I don't weigh a pound over one hundred and eighty and, what's more, I never did.
There is not one single place built in this country that did not have a former Arab population.
Almost everything in 'A Day With Wilbur Robinson' has some basis in truth. And yes, my sister did pay me to feed her grapes while she talked to her boyfriend on the phone.
Acting is seductive. It looks so much fun. I did dally with other things. I did pupillage in a law firm, but I didn't like the look of how many files the lawyer I was working with had to take home every night. It looked like a hideous amount of work, when actors were having nice lunches and discussing books.
The bravest thing I ever did was continuing my life when I wanted to die.
From the world of darkness I did loose demons and devils in the power of scorpions to torment.
Every field piece I did on 'The Daily Show' was a story that lasted five to six minutes. We had a protagonist, we had an antagonist and often put them at odds. We knew the story we wanted to tell before we went in, and often it was about plugging whatever character you have - in this case, a real person - into said part.
I didn't sing, but I did play the drums.
I do think that some of us began to realize that this was going to be a long struggle that was going to go on for decades, and you'd have to knuckle down. A lot of people in our generation did that. They didn't drop out and run away.
Almost everything The Beatles did was great, and it's hard to improve on. They were our Bach. The way to get around it may be to keep it as simple as possible.
I was brought up on art. My father thought I had a great hand at art and sent me to art school. But he did not want me to become a photographer.
One time we did have 300 acres in watermelons. That was fun.
The greatest sign of success for a teacher... is to be able to say, 'The children are now working as if I did not exist.'
I have been vain since birth. I expected other people to like what I did, although my vanity has definitely diminished over the years.
I never trashed a hotel room or did drugs.
I did a pilot for a show about community support officers, and all the community support officers were pleased that we didn't portray them as idiots.
The last thing I wanted to do was 'Battlestar Galactica.' I thought, 'I've done sci-fi. I did 'Blade Runner.' I don't have to do anything more.'
I saw a report yesterday. There's so much oil, all over the world, they don't know where to dump it. And Saudi Arabia says, 'Oh, there's too much oil.' They - they came back yesterday. Did you see the report? They want to reduce oil production. Do you think they're our friends? They're not our friends.
I did everything I could to win every time I was handed the ball.
I was very young when I did 'I Blame Coco,' and I never really recognized that sound as me.
Artie is a singer, and I'm a writer and player and a singer. We didn't work together on a creative level and prepare the songs. I did that.
We shot in a place called Asheville, which is like beautiful, beautiful forests. And then part of it we shot all the reaping stuff, which was just crazy - because the reaping in the book and in the script is such an emotional thing for everyone. It really did feel like that when we were shooting it.
I got very carried away with my 'Harry Potter' life and we did have school but I didn't study. I just had fun.
I did try to write fiction. I wrote 10 novels. And they were all just awful.
I had always fancied a go at the comedy and when it started to go reasonably well and the opportunity arose for me to move into it full time, I just couldn't turn it down. I just took the risk, and I just wanted to see if it would work and thankfully it did.
I get to study and I got to mimic and what I basically did was I stole from every person that I could steal from. I was an imitator. That's what I was. It was years before I could take all of these things that I loved about all of these different artists and put them together and find my voice.
The Sun in London ran a front page declaring my bum a national treasure. I really did laugh at that. Its not like it can actually do anything, except wiggle.
The Emmy that I lost, and I can't remember his name, I lost to the man who did the Olympics. So, it was great to lose to him. It's the Olympics.
What Apple did for technology is brilliant, but they didn't do nothin' for our economy.
Evolution doesn't just look for things that are fun; if it did, we'd know how to fly.
My mom used to make everything. She had a great garden and composted and made everything from scratch - peanut butter, bread, jelly, everything. I don't know how she did it because all those things take time and love and labour. I only do half the stuff she does - but there's still time.
I warm up a lot harder for a Clipping show than I ever did for 'Hamilton.'
My first movie was this independent that I did on the Erie Canal in 1995, called Erie, that I don't know if you could even get, actually with Felicity Huffman. And then from that I did this film that was eventually called The Broken Giant later that fall. And then I kind of started getting into doing pilots.
If what you did yesterday seems big, you haven't done anything today.
I did not have a date to the prom. I went to my junior prom alone, and my senior prom, I was doing my first movie. I went in a limousine with, like, a bunch of people to my junior prom. It was a group date.
The most important lesson I've learned in this business is how to say no. I have said no to a lot of temptations, and I am glad I did.
