When I go to see people, I always kind of hope they are going to play some kind of songs I know. So you've got to know your audience. It's kind of something that is a blessing and a curse in a way. You're obligated to play some of that stuff that people know, but I don't think that's all you have to do.
As a kid, I was mischievous, necessarily, but I always wanted to do adventurous stuff.
I almost never make stuff out of cookbooks because they're either too complicated or there's an ingredient in there that I can't find.
My parents would drive us to Florida every spring in this big old, rusy Suburban, and we'd collect stuff on the beach for our aquarium back in Ohio; we had this big saltwater aquarium back in Ohio. Every time we found anything, any mollusk, my mom would bring out the guidebook and quiz us on what it was, so that stuff was built in early.
I always know exactly where my stories take place, which gives me something certain so I can use my imagination for the other stuff. I worry though, who wants to keep reading stories about Kalamazoo?
I'm not very cool. I have a really hard time meeting people and stuff.
On 'Whose Line,' we had six, seven, eight scenes per show, so everything was pretty quick. And there's a lot of games that we just got tired of, like 'Hats' and 'World's Worst' and 'Hoedown' and stuff.
I grew up a Catholic and I don't want to talk badly about the Catholic Church but there's a lot of routine stuff going on. You say the same prayers, you sit, you kneel, whatever.
In order to have the stuff of a tyrant, a certain mental derangement is necessary.
Don't get me wrong - I'm a big fan of things American - but when American people do British stuff, it's so universally dreadful.
President Obama became our first African American president, and for me, it is the stuff of which dreams are made.
My mom won't let me buy high-fashion stuff unless it's TK Maxx or a birthday occasion.
If I had to write long-form stuff with descriptions of rooms, it would be so boring for me. I like writing dialogue and jokes and situational stuff.
I often find the smaller, independent films are much more rewarding than the bigger stuff, but you do the bigger stuff because it's a business, and you've got to show your face a bit, get yourself around.
Who cares about that stuff? This is America, not Jerusalem. I'm an American. Let Harry be a Jew.
I used to have a list of things from my school buddies of what kind of art material they wanted. I'd go up to the West End of London and spend the whole day knocking stuff off.
Playing someone who has a mental illness, the responsibility to not stuff it up is really strong. You have to get it right. Not just for the people who are sufferers, but for the people who care about them - their loved ones.
I use a professional researcher in New York who does all the legwork, all that stuff which would take me days and weeks of calling, waiting for people to call back.
I'm a very spiritual person, and I believe in God and all that kind of stuff. So my perfect type of guy would be spiritually grounded, extremely respectful and funny because I love to laugh.
I am not a pop musician; I don't want to play bubble-gummy pop stuff.
In the off season, you work out for two hours a day, and then you got all this other time off. I like doing other stuff. Football obviously isn't going to last a lifetime either, so it's always cool to get in front of a camera, do commercials, and do endorsements for products that you love.
I got stuff that's going to hurt for the rest of my life.
At the time of Polaroid - and I did a couple of other commercials just before I stopped doing that stuff - at that point I was at the level where they respect you and your opinion and all that sort of thing.
A lot of stuff written about me is rubbish. I don't know where they get it from, sometimes.
I think there are so many extra benefits to running besides the health ones that come from getting your heart rate up, sweating, and all that other good stuff.
There are many great writers out there and, actually, great scripts. The problem is - and this is what I've always felt, even when I got out of school and started reading scripts - the really smart, character-driven stuff tends to be smaller films, and they just don't get made.
It's like these ideas, these characters, kind of bubble up inside me, and one day they're not there, and the next day they are there. They're alive, and they're whispering in my head and all that stuff, and I want to write about those things.
I'm not of the manor born; I've never felt entitled in that way. I just came to Hollywood to be an actor. All that lifestyle stuff is something to be managed.
The press attack people to sell more papers without thinking, but when you get famous you have to put up with this kind of stuff.
Unless you're doing a feature piece, which is going to be longer, and you have more time to get into stuff.
I keep my stuff updated all the time. Being in the security industry, I keep up to date with securities.
I love Instagram - I don't actually go on Twitter and tweet; I just connect it through my Instagram account. I think it's a good way of getting stuff out there and connecting with people.
You take stuff from different places, and sometimes you stick a line in because it rhymes, not because it makes sense.
I'm the one who's always kissing all the boys and stuff.
I'm very happy with the way I look. I wake up some morning, catch myself in the bathroom mirror, and go, 'hey girl, you're alright'. But on the other hand, I find the website stuff, and the polls, something completely removed from my own personal life. You can't take anything like that too seriously, otherwise you'd end up in the loony bin.
I found songwriting really hard at first, but after a while it was actually very easy. I wrote about everyday stuff.
