My agent knows what I'm looking for. And I'm also looking for a new agent, too, so I'm putting it out there. Again, I'm not going to turn down every role, because there is no bad role, really. It's all what you bring to the role, but that traditional, 'Stand here and open a rope,' I'm not doing it.
We have to make machines understand what they're doing, or they won't be able to come back and say, 'Why did you do that?'
I don't take it very seriously. You shouldn't let your success get to your head or failure get to your heart. This is most commonly said. But people don't really practise it. I don't see myself as a celebrity; it has not sunk in. I just see myself as someone doing a nine-to-six job like a techie.
Movie stars are doing TV series, and former TV stars are doing guest shots. Everybody gets bumped down the line. That's affected everyone in the industry. I've been lucky; I've stayed busy. I'll cross my fingers until it's my turn to be sitting around, not working. I'm sure that'll happen, too.
I had a stormy graduate career, where every week we would have a shouting match. I kept doing deals where I would say, 'Okay, let me do neural nets for another six months, and I will prove to you they work.' At the end of the six months, I would say, 'Yeah, but I am almost there. Give me another six months.'
I needed to feed my family. I read a couple of the episodes. How can you keep on doing the same thing?
I'm doing the kind of show that I would want to see.
My older sister encouraged me from early on and bought me one of the first guitars I had. She listened to all of the crappy songs that I wrote when I was 8 years old and encouraged me to keep doing it.
My kids are doing just great.
I have a sense of urgency, of time. I am a woman and am always running between work, doctors' appointments, school meetings, filling up the fridge, then going back to work. Like everyone who combines professional and family life, I am always doing several things at the same time.
The first essential in a boy's career is to find out what he's fitted for, what he's most capable of doing and doing with a relish.
Obviously, I have a lot of memories here... but at the same time I'm going to put all my energies into moving forward and doing my best for the Thrashers.
I am very grateful to make my living doing what I would do for free.
When I started doing 'The City' in 1990, most papers ran it the width of the page, 10 inches or so. It was great! I had lots of room to draw and write. It was the golden age of weekly comix. Today, most run my strip half that size. I just try to make it legible. It's very frustrating.
Social computing is doing what agile methodology is doing to our process - it's breaking down our visibility.
You make documentaries because you love doing it; it's the only sane reason to make documentaries.
To do what we are doing in this budget to our children, cutting their health care funds, decreasing opportunity, simply so we can pay for tax cuts and a war in Iraq is beyond belief, and we need to reverse it.
If I'm going to see people, I won't wear heavy makeup. It's not attractive on me. When you see those pictures on my Instagram, they are usually for when I'm doing a photo shoot or an interview.
The New England conscience does not stop you from doing what you shouldn't-it just stops you from enjoying it.
I reserve the right to tell shaggy dog stories or even common jokes as part of what I'm doing. I don't give a damn if half the audience walks out.
Attack your lashes with the wand. I think there's nothing wrong with doing that.
Fashion is very important. It is life-enhancing and, like everything that gives pleasure, it is worth doing well.
Well, it was actually - I brought the idea of doing a documentary to HBO back in 2000, when there were some press reports sort of were bandied about that there were going to TV movies based on some of the books that were out.
Obviously, if people love a movie, and it has the possibility of continuation, then there is going to be a question of whether it's worth doing another one. There's also cynicism and skepticism about sequels.
The month of September is Women in Jazz, so I'm doing jazz there in September. I'm in for the duration.
At the same time, Clinton was doing a lot things right, like the economy.
Of course I want to take the last shot, let's be quite frank: I've been doing for nine years already, and I've made a ton of them.
Since doing the show I've been so busy that I've not really had time to mope.
My background was in graphic design, but when I was doing it, it was all hand-drawn stuff, not computers.
For my first Hollywood film, I really didn't want to be doing a film where I'm looking like a stooge with fake snakes that look like socks.
'Hot Pursuit,' 'Pitch Perfect 2,' 'Trainwreck,' and 'Spy' were all being done in the last year. All four of those movies I just mentioned are not rom-coms: they're all about women doing different things.
Any writer will be happy and good only if they know what they're doing and why they're doing it.
And wouldn't we be better off if every New Year's, we thought about the things we did right and we resolved to keep doing them, no matter how wacky they were.
It's kind of exciting again. I'm doing everything right, right now. I'm driving the ball well and I'm hitting some pretty good irons and giving myself opportunities.
I was concerned about doing a sequel and repeating myself. That was before I read the script.
They want to know I'm doing good, the fans do.
