I grew up in a little town where my family owned a newspaper and the TV station, so a lot of people knew who we were, and I never fit in.
I've never had a very closely connected family. My parents split up when I was young and I was living with my mom for a little while, then I was kind of just on my own really young. It wasn't some kind of global tragedy, it was just never really a very close-knit family. So there was support in the sense that they didn't stand in my way.

I played this character twice in live action, and now I've become an animated character. It was actually fun to see myself drawn - I've never been a drawn character before.
'Coraline' is Neil Gaiman's book, it sold a lot, it has a big fan base. It was originally conceived to be live action, but I never really wanted it to be. I always thought that it would work better as an animated film.
I've never not appeared in front of a live audience for any longer period than a month or two.
I think I'll never stop doing theater because it's a more physical and athletic activity. You can't pull any punches; there are no short cuts, and you have to be physically present and committed. I love the excitement and the response of being in front of a live audience.
Live shows were always religion for us. We never played a show - whether it was in front of 15 people or 15,000 - where it wasn't everything we had that night.
Live shows have been going on for so long, can you really do something that's never been done before?
Everything I've done I've always kind of jumped in headfirst, and it's been a learning curve. Even MuchMusic, I had never done live television before, and all of a sudden you show up, and they're like, 'You ready kid? Let's go.'
I've never been bored in live theater.
I love the rush of doing live TV - you never know what will happen next.
You never know how a horse will pull until you hook him to a heavy load.
Never take a loan against your retirement! When you pay interest against your retirement, you cost yourself interest.
Never expect a loan to a friend to be paid back if you want to keep that friend.
M.G.M. never really gave me a break. They loaned me out for leading roles but cast me in programme pictures.
We never did these kinds of loans that really started this mess, the subprime loans. We just never got into that business. We were enticed a lot of times to do so by a lot of Wall Street-type players, but I, frankly, never understood some of this stuff.
Never, since the fall of communism, has it been so abundantly clear that an ethos exists, which is loath to accept the freedoms and prosperity we hold sacred in this nation.
I have always wanted to learn the piano, but because I travel so much, I can never get any consistency of lessons. So everywhere I go, if I can find a piano, even if it is in the lobby of a hotel or something, I go on YouTube and pick some songs to learn.
My four years as governor, I never met with a lobbyist once, never. Not one lobbyist got in my office.
