In general, I think people are worried about saying the wrong thing to any grieving person. On a very basic level, I think they're frightened of touching off tears or sorrow, as though someone tearing up at the mention of unhappy news would be the mentioner's fault.
Creativity is an energy. It's a precious energy, and it's something to be protected. A lot of people take for granted that they're a creative person, but I know from experience, feeling it in myself, it is a magic; it is an energy. And it can't be taken for granted.
You can't have it all, all at once. Who - man or woman - has it all, all at once? Over my lifespan, I think I have had it all. But in different periods of time, things were rough. And if you have a caring life partner, you help the other person when that person needs it.
I'm not a party person.
My mother is brilliant; she's the best person in the world and keeps me grounded.
My dad came out of the Roosevelt era and the Depression. One person and one party made a difference in his life. That's what everybody forgot when they called my father and other people political bosses.
To me, the word 'hero' hasn't got positive or negative value - 'hero' is the person who leads you through the story.
I'm not as much a history person as an art person, but I mean, you can read history through art.
There are certain vulnerabilities and insecurities that go along with not being linked to another person in a contractual way, even if it's an unspoken contract. People in New York manage that pretty well. I prefer choice and desire over convention and limitation.
The new record started out being about loss, but it's morphed into being about how relationships go on even though one person is not in a body anymore.
There are days where I can go into a room full of people, talk to every single person, and feel completely at ease, and feel like making every single person laugh, and feel like everyone's having a great time. There are other times where I go into a room of people, and I literally want to run and hide.
I seem to get into situations that make people laugh, but I don't consider myself that funny of a person. I'm not witty. I'm kind of slow in conversations. I'm not that articulate with jokes. The first time I made stuff and screened it for an audience, I was surprised what people were laughing at.
I'm an outgoing person. Once my parents passed away, it was just my daughter and myself. So, really, my friends are my family.
I'm not the 'look at me' kind of a person. I do not like showing off in public or written about.
The Devil, of course, must have been or must be a very charming person.
Drake is an amazing person. Also, a magician. He's a big brother, super-talent; he's cool.
I don't have one specific person that I think is the most athletic person.
The person I love most is the Dalai Lama. China destroyed his country, yet he says that it's imperative we show love for the Chinese.
I'm a very liberal person.
I am not looking for a relationship right now. I have no interest in putting my time or effort into another person, nor do I need another person to put energy into me, OK? Because that's what granola bars are for.
I'd rate myself an 8. I do have my flaws, but I'm a cool dude. If I wasn't myself, I'd kick it with me. I'm a down-to-earth person and all around cool guy.
I'm not a mean person, but I have a capacity for it.
I'm actually a very shy person. You'd be surprised how many leaders are shy. They're not all extroverts by nature.
I've always just talked to my family and my friends. I've never been a person that's gone through excessive therapy at all. Some people might say that I should.
There is only one way... to get anybody to do anything. And that is by making the other person want to do it.
Weirdly, when I'm playing an English person, I feel like I've got nothing to hang on to, and it feels a bit strange and exposing.
I believe very deeply in my soul that God paired me and my father purposely and that he knew that my father would give me the strength to be a person with disability that was proud, always held her head high, and was never, ever bitter.
I'm not a stand-up comedian. I'm not an improv person or anything, but I've always been a fan of that stuff.
I was stranded in Disco. I went to dozens of darkened places with enough flashing lights to drive the average person mad. I felt lost in the pulse of sheer panic.
I like to make jokes; I consider myself a funny person. I just think making jokes about people who are in a situation beyond their control is not funny to them or their families.
Sometimes I'll read an audition and I'll get a very strong first impression about who the person is, and I usually go with it.
If I'd been bright, I'd have realized that I was horribly uncomfortable, amazingly frustrated, and like any sensible person, I'd have quit. But it never occurred to me that I wouldn't be successful eventually.
The art of acting is to pitch good. You do the pitching and hope that the other person catches the ball and does some good pitching back to you.
When you have kids, there's a tendency to put the marriage stew on the back burner and give it a quick stir now and then. But it's important to remember why you had children with this person.
I am a victim-oriented person. I like to see that the victims know that they have a voice.
I'm generally quite an angry person, and I like to channel my anger toward something creative.
