He was always - I like to say of Malcolm - he was just simply electrical. Everything he did almost was dramatic, and it wasn't that he was trying to be: it was just the nature of him.
What I view life like is about energy. Everything is about energy - everything. We physically are little units of electrical energy, and we vibrate and project electromagnetic thought.
What is a soul? It's like electricity - we don't really know what it is, but it's a force that can light a room.
We appear to have form, but we are like a whirlpool. We appear to have form, but we are just whirling electrons.
My aunt Julie was a production manager, and she heard of an opening. Some show was looking for children to run around the house or whatever. I auditioned and got the part, and I showed up in all of my monstrous energy, bouncing everywhere like an electron.
I don't really like club music or hip hop or electronic music at all. I'm like an old person.
I like a lot of electronica. I like older jazz rather than newer.
We invented television and stuck with it for 50 years, and then I decided to get out of that. I would like people to know that we are broader than consumer electronics.
I like being outside and working with the elements. The elemental aspects of it. The physicality of it.
I've been told I looked like I swallowed an elephant or a pig, whichever was more fitting that day.
I was called 'Dumbo,' like the elephant, as a child because I couldn't understand things at school.
If you don't address race, then people are like, 'Why don't you talk about the elephant in the room?' But you have to do it right. It can't be gimmicky.
Women are like elephants. I like to look at 'em, but I wouldn't want to own one.
I don't know where I learned elephants like their tongues slapped. Whatever turns you on.
Animals are everywhere. Some are more romantic, like tigers and elephants and chimpanzees, and some are less romantic, like earthworms, but they are just as interesting.
Father had notions about manhood suffrage, public schools, the education and the elevation of the masses, and the gradual emancipation of the slaves, that did not suit the uncompromising views of people in places like Richmond.
I cannot switch my voice. My voice is not like an elevator going up and down.
He's not a child but he's childlike, he's not a grown up, he's not a kid, maybe he sounds like an elf on helium, we'll play with it.
So many of my characters have really crazy physicalities, so it's really fun to be able to say, like, 'I'm an elf who's the size of a dollar bill!'
Before, I was terrified on stage. I only play guitar during the acoustic songs. After a while, you can elicit certain responses from the crowd, like Elvis.
