Obviously it's much easier to say that you're going to follow your passions when you're financially secure, but at least we can take solace in the fact that we now have the time to pursue the things that we really want to pursue because now the option of doing things just for the money isn't necessarily there.
I was doing sold-out shows before I got radio play.
It's not that there are no masters, but that there are many. And the job of the solicitor general is to balance those masters and to accommodate them all, each in their proper places, wisely and well and in so doing to represent the people of the United States.
In f(x), when I'm doing K-pop, that's cool - that's our concept. But me, as a solo artist, I'm just me. I'm gonna wear my jeans, my Jordans, and I'm just gonna be a little stupid on stage.
Now my main goal is my solo career, so I want to keep doing that.
I think that was the whole idea behind doing the solo record was to be able to do musically whatever I wanted to do.
Quest stories are about the oldest form of narrative there is, and they're also the perfect metaphor for life because we're all on a journey trying to figure out where we're going and who we are. 'Solomon Creed' is just doing it with more danger and guns involved.
I'd love to work with children. I've set up the charity, and that's going well. We've got a lot of projects we're doing in Somalia, so I'd like to see how we're doing there.
We have to go into the despair and go beyond it, by working and doing for somebody else, by using it for something else.
Whenever I do talks around the country, I map out my run. Gives me something fun to do and to look forward to doing.
Birthdays are about doing something fun and interesting.
I don't think it's that I don't like Sondheim. It's that I find it really... I don't know how to describe it. Doing it is the most extraordinary thing. Because it's like Shakespeare times 100 with singing. It's that satisfying - and that demanding.
Not comfortable doing song and dance stuff as no normal person does in his/her real life.
U2 is sort of song writing by accident really. We don't really know what we're doing and when we do, it doesn't seem to help.
There's still a lot of great songwriters out there who hand in songs. And there's a lot of brilliant singers and performers out there who sing other people's words. I enjoy doing both.
I know I'm the greatest, and like I said, I ain't here to be average. I always wanted to stick out as a sore thumb, so that's what I'm doing. It's just confidence.
I did The Sorting Hat, and it was the Gryffindor, and I was like, 'I'm not doing it again. It could be something bad.'
I'm delighted that 'The Sound of Music' is doing so well. Of course, it's an infallible piece of material. Even when second- and third-rate road companies were doing the play, they did enormous business.
I love doing film soundtracks and working with directors on how they want the scene to be portrayed on audio as opposed to visual. I like the collaborative effort of working with people.
It all started back in '69 when I worked with Jack Nitzche on 'Performance.' That was my first experience of doing soundtracks, and I've enjoyed doing them ever since.
