I've always written. At the age of six or seven, I would get sheets of A4 paper and fold them in half, cut the edges to make a little eight-page booklet, break it up into squares and put in little stick men with little speech bubbles, and I'd have a spy story, a space story and a football story.
I'm becoming more indulgent and less giving as an actor as I get older. I'm immersing myself more in roles emotionally.
I'm tired of trying to get other people to see into my brain. I'm done.
I'm a big believer that we get the politicians we deserve.
The problem is, the more famous you get, the more people see you who didn't choose to.
The single moment when I knew that I had to get busy and do more was around the death of my son.
I usually write on a computer - unless I get stuck, at which point I switch to write by hand. I think that's common among writers if they get cornered on something.
They have had three years to get a resolution and they failed. Both of these guys have failed.
In equities, you price the risk. As far as debt is concerned, if the markets get more sophisticated where, for the levels of risks that you take, you get the debt returns, we will certainly look at it. It's back to a philosophy of risk-adjusted returns.
Once I walked out of my house into to the Puerto Rican Day parade. It was usually a five-minute walk to work, but that day it took me a half-hour to get to 30 Rock.
My hope is that that person will come forward that can win the presidency that we can all get behind.
I remember failing reading in school at a young age, and you just kinda get left behind and I felt helpless.
I want to go to Denmark and Scandinavia. We've been inundated with their telly recently, and I've never been to any of those countries. I really want to get to know the people. I quite fancy living there for a bit if I could take a month off. They just seem like upfront, friendly folk.
One lady wrote me and told me how she wants to see me get beat up and near death and that kind of stuff.
People get very thoughtful when they are in cars. I no longer care for cars. I don't collect them.
People often ask where I get my inspiration from, and I always say I have no good answer because, well, inspiration comes from everywhere: people, places, memories.
As we get used to women in power, we are likely to discover that they behave much like powerful men - vain, entitled, always looking for more.
Every time I write a nonfiction book I get sued.
One of the great things about Ben & Jerry's for me is that not only is it delicious, but I get it for free.
I play the harmonica. The only way I can play is if I get my car going really fast, and stick it out the window.
I don't live in the past at all; I'm always wanting to do something new. I make a point of constantly trying to forget and get things out of my mind.
I look at is as one single entity. I dehumanize the audience. This way, I don't get nervous, you know?
I get very tired of books that feel emotionally empty. I would much rather have writers err on the side of being overly sentimental than not. I think that the perfect balance is a story that moves you without being maudlin, but I don't enjoy books that are empty of emotion and there's no connection to the characters.
As someone who flew two space capsules and twice landed in the ocean, I can attest from personal experience how much logistics work is needed to get you home.
Cooking is all about people. Food is maybe the only universal thing that really has the power to bring everyone together. No matter what culture, everywhere around the world, people get together to eat.
I played a lot of sports when I was a kid so I get in that ballgame mindset of being really, really respectful, but at same time saying to yourself, 'Don't back down a single inch, hang with these guys if you can.' If they throw it high and tight you have to stand in there, you can't take yourself out of that moment.
I get drunk writing words. I don't drink or do drugs, but I get so carried away with writing that I get inebriated from it.
It's well known by now that I had a special need to get Maureen's goat when ever the opportunity presented itself. I was a boy and she was the enemy... a girl.
I don't get why radio shows allow artists to do shows without creative control, without any art direction at all. Instead of that, I get their press guys, their camera guys to be my backdrop of my show.
My big chip is that I never had an education. I wanted my children to get one so they didn't fall into the same trap as me.
I'm shocked at how early everything closes here. But people start earlier. I miss the late nightlife in NYC, but then again I sing and burn so much energy in the show that it's probably good - I get to go home and sleep.
We're really good friends and we hang out. It's like I get to hang out with my friends and get paid for it.
I'm a patriarch now. I've got to go get the bread.
When you work on these films for so long and so intensely, when you get to the end of them, suddenly there's nothing to do.
I just make it my business to get along with people so I can have fun. It's that simple.
But at the same time that the experience is pulling you apart, it's also bonding you. You have this joint venture! You both made this baby. And that's the thing I still can't get over.
