I like the performing. And interviews, even. And the stuff that's not sitting in a room by yourself with empty paper. But I never loved writing, to tell you the truth.
Come to think of it, the way I play is like a drum machine- very mechanical.
The thing that sets Mars apart is that it is the one planet that is enough like Earth that you can imagine life possibly once having taken hold there.
So usually even if you like a sentence or a story or something, it won't come out that way - it'll come out years later, and in a different way, and you don't really control that.
Sometimes in the morning, when it's a good surf, I go out there, and I don't feel like it's a bad world.
There's no dancing girls. We're kinda like secondary to the thing. It's a story about these two guys that are in love with this one girl and how it unfolds and what happens.
I can dance. I like hip hop and stuff and jazz movements, but I'm horrible in ballet. I tried.
People do not like to think. If one thinks, one must reach conclusions. Conclusions are not always pleasant.
I grew up in eastern Kentucky, and we would sing in the churches, and there's lots of good mountain church singers out there. Like a lot of folks who turn out to be secular music artists, that's a lot of the training you put in, whether you know it or not.
So the majority of Americans are conservatives. They believe in things like the Constitution. I know that's weird to some people but they believe in it.
Each and every year I feel like I've gotten a little bit better and that's always been my goal, was just to get a little bit better.
I try not to be overly literal. When I'm writing songs, I write down a lot of words, and then I try to simplify it. I like to give people hints or words that make visual pictures for them.
I don't really care what the visual is looking like. I've gotten away from - not shenanigans, but spectacle.
It wasn't the traditional cooking most people do. For me, as a young chef, Thanksgiving meant going to work in the kitchen at places like Gotham, JoJo and Jean-Georges.
The earth is such a voluminous, sparse, wild place that has its own rhythm that human beings try to control and strategize our way around, but the truth is, if you're out someplace like the ocean on a capsized boat, it doesn't matter if you have academic degrees, or if you're a martial-arts ninja. Nature is a bigger force than you.
Beauty and the Beast seemed like it all was really brown. The whole thing was just so brown and orange and yellow, like Burger King or something. I don't think I would have liked Beauty and the Beast at any age.
I never knew what a reporter looked like.
You should see my house. It's sort of explosive. Like a crazy person lives there.
I like pushing myself, and usually if I'm not good at something I just won't do it because I'm a perfectionist.
Unless it's something very clever like 'Memento,' most independent films have a very tough life out there.
I like a girl to wear oversize sweaters that look like my own - it's beyond sexy.
It's really remarkable when you think about what we don't like about government, we, the people created. So if we created it, we can also fix it.
Character isn't something you were born with and can't change, like your fingerprints. It's something you weren't born with and must take responsibility for forming.
I sometimes just don't like to see the Ultimate Fighting. I just find it, as a martial artist, I just find it too violent.
Given that, and assuming that we begin to adjust to issues like climate change and the greenhouse effect, Denver's location in the center of the country becomes a tremendous advantage.
Sometimes it feels like it hurts when you make a big purchase, so I really believe that the more expensive things should be gems that you keep in your closet, not trends.
I love eggs so much. I feel like my day hasn't started until I've had eggs. I'm probably gonna die from high cholesterol!
I like dressing like a guy. I love it. When I was modeling I used to do pictures where I would dress up like my little brother. No makeup, and I looked like a boy.
Even celebrities, most people have a sense of humor. Most of the people we meet who we've done on the show, like it.
Time is like money, the less we have of it to spare the further we make it go.
Like most kids, you don't want to do what your folks want you to do. You've got your own thing.
There is no grief like the grief that does not speak.
I want to play a character I've never been before-a crazy serial killer like Charlize Theron in Monster. I'd love to have to shave my head.
Howard Hughes was this visionary who was obsessed with speed and flying like a god... I loved his idea of what filmmaking was.
For me, writing a novel is more like digging a well than climbing a mountain - some heroic thing where I set out to conquer. I just sit quietly for a few years, and then it starts to become something.
I actually was consciously trying to emulate bands like Bruce Springsteen, and just trying to emulate what they do structurally.
