Although I've said a million times that I'm not a horror writer, I do like horror.
If it weren't for baseball, many kids wouldn't know what a millionaire looked like.
What I've learned is that the audience is constantly rotating. Just because it feels like I've said it, there are millions and millions of people that have still never heard of it.
In a company like Gucci, you can lose millions and millions in a second.
You have two years to make a record and do what you like to it; then, you have 10 minutes to do an interview that could mess it all up. It's the Crispian Mills Syndrome.
The only ones who like Milton Berle are his mother - and the public.
I think for a guy like me, low-profile guy, it's better being in Milwaukee.
Dance is in the air, pirouettes, very difficult. Mime is on the floor, like Spanish dancing perhaps, and very often in slow motion.
My voice went recently, never happened before, off like a tap. I had to sit in silence for nine days, chalkboard around my neck. Like an old-school mime. Like a kid in the naughty corner. Like a Victorian mute.
I always loved to dance and move. I probably should have been a mime or something like that.
A lot of our communication has now become digital, and it does not mimic the natural way we have evolved to communicate with each other, so it's almost like we have this muscle, these social-emotional skills, and they're atrophying, right?
I like to mimic accents. I don't even know if that's a talent. That's just a weird thing that I do.
I donβt like mimicking people. I donβt like repeating talking points. I donβt like arguing with people just to argue. I like actually coming up with an interesting thing to say that I donβt think has been said before in that way.
There are three types of biomimicry - one is copying form and shape, another is copying a process, like photosynthesis in a leaf, and the third is mimicking at an ecosystem's level, like building a nature-inspired city.
In general in New York, we all eat like kings. Insane quality, mind-blowing variety, at all price ranges.
To go from a small wrestling dojo to the Performance Center was just mind-blowing. The sheer scale - I didn't think anything like that could possibly exist.
When I won the Oscar, I fell into that mind-set that this is a precious role. People everywhere were shouting, 'Show me the money!' I just didn't want anything that could parody the fact that I was like a tagline in a movie. So when Steven Spielberg offered me 'Amistad,' I said no; when 'Hotel Rwanda' came along, I said no.
I have the mind-set that a guard can't stick me. So I watch the bigs and see how they like to play. If you're a shot blocker, then I jump into you. If you take charges, then I pull up for the midrange.
I feel like everything needs to be stylised; that's always been my mindset.
I used to be the chief guest in all the prize distribution ceremonies of shooting competitions. I tried my hand on a lot of guns, and my aim improved. I started hitting tiny targets, like a mineral bottle cap.
