I try not to invest time in what other people think of me.
I love acting and will take all the time to continue to act. But sometimes I'd like to try my hand at directing.
I thought theater people wouldn't see me if I hadn't trained. I didn't want to just be the Brideshead guy, to spend the rest of my life wearing waistcoats. I got the chance to try everything. Not just Romeos, but pimps and grandfathers and even one role as a woman in a Naomi Wallace play called Slaughter City.
But you know, if you live an affluent lifestyle, there are all types of trappings that are there that you have to be cognizant of, and you've got to try and communicate freely and gain understanding about and then keep moving on, because you know, sometimes lifestyles are chosen for us as opposed to us choosing them.
I always try to approach character first and foremost viscerally.
I'm working harder than ever now, and I'm putting on my pants the same as I always have. I just get up every day and try to do a little better than the day before, and that is to run a great restaurant with great food, great wine, and great service. That's my philosophy.
I have had so many great moments, but I would have to say that dancing the Swan in 'Swan Lake' was such a unique and passionate experience for me. It was such bloody hard work, even at that very early age, that I would not want to try to replicate it again now.
Until now, I've not done a project where the produce, rapper and singer has never worked together like this before, and I had a chance to try a variety of styles.
Once people start making comparisons to a player of the past, they want you to be that player. I try to go out there and create my own image, my own style, my own type of game. Right now I can't even think of one guy I've been compared to.
If you try to create something that everybody can relate to, you're gonna make something that nobody can relate to.
I never talk about my wife: we're both in public professions but we try to keep our private life private.
It's always special when you're young and you have a vision for something you want to do, and somebody takes a moment to connect with you. Now if there are kids on the set I try to talk to them for a bit.
I sort of try to write everything for me. I'm a huge sports fan but have no interest in minutiae. I don't remember who won Super Bowls five years ago or listen to sports talk radio. I'm trying to make sure the jokes are self-contained so they're accessible to everyone.
Any time you're a poster child for the CIA, there are a lot of people that are - either have ideological or they are mentally unbalanced - that are going to try to find you and perhaps cause you harm.
Now, I don't actually know the exact cut-off age where beautiful ceases and 'must have-once-been-beautiful' begins. It's true it's not forty-five. I can still get attention when I try really hard, even if it's greatly reduced.
It's just a campy blast. I just want to do as little as I can and make it good, and try not to sell out. I'm sure I will, but I'm just trying to postpone it.
Try to guess my answer to that question, however temptingly you pose it.
I have a tendency toward the pleasures of the flesh. It's a battle for me, as far as weight and things like that. But I'm curbing them because I want to continue to do comedy, and the two don't mix. So I try to fight those demons.
I love to act, and I try to be challenged by what I do.
We try to be as much involved in our product as possible, because then it's us.
I think most of us sense that it is a responsibility of the humanities to try to help better the conduct of human beings in their lives and manifold professional activities.
I like real instruments, and try to stay from anything that sounds too synthetic.
I enjoyed the crew. The best part about 'The X-Files' has been the crew. This crew is an exceptional family and to go to work with a bunch of people that you really like is great. They're all the best of the best and they really try to do the best job they can. I'll miss that.
You only live once, so I try to say yes to everything.
Probably the most visible example of unintended consequences, is what happens every time humans try to change the natural ecology of a place.
People ask what are my intentions with my films - my aims. It is a difficult and dangerous question, and I usually give an evasive answer: I try to tell the truth about the human condition, the truth as I see it. This answer seems to satisfy everyone, but it is not quite correct.
I try to dig deep into my soul to figure out something positive in the pain. I think I go to certain places when I play to heal.
It's not my job to try and alter the director's style - he's in charge, and I'll always give him my trust.
I try to be the best and give the maximum so that people can say I'm among the top players.
I try to treat all the money I'm making like it's the last time I'm going to make it.
When you look at the calculation, it's amazing that every time you try to prove or disprove time travel, you've pushed Einstein's theory to the very limits where quantum effects must dominate. That's telling us that you really need a theory of everything to resolve this question. And the only candidate is string theory.
You can have nothing and be sad, or you can have nothing and be, like, positive and look at it in a good way and try to make your circumstance better.
Obviously those who burn to be professional jesters mean that they want to be successful comedians. And those are always an elite, microscopic portion of the population. But oh, how they try.
And in a marriage you can't TRY and be married. You're married or you're not married... as far as I'm concerned.
I always try to act as though there is a little boy or a little girl around, and I try never to do anything that would give them a bad example.
I mean, you work and you try and find the work that suits you the best and you enjoy the most.
