I'm a parent, and I try to take care of my health and keep my life in order. In the last few years I've really had to decide what's important to me, and it seems to me that my family and my health are top on the list. And those have nothing to do with show business.
I've tried to do away with lying in my life in the last few years, but it's hard.
The last few years of my life have been a little like a long ride in a Poop de Ville with the bottom down.
There's a great documentary on Tupac called 'Resurrection' about the last few years of Tupac's life and how he transformed. And, ironically, how this East Coast rapper became this West Coast icon, back when all that Death Row/Sean Combs stuff was going on.
To do what you wanna do, to leave a mark - in a way that you think is important and lasting - that's a life well-lived.
Art and religion first; then philosophy; lastly science. That is the order of the great subjects of life, that's their order of importance.
Life's tragedy is that we get old too soon and wise too late.
I think the happiest time of my life was when I was in my late teens. I was a little bit of an it-girl. Making myself seen. And it was a wonderful time to be young.
I wanted to be a writer as a teen... so storytelling was my first love. In my late teens, design became an obsession as I realized that I could express myself through the medium. Much later, when I founded Fuseproject in 1999, our slogan became 'design brings stories to life.'
Rey's parents left her at 5, and we meet her when she's late teens or early 20s, and for someone to keep hopeful that there's a better life to come, I think, is astounding. Though she starts off alone, she very much finds her place in a group of people, and that's lovely.
No matter what his position or experience in life, there is in everyone more latent than developed ability; far more unused than used power.
Water is the key to life, but in frozen form, it is a latent force. And when it vanishes, Earth becomes Mars.
When I was younger, my goal in life was to work in special FX makeup. Liquid latex and fake blood! That was the dream!
In Latin America, people want you to write beautiful melodies and words. But there are also songs that do well because they show the reality of life.
The latitude and longitudinal lines of where you are born determine your opportunity in life, and it's not equal. We may have been created equal, but we're not born equal. It's a lot to do with luck and you have to pass that on.
In every aspect of life, including the economic dimension, we are always challenged to do the right thing. In many cases in the market system, which allows a great deal of latitude for human choice, people can get carried away to excess.
In real life, I'm a really smiley person. I smile when I talk and I laugh.
I thought my life would seem more interesting with a musical score and a laugh track.
I think I'm too cynical for L.A. My sense of humor doesn't go down well here, which probably affects my love life. I need to have a laugh track following me around so people know I'm trying to be funny.
Show business is my life. When I was a kid I sold insurance, but nobody laughed.
