I thrive on physical confrontation. It's a competitive juice in me. I'm always going to have that in the back of my mind. So whether I'm 49, 59, 69 or 109, I'm always going to think that I can go out and compete.
The problem with TV now is that there's so much competition, that you're always on the chopping block.
I always make fun of KISS because I don't particularly think their music is anything.
There's a lot about the character. It doesn't always happen, but there are some characters you really create a relationship with, almost as if they were your friend. And you never get into their heads again or think like them.
Acting is just something I always knew I wanted to do - acting and writing.
As a writer, I always try as hard as possible to get out of the way of the story, so maybe that's the most important thing my readers should know - I'm all about the story, not about the ego.

Conservatives are charitable, forgiving, and are always - always - more willing to laugh at themselves.
Proverbs are always platitudes until you have personally experienced the truth of them.
I'd like to see fashion slow down a bit. What freaks me out about fashion today is the speed - the speed of consuming, the speed of ideas. When fashion moves so fast, it takes away something I always loved, which is the idea that fashion should be slightly elusive. Hard to grasp, hard to find.
Theater actors like to change character roles. They don't like to always do the same thing.
I've never been one to try to find a niche for myself. I've always tried to wait and see what comes.
I'm into sincerity in music and sincerity in art. If it doesn't feel true, I don't want to do it. Things that are too dramatic scare me. I think that's why I don't always fit into the world of performing arts.

Justice is like a train that is nearly always late.

I learned running the government for the Presidency, which I always thought was difficult, is even more difficult than I thought.

I'll always have my skate life, but I absolutely like the fun of making movies.
One must always maintain one's connection to the past and yet ceaselessly pull away from it.

For some reason, I have always had a really good ability to write children in a way that's realistic but not annoying. The key to that is underwriting them: peel back the dialogue and keep it simple.
There are places that I've always wanted to go. First I went to Africa, and when I was there I realized there were places in Africa I really to wanted to visit: The Congo, West Africa, Mombassa. I wanted to see the deep, dark, outlandish places.
I've always been under the impression that it would be such a bummer to be in a peaceful place like Hawaii or the tropics and be stressed about catching waves.
I have always viewed my role as a sort of ambassador or bridge between groups to help provide a dialog.
