Growing up in Kansas City, I was always neat, the teacher's pet, know-it-all type.
I had to read Plato and Kant, and at times I was overwhelmed. But I have always been fearless, and so was Hannah Arendt. She wasn't afraid to speak out when she knew her opinions would not be popular because she believed in the public discourse above all.
Kanye's the best. He really, really is. He's cool. And why we've always gotten along is because we can just sit down and talk about art.
To kids, I've always been more than just some big tough black guy. I train to be tough - I box and do karate - but underneath all that toughness is a tender man.
I always fancied someone might call me 'Red,' like Katherine Hepburn.
Subliminally, I had always wanted to act. Although I had only performed in a couple of plays, I was serious about it and was subsequently trained by people like Lee Strasberg and Elia Kazan.
I always have considered Michael Keaton to be a phenomenal actor because he navigates drama and comedy.
I've always had that knack for staying pretty even keel and the more the situation gets tense the more I see things clearly and I think that's just a knack that I've always had.
There are always highs and lows in life, but if you maintain an even keel, then you can take the right decisions.
I walk fast. Keep moving. Always be a moving target. Marilyn Monroe taught me that.
I want to be more like Pixie Lott. She works really hard but always manages to keep smiling. She never complains.
I don't want to keep talking about my upbringing because people always resort to the past and what happened when I was younger.
As a kid, I was more scared of the supernatural stuff and ghosts and goblins and the Crypt Keeper from 'Tales from the Crypt.' I was always scared he would chase me up the stairs, as a kid.
I have always been interested in finding new ways to play and have looked at handball keepers and ice hockey goal-minders. It helps me.
Even when I was a kid, I always sort of identified myself with Keith Richards and Slash more than the singers of the bands.
I will always do R. Kelly - I'm not perfect, but I'm perfectly me.
The myth of the Kennedys - and the hold - was always the hold of the renegade rich, out there on the frontier beyond accountability.
The press always compared my family to the Kennedys - so much bad luck.
I think there is always romantic tension between Lois Lane and Clark Kent.
'Superman' has always been about Lois Lane, Superman and Clark Kent and this love triangle between these three people who really are only two people.
