I look up to Leonardo DiCaprio and Matt Damon. I'm a huge fan of their work. I also like actors who really transform themselves, like Joaquin Phoenix. And I loved Robin Williams growing up. He does comedy and drama so brilliantly.
I like playing roulette, I like dice. I grew up with gamblers.
Jamie doesn't like to do anything hastily, and I like to do everything incredibly hastily. So therein you have the dichotomy of our patterns.
I have a really feminine voice, but I also feel quite powerful when I write. So my songs feel heavy, and that's how Banks sounds. It's a really short, powerful sound. It almost sounds masculine, and I like having that dichotomy.
If Edwards gained 60 pounds and lost all his hair, he'd look like Dick Cheney!
All of us involved say 'The Dick Van Dyke Show' was the best five years of our lives. We were like otters at play.
Dick Van Dyke was my first idol. He's an amazing physical comedian, like a classic clown, but also very smart and not afraid to show vulnerability.
When you decide you want to become a television writer, you naively assume it's going to be like the writers on the old 'Dick Van Dyke Show.' You'll write something and they'll just put it on TV. But what you quickly discover is that American network television is television by committee.
Be like a duck. Calm on the surface, but always paddling like the dickens underneath.
Once you feel like you're being dictated by other people's expectations, it usually backfires.
One doesn't want one's democracy to behave like a dictatorial or fascistic police. One doesn't.
My desk is like a 'U,' so I have my computer and lots of dictionaries because I write in Spanish and I live in English.
I spoke Spanish when I was three, and then Maltese. I love dictionaries. I like foreigners. My dad moved every year before I was 14, and I learnt to like abroad. I'm not scared of change.
Greek was very much a live language, and a language still unconscious of grammar, not, like ours, dominated by definitions and trained upon dictionaries.
I'm incapable of writing without social commentary. I like to think that it's integrated and not really heavy handedly didactic.
Like I'm in San Diego today and this is my hometown so I've got a lot of my friends coming and I definitely want to put on the best show that I can.
Diets, like clothes, should be tailored to you.
The heart, like the stomach, wants a varied diet.
Although measuring omega-3 levels in the blood seems like it would be an objective and accurate indicator of fish oil intake compared to using the subjects' reported dietary intake, this test does not accurately reflect long-term dietary intake.
When it comes to dieting, I'm the kind of person that likes to be told what to do. I don't like to count points, etc. I don't want to have a lot of choices.
