Drag is involved with changing identities and not taking identities too seriously at all. That's why drag is such a hard sell to a network - or anyone, really - because it's up against the ego.
I might have simply settled down into an armchair literary life. I really don't know exactly why I didn't.
But I like to go to movies with my son because it's still fun; it reminds me of why I make movies.
I tried to be a goth for a while. I'd pour baby powder on my face and paint my lips black, but that didn't last long. I thought I looked cool at the time. But then you look back and wonder, 'Why did anyone let me out of the house looking like that?'
My mother and father had a terrible marriage. They celebrated their wedding anniversary one year with their friends. Why did they celebrate? Maybe because they had lasted so many years without killing each other.
Maybe I spent more time dwelling on emotions than some people, and maybe that's why I ended up writing.
You cannot run away from weakness; you must some time fight it out or perish; and if that be so, why not now, and where you stand?
They asked me why I was wearing heels, and I said, I'm trying to hide my ass. They gave me a prosthetic behind.
If you can do it then why do it?
When you can see kids smiling, that's one of the best things. That's why I did 'Narnia.'
I make it clear why I write as I do and why other poets write as they do. After hundreds of experiments I decided to go my own way in style and see what would happen.
And that's what I really love, is finding a script and fantasizing and going to a different world and kind of portraying a character that is interesting. Because other lives interest us, that's why we read magazines like 'People' and try and fascinate and drool over what other people are doing.
If you can make people understand why freedom is so important through the arts, that would be a big help.
I thought it was possible that O.J. could have done something. It crossed my mind. I was thinking about the events of everything and going, Why did I hear that? I was going, No, it can't be, and just all that stuff was adding up.
I don't know why, it's the same reason why you like some music and you don't like others. There's something about it that you like. Ultimately I don't find it's in my best interests to try and analyze it, since it's fundamentally emotional.
I'm forever learning and that's why I'm always able to create new styles and new dimensions of hip-hop.
I've gotten this advice at different times, and it distills down to one word: purpose. Why are you here? When you start to get distracted by thoughts such as 'Do I fit in? Does this person like me?' - remember why you're there and what you want to accomplish.
Why do you all push us around?
Thanks to my father, I didn't have to face the tough side of life. Probably that's why I always chose love over money.
Everyday there's something that reminds me why I love this sport.
Why don't you bring your face up here and let me punch it? Then you can tell me (if I'm stronger).
I am one of the people who love the why of things.
If the destination is heaven, why do we scramble to be first in line for hell?
Mumbai is home, so there's no comparison. But then again, New York's a lot like Mumbai, which is why I choose to live there. It's fast, crowded (in a good way), the people are friendly and it's full of color and race, like Mumbai. Unfortunately, the traffic's also just as bad.
It seems that our politicians see the world in black and white, so why not our artists? Did Woody Allen's 'Manhattan' have to be in black and white? No. But is it fantastic that it was? To see New York like that? Yes!
Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.
With the players Madden is definitely king and that's probably why it's been one of the top selling games all these years and will probably continue to be.
Just a few months ago in the Republican primary Mitt Romney said to his opponents, who he was crushing at the time, stop whining. And I think that's a good message for the Romney campaign. Instead of whining about what the Obama campaign is saying, why don't you just put the facts out there and let people decide rather than trying to hide them.
I never understood why anyone would do magazines. Like, why would someone put their face out there so much? It's because those people reading magazines will go see the movie, so you do it.
When you call yourself an Indian or a Muslim or a Christian or a European or anything else, you are being violent. Do you see why it is violent? Because you are separating yourself from the rest of mankind. When you separate yourself by belief, by nationality, by tradition, it breeds violence.
We have the Terminator as governor, and we had an actor as president, so why shouldn't we have a fashion designer as a senator?
Believe me, if anybody has a job and starts at 9, there's no reason why they can't get up at 4:30 or five and write for a couple of hours, and give their employers their second-best effort of the day - which is what I did.
Ask yourself: if that is what Jesus is all about - that is, getting us to love one another - then why did everyone reject him?
That is why I came to conclusion that the election must take place, so that the republic can have a government. If I were to say that everything will change for the better immediately, that would not be true. The struggle will continue for a long time.
Rooney, of course, he believes that he is the reason that people stick around all the way through the show. They'll put up with anything, you know, in order to get to Rooney, and that's why we're at number 16 or 14 or whatever.
While a case can be made for intelligent design, I can't figure out why some Christians are so thrilled about that possibility. First of all, it doesn't prove there's a God. If anything, intelligent design lends support to some form of pantheism that defines God as immanent within nature.
