I think we're lucky because there are very few people in life who get to do what we're doing.
Google demotes search results that don't get clicked on.
I moved to Nashville with the same kind of mindset that I had in L.A., and that is to make sure you don't get outworked by anybody and make sure you're always writing songs and take every opportunity to play that you can.
I went to regular schools and I was home schooled a lot but I don't have any history in schools. Like, I literally don't exist. I didn't even get a birth certificate until the mid-80s. I always feel like I could be, like, 10 years younger, or maybe I'm 70!
Comedy is so fun. I don't know how these people can make movies and work on them for four months and they're these sob stories. I don't know how emotionally you get through that.
If you are not used to the g-forces, it can really mess with you. There's this overwhelming power that sweeps through the cabin. Your senses get pegged out. You're looking for comfort or safety but you won't find any. All you can do is keep breathing.
If I have another child, I doubt I'll get married again. I don't think men particularly want to be with me.
If you have a good inner life, you don't get lonely. I've got a good imagination. I don't miss romance.
I suppose I just had this Christian idea about how I ought to go about my life. I thought, 'If I work really hard and have a bit of success, the problems I'd had all my life would leave me.' But, of course, not a bit of it left me because Asperger's is not something you just get over or grow out of.
Obviously any group that has to have funding also needs to get attention to their issues.
The more alone I am, the more focused I can get. I've written things with people, some of which I liked and others I think are total travesties. Collaborating is trying to make a piece of music and get someone else to come up with the ideas. What's the fun of that?
We have a saying in Guns N' Roses: 'When somebody's gonna get yelled at, they're gonna get the corn.'
Give a talk to children and tell them dinosaurs didn't drag their tails, and you get arguments.
The housing market will get worse before it gets better.
I also get fed up with the fact that casting agents and directors have this impression of me as being frail and petite. I find it very patronizing. I'm quite beefy and strong. I was a gymnast in school and I have lots of muscles.
For 15 years I did two to three movies a year, sometimes four. I didn't get to spend time building my personal life.
If you're happy with what you're doing, then you don't get bored.
Americans hate their cable companies - for bumbling installers, on-again-off-again transmissions, peculiar channel selections, and indifferent customer service. The only thing cable subscribers hate more than the cable company is not being able to get what it delivers: multichannel selection and good reception.
When your lips get dry, is there anything more frantic?
My mom said, 'Don't get married. You're too young. Go out there and experience what life has to offer.' And I did.
Writing is pretty flexible work, don't you think? If you want to surf, you just have to get a lot done when the waves are lousy. That's what I'm always telling myself, anyway - write while the surf's down!
The truth is, I like to engage with life fully. Given an opportunity to do something I don't often get a chance to do, I feel the need to try it, even if I suspect I'll make a fool out of myself.
I went to the Wharton School of Finance, the toughest place to get into. I was a great student.
I'm beginning to get pigeonholed as the girl who plays the crazies and weirdoes - and that's not the entirety of who I am. Hopefully, the whole point of being in this profession is that you change into anyone you want to be.
There could be some unknown actor who's a better actor than Ving Rhames, but no one knows that actor, so Ving Rhames will get the job.
The older you get, the more you realize you're drifting toward a direction, and sometimes your significant other drifts into an opposite direction. You can't blame anybody for it.
My father lost his leg in 1927 playing soccer. A kick broke his leg; gangrene set in. They sawed it off. So he didn't get what a lot of Irish immigrants got, which was a job on the Waterfront - he didn't get that.
Personally, I don't think we could do such a show if we didn't get along. The subtext of all this is that we're women in a show so we can't possibly get along. It's not like they write about The Sopranos like that.
The career doesn't get any easier. A career stays tough.
If I'm at home for the weekend - and that is almost never - I tend to get twitchy at about eight o'clock in the evening because my body clock is timed to go on stage. I don't know what to do with myself.
We've won both the best and worst band in so many major magazines - we just get written off so much, but we don't care.
It's nice to finally get scripts offered to me that aren't the ones Tom Hanks wipes his butt with.
Once you get into the world of dystopia, it's hard to avoid plagiarism, because other people have had such powerful visions.
My mission in life is to try and get to a point where my insides world is not affected by the outside world.
My main concern is when it's 2-0, I've got to keep it at 2-0. It gives us a little more of a chance. To give up four more runs, that isn't going to get it done. I don't care who you're facing or who you're playing, it's not going to get it done.
I used to sit in front of McDonald's and ask people for dollars to get me a cheeseburger. It was bad.
