The thing about 'Doctor Who' is it's chased around the world, so there's 50 fans hanging out at every location.
'Jersey Boys' was a lot of running around and a lot of energy, but it was more stylized movement.
I rarely repeat playing the same role in a show. I figured I'd plumbed 90 percent the first time around, so let's move on to something where I'm starting from scratch.
What makes me happy is the appreciation of people around me.
Having that music around us all the time, it was so inspiring. But at the same time, I was a kid. I didn't pay attention to any of it. I'd get on the drums and hit them a few times, and then go outside and play.
Everybody around the world wants to send their kids to our universities. But nobody wants to send their kids here to public school.
In New York, especially, so much of your life is spent on the streets. You don't always want to be driving around in an SUV with a security guard. You want to be able to walk to a restaurant; you want to go and do things.
I lived in a small town. It was 2,000 people in Canada. A little river that went through it and we swam in the - you know, there was a lot of water around. Niagara Falls was about four or five miles away.
See, I'm fortunate that I get around a lot because of my movie business.
An astonishing portion of my life is built around trying to evade vomiting and preparing for the eventuality that I might.
Our culture has kind of let the concept of the Renaissance Man die out. We don't really tell the kids that it's okay to bounce around the world, work odd jobs, and do six different things.
We have a documentary film festival in Mexico. It's really original. It's called Ambulante, and it's a film festival that travels around several cities in Mexico.
To me it's no accident that all the symphony orchestras around the world tune up to the note A. And A is 440 cycles, except in Germany where it's 444. But the universe is 450 cycles. So what I'm trying to say is, I think it's God's voice, melody especially. Counterpoint, retrograde inversion, harmony... that's the science and the craft.
I think people are smart enough to sort it out. They know when they're watching one of these food fight shows where journalists sit around and yell and scream at each other, versus serious issue reporting.
I can't just sit around thinking how lucky I am.
Growing up, I didn't have many comics, but I grew to love these characters through their film and television universes. I've been geeking out about these superheroes ever since I could tie a towel around my neck like a cape and jump off my grandmother's porch.
Being around some of the bright lights of the technology world and having them expect great things helps you sit down and do it seriously.
People will feel safer around you and speak truthfully to you when they feel you are listening intently to them.
It's pretty well known that the CIA has been installing friendly dictators around the world for years.
There's too much insecurity on studio sets, with all the people standing around, whispering.
It is better to take what does not belong to you than to let it lie around neglected.
I'm not going to be bullied or pushed around by the group of the day. You've got to have political courage. You've got to have your own inner beliefs.
I want to be able to enjoy my life to the fullest so I can add something to the lives of people around me.
I've played in bands with A-team players around. But unless they can play together, it doesn't do any good. And you can take guys who may not stand on their own up against a bunch of individuals they might be compared to, but you put 'em together, man, and they are unique unto themselves in a way that no one else can touch.
We're willing to make difficult and hard decisions and compromises to live in peace with our neighbours, but we're entitled to our own country where Jews from around the world can come here, just as Palestinians from around the world can come to the Palestinian state.
Paul Newman's an old friend of ours out of Cleveland, Ohio. He used to sit around our house. He's the only man I've ever known to drink a case of beer all by himself. That's talent in a way.
I've been bitten by a python. Not a very big one. I was being silly, saying: 'Oh, it's not poisonous...' Then, wallop! But you have fear around animals.
There's a lot of theaters in New York. You can always go out and be around a lot of like-minded comedians.
My best artist friend is definitely Jason Aldean. He and I really get along great and are really great friends. It's fun to tour with a buddy and somebody that I just enjoy hanging out with. If we weren't touring together, we'd be hunting in the off-season still and knocking around doing stuff, certainly.
If you hang around long enough to show these people what you can do, you have a chance in this acting business.
We need to quit arguing about whether the glass is half full or half empty - and instead acknowledge that there's not quite enough water to go around.
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.
If your mom is still around, you're so lucky.
I've been around doing a little of this and a little of that.
I refuse to be pushed around anymore.
When I was younger, I talked to the adults around me that I respected most about how they got where they were, and none of them plotted a course they could have predicted, so it seemed a waste of time to plan too long-term. Since then, I've always gone on my instincts.
