When I discovered eyelash extensions, it was like the sea has parted; the sun came out. It was everything.
The novelist must look on humanity without partiality or prejudice. His sympathy, like that of the historian, must be unbounded, and untainted by sect or party.
I feel like I have to be responsible for what I'm participating in or putting out into the world.
'Shark Tank''s participatory. There's so many people on Twitter for this show, and they all feel like they're in the tank, making calls on this stuff.
I like the digressive kind of traveling, where there's not a particular, set, goal.
It's overwhelmingly in the self-interest of the United States of America to have a secure, democratic friend, a strategic partner like Israel.
As a matter of fact I don't like politics. I really don't. I think it's so jaded now and everybody has to follow the party line.
This is in us: a certain sense of denial, a certain sense of groupthink. This is not something that sits on one party line or the other. We've seen it in all permutations throughout history, and at the core of it is a certain insistence that what we want to be true is now true, and what we don't like is now false.
I always bring at least 15 to 20 percent of Tiffany to every character that I do. Like when I read 'Girls Trip,' I was like, 'Who been partying with me? Somebody been hanging out with me and done stole some stuff.'
Few if any teenagers can relate to getting up for school and finding famous comics like Pryor and Williams hanging out in your living room after a hard night of partying. But that's Hollywood.
Our universe - it's three-dimensional, but we can pretend it's two-dimensional so it's like this sheet of paper - and we live in Pasadena over here and London is over there, and it's thousands of miles from Pasadena to London.
I confess I've never felt like a passenger.
It's not like I mean to throw no-look passes. I think it kind of happens out of instinct. As I do it, I'm like, 'Dang, I didn't even mean to do that.'
I still like to get carried away - but passively.
What I think makes people nerds is just being obsessive. I think that's what nerdiness really is - its people who don't just passively like something, they get passionate about whatever they like.
I'll admit, when I look back on the past couple decades, a lot of it seems like a blur.
I don't use the harpsichord because it evokes a past time period: I use it because I like the sound.
I like to make pasta with puttanesca sauce and arugula salad.
Even when I do really big pieces, I do them strips by strips - so you have to paste, you have to involve people. It's a whole process. And I like that. For me, that's where the artwork is.
When I meet pastors, I'm not like, 'Hey, you should go out there and be a rapper.' Because for so many of us, I think it would just pull us away from our congregations too much to be able to serve them like we should.
