My first acting lessons were Shakespeare. The first time I ever started working with a coach was doing scenes from 'Measure for Measure,' which were tough dramatic scenes. And then 'Taming of the Shrew,' which required comedic timing. And that's the kind of stuff I love.
If I didn't believe in what I'm doing, I'd rather go to work in a dime store.
The way to get things done is not to mind who gets the credit for doing them.
It's a great counter to doing the soap because it's a comedy. It's real physical comedy.
There is only one secret. To love what you are doing.
The body is a great machine, and it knows how to take care of itself. I think more often than not the things we do to our skin or our bodies can hold it back from doing its proper job.
Every single time I start to do a picture, without fail, I feel as if I don't know what I'm doing.
My greatest love in life is to develop projects. I just get a huge kick out of that. I've been doing it since ever I could.
I'd be more interested in doing a smaller, character driven thing, rather than another action picture.
Growing up, I was always in my high school musicals and everything, but I kind of stopped doing all that when I finished school and acting became my main priority.
When you're doing a deal with someone in the southern Sahara, it's a very different way of doing business than in London. You can't sign them in the usual way because they'd end up getting ripped off, which would defeat the object of setting up a label like this.
It is funny the two things most men are proudest of is the thing that any man can do and doing does in the same way, that is being drunk and being the father of their son.
We may simply not be wise enough to do some of the kinds of engineering things that people are talking about doing.
This is a country for, of, and by the people not for, of, and by the government. If we turn it over to them we cannot complain about what they're doing because this is a natural course of men and we have to hold their feet to the fire.
By cultivating the beautiful we scatter the seeds of heavenly flowers, as by doing good we cultivate those that belong to humanity.
Doing nothing for others is the undoing of ourselves.
I never planned to be an actor. It turned out I could make a living doing it.
I just stay focused, and I always think about gymnastics. I am just doing what I always do... working really hard and pushing myself to the maximum and keeping myself motivated.
The toughest part was doing it in front of the world and recognizing that you had gotten to a point where if you didn't do something you were going to die.
Make sure you are doing something you love to do when working out. Nobody likes to work, so when you do choose a workout, make it something you enjoy doing. You won't stick with it if you hate it and if it feels like work. Find something fun. My favorite thing to do is Jujitsu.
I admire Madonna because she always did whatever she felt like doing. She went through some controversial periods when people rejected her, but she kept on reinventing herself.
Because I've done so many hour dramas, people tend to think of you as more of a dramatic actor and don't see you as doing comedy.
I'm getting ready to write a piece now, and it's been six months thinking about it, changing the instrumentation, changing the name, doing more reading.
I think if we keep on doing good music and people like us and they buy the magazine because we are in the magazine then they cant basically hate us hopefully.
If one person feels the way I felt when I first fell in love with country music, then I'm doing my job.
What I've found - and the older I get, the more I understand this and stand behind it - is, my whole life has been an exploration of telling the truth. It's scary to be truthful, and it's scary to reveal yourself, and I'm very attracted to doing things that scare me.
Right now, I'd like to just continue on a series where I am doing good work with a balance of comedy and drama. That and do occasional features and movies.
I've heard people say to me, 'How can you claim to be a feminist when you dress like that?' I wear a lot of slip dresses and nightwear and stuff. People always question my credibility because of that: 'Oh, are you selling sex? Are you doing this or that to be recognized more or to sell your music?' No, it's just a fashion thing for me.
I started practicing Yoga at about 18. I had a friend who was doing it and was incredibly disciplined and meditated all the time.
So it's the greatest compliment in the world when people want to hear you sing. That means it feels good to them, so I keep doing it.
Every man who says frankly and fully what he thinks is doing a public service.
I felt that there were so many people doing it that I would just be like one of the others.
I don't do one show and wish I was doing something else.
When you love what you do, you're happy just doing it!
When Bruce Lee gets his cameo in 'The Green Hornet' - as one of the drawings in Kato's notebook - it clarifies what the film is: an unrealized sketch. A sketch can afford to allude to a point of view. Moviemakers need to show their point of view, something this shrug of a movie never gets around to doing.
After doing Johnny I wanted to just do something, I wouldn't say innocent, but to not have any care in the world. Lots of setups and horrible happenings but its funny.
