I didn't want to get that ring around my lips from practicing the trumpet, because I thought the girls wouldn't like me. So I never practiced.
I always knew I wanted to make movies since I was around eleven. I never thought of it as wanting to do straight-up comedy. Even now, I don't see things in terms of genre.
Mickey Mouse popped out of my mind onto a drawing pad 20 years ago on a train ride from Manhattan to Hollywood at a time when business fortunes of my brother Roy and myself were at lowest ebb and disaster seemed right around the corner.
I've grown up a little bit. I'm almost 40 years old now. But everyone was introduced to me when I was 18 and I looked like I was 15. I've been around a long time.
Ask anyone who knows me - I am constantly moving things around in my place.
It's nice to have been around long enough to be a part of people's lives. A lot of people who come to my show are real nostalgic for the '80s.
As an artist, you have an opportunity to get in and move things around in people.
My mobile rang around lunchtime one day, and it was George Michael. He wanted to come in on Friday. We were like, 'okay, if that's what you want'. And he was a very good guest. That's a real exception to the rule.
We're just delighted that management has come around to my way of thinking.
I like both music and acting, and they both have a lot in common - timing, immediacy, stuff like that. But acting is more regimented. You wait around for hours, you don't get to write the script, you get hired. Music represents me better. I'm not acting; I'm just expressing myself.
I'm almost shocked that I'm still around after all of these years... and always grateful that I get another turn to do something.
It's expensive to get studio space and dancers. My whole first three years, I was sneaking around in the studios and getting kicked out of them. It was kind of depressing.
My mistakes are always around moving too slow or moving too fast without process behind it. And it's something that, if we're not careful, we'll repeat again and again.
What I am more concerned about is whether our whole civilization will be around in the next 25 years.
Folks can't carry around money in their pocket. They've got to go to an ATM machine, and they've got to pay a few dollars to get their own dollars out of the machine. Who ever thought you'd pay cash to get cash? That's where we've gotten to.
I realized I had been keeping people around even when deep down I knew they were bad for me. I had overridden myself.
I love music and I love acting. I always keep that in the forefront, not all the other distractions around me.
I remember, as I was hovering around 40, I thought each movie would be my last, really.
Could I get a friggin' Hot Pocket around here?
One of the major issues that's constantly batted around Hollywood and the media is my industry's responsibility toward the portrayal of violence. There's the irony of the films that glorify it and the individuals taking positions against it. It's a very confusing, confounding place.
It is very important for people to understand that the United States of America and no country around the world can devalue its way to prosperity, to be competitive. It is not a viable, feasible strategy, and we will not engage in it.
We work hard when we're in the studio, but then when we take our breaks, we walk outside and look around.
I'm always using a towel around my head. Airports don't worry about me.
I don't go around regretting things that don't happen.
Well, a lot of people don't know this about me, but I'm actually shy around people I don't know. I would just say with my first concert, my first tour, I didn't really talk onstage. I was like, 'Thank you, I love you guys,' or whatever. But now I've just kind of learned to work a crowd.
Certainly, if you look at human behavior around the world, you have to admit that we can be very aggressive.
In a lot of my films, the biggest theme is family, making families out of those around you.
They see me wheeling around in a beautiful gown, and they realize you can look elegant, and you can lead a happy life in a wheelchair. I know I've helped handicapped people, because I've received many comments.
Around the time I graduated from high school, I decided better to underachieve and have friendship than to overachieve and be alone.
Or in other works I have also projected the sound in a cube of loudspeakers. The sound can move vertically and diagonally at all speeds around the public.
Let me tell you something. I'm a funny girl, and I gave birth to what? Funny. I can't help it. It just is what it is, and my kids have been around my antics so long, it kind of rubs off a little bit. So when it comes to what you see, you only see what is really manifesting in our lives at the time.
It wouldn't be right for me to clown around when I'm painting a president.
When you go onto the internet, if you really rummage around randomly then how do you hope to find something of any of value?
EA SPORTS has a strong partnership with adidas and through this relationship they approached adidas about using some of their top players from around the world.
I love to play guitar and hack around. I was in a band when I was in high school. I never learned to play very well, but I enjoyed it.
