Most movies suck, even the independent ones. Hollywood is like baseball: Hit three good ones out of 10 and you're a Hall of Famer.
There's nothing like a good pair of heels.
Like any other actor, I want to be part of good projects.
As artists, I think that one of the good qualities we have is that we're imaginative. We're resourceful. We like challenges.
Good short-story collections, like good record albums, are almost always hit-and-miss affairs - successful if they include three or four great tracks, wildly successful if they have five. And that's as it should be.
I have a really good relationship with a lot of designers. I like Gaultier, Billionaire and Cavalli.
I look for good scripts, not anything. It should inspire me, and the audience should like it.
If the whole U.S. was like Silicon Valley, we'd be in good shape. But now, the entire U.S. is not driven by technology, is not driven by innovation.
If I find something I like, I'll chase it and see what comes out the other side. Once a song gets momentum and gets away from you, that's a good sign.
If I want to listen to myself as much as I want to listen to Drake or Beyonce, I feel like that's a good sign.
I like good stories above all else... and kickin' art really goes the final stretch to ensure a comic is good.
When Hollywood sees a good story about a man who sells confidence, they see themselves and they like it.
I was a good student and stuff like that.
This sounds geeky, but when I run, I like to listen to musicals like 'Les Miserables.' The soundtracks are 75 minutes or longer, and I keep going until the story ends, so it feels like a good workout.
You cannot teach creativity - how to become a good writer. But you can help a young writer discover within himself what kind of writer he would like to be.
Good writing is like a windowpane.
I directed the next-to-last episode of 'Parenthood.' I wrote three of the four last episodes. I had the cast to my house. Had a champagne toast with the writers. Had a huge cast and crew party. Drank eggnog in the camera truck after we wrapped the final day. All that, and I don't really feel like I've said good-bye to 'Parenthood.'
If you played basketball growing up, you learn the importance of follow-through when you shoot: forming the gooseneck, waving good-bye to the ball, reaching into the far off hoop like it's a cookie jar - think Michael Jordan's last shot as a Bull.
I never thought of myself as being handsome or good-looking or whatever. I always felt like an outsider.
Fathers like to have children good-natured, well-behaved, and comfortable, but how to put them in that desirable condition is out of their philosophy.
