Coming from Britain, I was terrified of meeting all these other artists, because artists over there tend to fight with each other a lot, the premise being that there's not enough room for everybody.
British audiences tend to want to see their own lives reflected on TV, whereas American audiences are quite aspirational and enjoy high-concept shows that show them lives that are perhaps slightly more exciting than they aspire to.
As a reporter you tend to seek coherence from your subject or your source - it all needs to add up and make sense. In truth, in reality, there's often a great deal of murkiness and muddiness, confusion and contradiction.
I don't mind UFO's and ghost stories, it's just that I tend to give value to the storyteller rather than to the story itself.
It's not that I find it hard to meet girls - they do come up and chat me up from time to time. Sometimes I'm interested, I tend not to go for the prettier ones. I prefer the quirkier types.
There is a paranoid streak in American life. Radio talk show hosts tend to foment that paranoid streak in American life.
When you look at golf films before us they're all - garbage or satire. A lot of sports films tend to vilify the opposition. Where the opposition becomes this big angry monster, so big you can't beat him.
Independent booksellers tend to have good taste and big mouths.
I tend to eat what I want, which probably isn't good.
The films that I do tend to polarise people's views.
I like having a schedule. I tend to be the type of person that thrives on something being regular.
I use circumlocution too often, and instead of getting my point across, I tend to babble.
People tend to forget their duties but remember their rights.
Travelling is difficult, and writers tend to want to stay at home and do their work.
I tend not to know what the plot is or the story is or even the theme. Those things come later, for me.
I don't tend to do a whole Instagram theme. I like to capture the moment in front of me and make it look as good as possible!
These days i tend to use one project I do as a kind of offshoot to the next.
I tend to look for pathologies everywhere.
I think rock records tend to be very expensive.
Close elections tend to break toward the challenger because undecided voters - having held out so long against the incumbent - are by nature looking for change.
All my movies, as I get the ability to do it, they tend to go a little darker, a little darker.
So it's a much more difficult issue to organize around, because you can't get media at all to make your case. And that's where cases tend to be made politically.
Education in British schools isn't good enough. It's not remotely imaginative enough. It lets down too many children, excluding them from society, and, as I've often said, people who are excluded from society tend to express themselves in ways not acceptable to society.
I work hard, and I tend to play hard. I very seldom rest hard.
So, my style has hopefully changed over the years and it is more relaxed, and I do tend to smile and have more than one expression these days hopefully - which I didn't at the beginning.
Every day there's a lot of things I block out, because if I start visualising things, I tend to go completely insane. I've always had anxiety issues, and it can totally overwhelm me and suck me under if I'm not keeping focused. I just think and think until I have a panic attack, and then it dies down.
I tend to play in a way that feels natural to me. To me that's authentic for myself. I play by where I'm led by some sense of where I feel I'm supposed to be.
People in the mass media tend more and more every day to look and act like elected and appointed officials.
National film industries tend to move in cycles. In Australia right now, we're on a high, a feeling of potential, which as yet shows no sign of flagging. But the word 'industry' is misleading. A small national cinema has no industry in the Hollywood sense.
The way people look at me these days - that's the same way I looked at President Obama before I met him. We tend to forget that people who've attained a certain position are human.
I'm not the kind of person who would throw himself into some exciting or dangerous situation just to get material. So I tend to go about my normal, boring life and just try to look at things a little more closely.
I tend to start at 9 o'clock in the morning and write until 3. Those are my best hours. They fit the other rhythms of the world. So I write for six hours, pretty much without any breaks.
People, like sheep, tend to follow a leader - occasionally in the right direction.
The advantage we have as Americans is that we can be fair; we tend to be more open-minded about different styles of wine.
The more aware a man is of a woman's body, the better. He needs to know he has to tend to a woman. She might not always return the favor, but a man always has to tend to a woman first.
I tend not to wear ties very often. I'm usually in old stuff: Hermes or Marc Jacobs boots and jeans and a T-shirt and a leather jacket or a jean jacket.
