I turned down twelve films last year... Huge money films, but I had no respect for the writer or the work.
I feel my shows are like a late-night talk show that we settle down and do every night.
We Latin women are liberated from the neck up, not the neck down.
Why, der language down dar in de far South is jus' as different from ours in Maryland, as you can think. Dey laughed when dey heard me talk, an' I could not understand 'dem, no how.
The real reason your pro tells you to keep your head down is so you can't see him laughing at you.
I remember my first job, when I was working in a retail store down there, growing up in Laurel, Mississippi. I was making, like, $2.15 an hour. And I was taught how to responsibly handle those customer interactions.
I listen to everything - from Sarah McLachlan and Alanis Morissette all the way down to rap like Scarface, UGK and Lauryn Hill.
My favorite singer is Lauryn Hill - all time, hands down. She was my biggest inspiration growing up.
There is probably an element of malice in our readiness to overestimate people - we are, as it were, laying up for ourselves the pleasure of later cutting them down to size.
My role as an artist helps me tremendously in breaking down each story. Pacing, layout, movement - having drawn a few thousand pages, I understand the language of comic books very well.
If any demonstrator ever lays down in front of my car, it'll be the last car he'll ever lay down in front of.
Lazy people tend not to take chances, but express themselves by tearing down other's work.
If you are not leaning, no one will ever let you down.
Slouching or leaning back may send the wrong signals. When you sit down for a formal interview, lean forward to show interest and active listening.
I grew up as a child living 'Red Dawn.' I was leaping out of spider holes, mowing down Russkies at the age of eight.
He was mostly leaping tall buildings in the beginning. There were cases where he would leap off a tall building or swoop down, and at that point he would look like he was flying, I suppose. It was just natural to draw him like that.
I like dialogue in novels. I wanted to avoid laying history on with a trowel - appearing to be lecturing, as opposed to the characters lecturing their children or students. Dialogue can humanise the story and make it go down somewhat more smoothly.
I want to play the game hard. I want to ram it down your throat, put you into left field when I'm going into second base.
I don't want to spend my whole life watching the sun go down behind the left field bleachers.
Hendrix was the bass player for Little Richard. We were both left-handed, but we would use a right-handed guitar held upside down and backwards. He developed my slides and my riffs. In fact he used to say, and this is documented, 'I patterned my style after Dick Dale.'
