It has been my experience that if we make the effort to listen to people when we meet them, and work to get to know them a little, it is then easy to find something likeable in practically anyone.
In the south of France the phones cut in and out, the electricity isn't particularly reliable. I think many people would get very irritated with that life.
The thing with playing live is, most of the audience is in their 20s and 30s. If you're older than that, you don't tend to go out to shows anymore. So it's good if you can attract a younger audience because they've got the energy to get up off the sofa and go out.
They look at someone like me, and I just really get up their nose. I really wind them up.
If I had been under ObamaCare, and a beaurocrat had been trying to tell me when I could get that CT scan, that would have delayed my treatment. I was able to get the treatment as fast as I could based upon my timetable, and not the government's timetable. That's what saved my life.
The fans are always at the hotel waiting, they like to get pictures and autographs. I enjoy it all, the displays of love and support at the hotel and the shows.
From beginning to end I worried that Ang Lee wouldn't be satisfied with my work. So I worked as hard as I could to earn his trust, because you only get a chance like this once.
I've never tried to emulate anyone. I've never idolized people, I prefer instead to get off on attitudes.
I have been up against tough competition all my life. I wouldn't know how to get along without it.
Don't assume I have everything figured out... I get as confused about life as everybody, and sometimes I think I'm just hurtling through the world without a plan at all.
Because of the way my words get scrutinized, I have to use a level of precision so people don't accuse me of misleading them.
If there was a mobility service that's cheaper than owning a car, more reliable, and you get to sit in the back seat instead of being stressed out in the front seat, why would you own a car?
I see my upbringing as a great success story. By disciplining me, my parents inculcated self-discipline. And by restricting my choices as a child, they gave me so many choices in my life as an adult. Because of what they did then, I get to do the work I love now.
I don't want to be overdramatic about it, but I'm starting to see a lot of my bad habits get the best of me.
People over 30 are interested in sex too, but they get real movies about it.
I do get a lot of requests for specific things.
I think the people get that I'm just kind of an anomaly in a certain way.
I've been acting for 27 years, and anonymity has always been a part of what I do. Of course you get recognised every now and again, but 'Homeland' pushed me into a completely different strata, and that took me by surprise.
I look at my first appointment book from 1965 and I get dizzy. I was constantly in a phone booth calling photographers.
Lead, follow, or get out of the way.
I remember being described often as 'the horrifically ugly Jack McCall,' and I kept thinking it took me about 10 seconds to get like that.
I get up to write while it's still dark, 5 or 5:30. I start by editing and rewriting everything I did the day before, and that gives some momentum for the day.
We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.
I wanted to just do a one-act play for 26 minutes, with commercials at the beginning and end. For years, I couldn't get my way. They wanted to interrupt three times.
Everybody wants their fame. They long for it, and I think they don't much care how they get it - to attract attention to themselves.
I think Jennifer Lawrence seems to really get it right when she's on the red carpet.
Everybody wants to get enlightened but nobody wants to change.
It's funny that it all becomes about clothes. It's bizarre. You work your butt off and then you win an award and it's all about your dress. You can't get away from it.
I was raised by an actress, and I watched all those women turn 60 and ask, Shouldn't get face work? My mother and Anne Bancroft said, We're not going to fall into that.
When you hear a large symphony orchestra. for instance, in a concert hall, there's a big, sweeping sound that just doesn't get on to a record.
Recently, I've been working on anew album of material, which should be out in the new Millennium. I'm not sure which song will be put out as a single, but I'm still hoping to get another record in the charts.
We often learn the hard way that our world is ruled by external factors. We don't always get what is rightfully ours, even if we've earned it.
Whether gods exist or not, there is no way to get absolute certainty about ethics. Without absolute certainty, what do we do? We do the best we can.
I never get lonely; even as a child, I didn't.
You don't try to get influenced by everything that's going on with all the other music around you. You don't listen to the radio - I mean, I don't. When I get ready to do an album, I don't listen to anybody else; I don't wanna be influenced.
I'll use men's shirts, I love men's shirts, but you have to get them altered because they're shaped differently and I like them to be fitting.
