I always loved Sid Caesar and all the people on his program.
One of my aims was to be paid as well as a plumber. Plumber was better-paid than any performance artist who was always doing this for free. It is so important to make a good living from art. You know, John Cage, until he was 60, he couldn't pay electricity.
I always felt caged, closed in, like I was punching at things that weren't there. I always had too much energy for the room I was in.
In Eastern Europe, the past is not only always hovering over the present, it is not even passed. It waits, like some malevolent caged beast, ready at any moment to escape and bring back all the horrors.
Yeah, I've always been accused of having a sense of mischief and I'm very flattered that you say you can see it in the roles I play, because I think that's important, even if I do play intense characters, like especially Christine Cagney.
But I've always believed that Christine Cagney shouldn't be played past a certain age.
Fish cakes are perceived as being quite British, and they're always a bit brown and a little dull.
I always told the people at Cal Arts that if they wanted me to do Jazz studies, first of all, there couldn't be a big band within 500 miles and that I could do what I wanted to do. And they said I could.
From squalls, jibes, and other sudden calamities, I learned you don't always get to decide when you've got to make a decision.
I've always felt that what I have going for me is not my imagination, because everyone has an imagination. What I have is a relentlessly controlled imagination. What looks like wild invention is actually quite carefully calculated.
What finally is beauty? Certainly nothing that can be calculated or measured. It is always something imponderable, something that lies between things.
I've never been reckless - it's always calculated. I'm mischievous, but I'm calculated.
There will always be a measure of calculated risk-taking in manufacturing fame, especially in a deeply divided political climate.
I'm always calculating what I want to do, who I want to be, what I want to accomplish. I don't need to worry about that - that's always there on a slow simmer. The muscle I have to work on is being more present.
I'm consistently blown away by 'Mad Men.' Having spent so much time in the writers' room, I'm cursed in that anytime I watch something, I'm always calculating what the writers are up to.
The results of philanthropy are always beyond calculation.
You could argue that war is always an irrational act, and yet many states enter into military conflict out of rational calculation or national interest or the stability or longevity of their regime.
I'm always crunching numbers, so my calculator watch is a must.
I was always very strong in math, physics and calculus.
When I left EastEnders, I could have earned an absolute fortune from sexy calendars, shoots for lads' mags, fitness videos and reality shows. But I always turned them down.
