Some members of the Vienna Philharmonic convinced me to try Bruckner, which I have never done before. And that was interesting to me to have this experience with this orchestra, which knows the repertoire very well, and to be confronted with this knowledge, and to learn from them.
There are men so philosophical that they can see humor in their own toothaches. But there has never lived a man so philosophical that he could see the toothache in his own humor.
The biggest way to say, philosophically, you'll never be part of a war is to look completely the opposite of anyone in a war.
Phish has never had anything to do with any trends at all in America.
I will never not take anyone's phone call.
I never go anywhere. I do sketches and make phone calls, and people visit. It's more fun to come to Paris.
Because I used to play a lot of sport, I've always been in decent enough shape. When I used to get asked to do a bit of body work before a photo shoot I'd lie and say, 'Yeah, I'm going to the gym.' I literally never did anything.
I got scouted for modeling on the street. I'm such a tomboy - still am. I just never thought about modeling before, but I thought, 'Ooh, interesting, similar world, perhaps it's a way into something.' Then, I was on my third photo shoot ever, and Adam Leech from 'Downtown Abbey' saw me reading poetry and asked me to recite some.
Never have I found the limits of the photographic potential. Every horizon, upon being reached, reveals another beckoning in the distance. Always, I am on the threshold.
I never could have achieved the success that I have without setting physical activity and health goals.
For me, changing my physical appearance for a character is never a problem. If I have to look a certain way for a role, I just do it.
I never was shy, but as far as telling jokes, I'm the worst. I like physical comedy; it's where I feel comfortable.
We don't believe that you should ever replace physical education. Even in a thousand years, a computer will never be able to do so.
I've never been one to be too careful with my diet. If I really start watching what I eat, I'm already a thin guy - I just won't have any physical strength. I think I'll disappear if I don't eat what I need to eat or what I like to eat.
Being an actress is a very physical thing. If I didn't look the way I looked, I would never have started in films.
What's been nice is that I've been able to direct from a very idealistic place. I've never had to make my living as a director, which gave me a chance to choose material I feel passionate about. The directing allows me to not have to grab any acting role that comes along. I can pick and choose a little bit.
I definitely got into a lot of fights when I was a kid. I never understood it. I was one of those quiet kids. I never picked with no one.
I don't know a lot of show runners. I mean I met a lot of them in picket lines. I'm not part of a, like, secret society or pickup basketball game. As far as I'm concerned, pick-up basketball games are secret societies. They confuse me. I've never been a networker or I've never been very social.
I never thought I'd get a chance to sing with Wilson Pickett but we did.
I'm very picky; I'm never happy with anything. It's so hard to give the record away and accept that you're done.
