My home in Dallas is wonderful. I can walk everywhere. It's a pretty good hidden secret, Dallas. There are wonderful restaurants and a wonderful nightlife. It's just a beautiful city to be in.
I was pretty ambitious as a child to want to be a star with the talent I had, but I want to finish what I started and bring the fans along with me.
I have a lot of influences. I'm American-schooled. I'm classically trained. I'm a pretty universal student, if you will. I have a lot of degrees, which really don't pay the rent. I have two doctorate degrees, I have a bachelor's degree, but I'm still a cook.
Honestly, I grew up in pretty modest circumstances. We were a middle-class family.
But I think the majority of cows, and even more so chickens and pigs, are leading pretty miserable lives.
I've always been pretty ravenous about pop culture, highbrow and lowbrow.
We didn't even think about it, you know? I used to collect laser discs, and you'd have some college professor analyzing It's a Wonderful Life or Citizen Kane, and now it is pretty funny - the idea of commentary for a silly kid's movie, you know?
My cow is not pretty, but it is pretty to me.
I recognize that I had a good deal of good luck in my life. I came along at a time when it was pretty easy to get a job in journalism. I went to work at CBS News when I was about 22, and within a year or so was reporting on the air.
This is what you work for, putting all the other crap that you hear aside. Just being able to participate in a World Series is pretty much everything. But you do want to win!
I think I have an inner confidence that my tastes are pretty simple, that what I find funny finds a wide audience. I'm not particularly intellectual or clever or minority-focused in my creative instincts. And I'm certainly not aware of suppressing more sophisticated ambitions.
I'm supposed to be a pretty good theater actor.
An injured Zlatan is a pretty serious thing for any team.
The increasing segregation we have in our country geographically and culturally has led to these pretty monolithic views of different classes of people, and because of that, we've lost a certain amount of cultural cohesion.
I would say I stay pretty calm. Don't let the game get too fast on me. I try to keep my emotions in check, I guess, so I don't show that anything fazes me out there. And I try to take it one pitch at a time.
Let us leave pretty women to men devoid of imagination.
It seems to me that one thing people do over and over again is try to figure out how to get married, stay married, fall in love, how to rekindle all this stuff. It seems to me to be a pretty eternal theme so I don't know if you can get typecast from making movies about men relating to women. It seems to be what is going on on the planet a lot.
The Social Security trust fund is in pretty good shape today and we should not embark upon risky, dangerous schemes which will, in fact, undermine Social Security, such as privatization.
I mean, movies are like your kids or your fingers and toes or something, it's pretty hard to pick favorites.
My skin is pretty low-maintenance, but I'm a big sunscreen wearer, which I think is the big thing when it comes to wrinkles, right?
Every emotion that I had over the last three years pretty much had to be put on hold.
I've got a pretty good appetite right now.
I was a pretty good fighter. But it was the writers who made me great.
Apple makes beautiful products. I own a Mac Pro, a Mac Book, a Mac Mini, an iPad, an iPhone, pretty much the entire collection.
When you're 14, anything with a sword and a dragon is pretty cool. But when you're 21 and you've read 2,000 fantasy novels, you start to realize that some of those books, well, they weren't really good. OK, let's be honest. A lot of them were crap.
I feel like my life is pretty much on display. So much of it is working, and that's really all I want to do. I'm an open book.
The simple fact is that what you see on the screen is pretty much real.
My perfect girl would be pretty mad, but one you can have a conversation with. No one can be too mad for me, the madder the better. I love a crazy chick!
Lots of pretty faces came and went over the years, but some stuck around and I happen to be one of them.
I've always stayed pretty fit. I felt I needed to give myself energy by exercising and things like that.
You can get through your whole day only around people who will tell you that you're wonderful. But pretty soon they're going to have to be lying about that.
Anyway, I lived on the streets and did pretty good until I got caught stealing, what was it? I kicked in a restaurant window, went in and took all the food that I wanted, and while coming out I was grabbed.
When you're on stage, the real world just drops away for that time. It's pretty intense.
I know how to put it on when it comes to interviews and performing because I have to. But I'm pretty laid back.
Learning what you don't want to do is pretty valuable, it may be as valuable as figuring out what it is you do want to do.
Once I grew from 6'1' to about 6'6', by that time I was going into 12th grade, and that's when I started wanting to play basketball, because, pretty much basketball players always got the girl.
