Definitely, people laugh a lot on the set. The actor always feels bad about laughing during a take. But I love it. It means you are having a good time and you are enjoying yourself. There is nothing wrong with laughter.
My parents never condescended to me. As a child, I always sat at the head of our dinner table. I was always given a lot of responsibility.
My father was very methodical about life. He'd always ask me, 'Now, what's your system? What's your schedule like?' I have no big system, no rigid schedule. When he would ask, 'How do you do this? Give it to me step by step,' I'd try to convince him that there were no step-by-steps.
I was always active as a kid. I was a professional figure skater for many years and I was a dancer, so it's just been part of my life, and I think that creates a certain body type.
Being a reality star is very chaotic: it's a very dramatic job to do. I always 24/7 have to be on and ready for any type of criticism at all times.
It is clear I was never the Pretty Girl. I had my two front teeth knocked out when I was 10 and didn't fix them until I was 19. I have a crooked smile and a nose that looks like it's been broken 12 times but never has been. My nose was always red, so people called me Rudolph. My whole face is off-center.
I do think I'm country, but your definition of that word might be different from my definition. In my opinion, country music, the sound of country, has always evolved. But the one thing that has not changed is the story element. And I think country songs are truthful songs about life written by country people.
In a weird way, I'm always going to ground myself. I'm an insecure kind of pessimist, but I'm always kind of waiting for the other shoe to drop.
I've always hated the danger part of climbing, and it's great to come down again because it's safe.
I've always been a fan of issues around race and racialism, and I've loved playing with it. People act as though it isn't an issue, but it's a recurring theme in our lives globally.
I'm not always the most diplomatic person.
I love Dolce & Gabbana. I've always liked them a lot - they seem to fit me well.
Health has always been an important thing to me. I exercise and try to take care of myself, and drink a lot of water! And I push that to my kids so that they can carry on that same energy.
As an actor, I always feel you basically have to be able to delude yourself.
I can't sit on my bum very long in a movie theater seat, and when I'm directing, I always want to move the camera or edit.
As an actor, you always want to find a piece of who you are in every role you take on.
The separation of a childless couple is dramatic, but the separation of a couple with children is always tragic.
To all of you who are Republicans of long standing, I hope you appreciate that I always tried to stand for conservative values.
I have no regrets. I had an amazing surrogate who carried my son for me. I am so grateful to her. I can even say I am grateful for having cancer. I was always meant to be a mom, but if I didn't have cancer, I never would have had Zev. I would have had a kid, but not Zev, and I want Zev - tantrums and all.
I always put myself in the audience's place and see if, as a viewer, I would want to see the film. If yes, then I want to know who's directing it, what my character is, and if it's impactful. If all these points fall in place, I'll do the film. If not, then I won't think twice before saying no.
It's always good to be working.
Fortunately, I've always had self-belief.
I love my stuff - you're not supposed to say that. But because I'm performer as well as a writer, I'm constantly interacting with my own work. I always get to find these little secrets that I left for myself, little notes - I find them all over the scores.
As an actor on sets, I've always clocked how hard the crew works, how much longer their days are, how much lesser their glory is - and the fact that their commitment to the work and project is unwavering, no matter the budget.
When you're in high school, and you're trying to get the attention of a guy you like, sometimes you don't always make the best decisions.
I've always been a huge fantasy fan. I was always interested in fairy tales and anything with magic or dragons... I was always drawn to those types of stories.
I am always joking and always clowning, giving and helping.
When I'm in my car, I'm listening to books, audio books, always.
Hygiene is important. That's one of my failings. So I'm always being called on that.
I returned to India after long years of international service, because I had always cherished the desire to make a difference in my own country.
I always managed to get in trouble, like every kid. But I had to learn a lot of hard lessons on my own, without parents who would nurture me and guard me through that part of life, at a very young age.
When you're coming up with new material, it's not always gonna be good. The only way to learn is for it not to get a laugh, so you can adjust it and come back the next day to see if it's working right. Next time, you might get a different laugh. You're constantly rebuilding.
I started taking piano lessons when I was about 5, and there was always a lot of music in my family: my parents both play instruments, my grandparents were classical violinists, and my grandfather was actually a music professor and a conductor.
I always had a dream to play for India but I never let it put pressure on me.
I've always said, the harder the golf course, the better I play.
I'd try to channel my nervous energy in a positive way into strength and endurance. It didn't always work.
