As actors, we're all encouraged to feel that each job is the last job. They plant some little electrode in your head at an early stage and you think, 'Be grateful, be grateful, be grateful.'
Some might think that George W. Bush had his shortcomings, but let me tell you something - history's going to be kind to George W. Bush.
In stand-up it really helps to play yourself and talk about your own feelings. You cannot fail to be original if you're just talking about what you think about X, Y and Z. Unless you've got a twin brother who's also a stand-up.
If you're doing something like 'Arcadia' by Tom Stoppard, which has been done millions and millions of times, and it's been played some unbelievably well-respected actors, there's a lot more pressure there. But I try not to think about all the other people who have done it before me. You've got to try and be original.
Every day after I wake up, I think, 'Wait... this can't be real; I'm still going to wake up.'
In other words, I wouldn't like to be an actor if I could only be real. I like to get wild, behaviorally wild, and it's crazy to think of any form where it's just one way.
I believe the Abominable Snowman may be real. I think there may be something in that.
Whatever your walk of life is, I think you have to be real about it.
Compared to politics, I think sports is funnier, because it's inconsequential. And politics can be real important and all that. The more pointless something is, the funnier it is, you know?
I am a big defender of 'Harry Potter,' and I think any book that gets kids to read are books that we should cherish, we should be thankful for them.
I'm here to break boundaries, man. That's all. I'm here to be the first so that the people after me don't have to think twice about expressing themselves and being free.
A little simplification would be the first step toward rational living, I think.
No one has done a study on this, as far as I can tell, but I think Facebook might be the first place where a large number of people have come out. We didn't create that - society was generally ready for that. I think this is just part of the general trend that we talked about, about society being more open, and I think that's good.
It may be true that the law cannot make a man love me, but it can keep him from lynching me, and I think that's pretty important.
I think you have to be what you are. Don't try to be somebody else. You have to be yourself at all times.
I think the worst thing a player can do is just not be yourself.
I think you just have to be yourself instead of catering your sound to a specific audience, make the music you want to make, and the audience will find you.
I think the most important thing is to be yourself and be genuine and don't try to tell anybody else's story but your own. And if it comes from a genuine place, I think people can tell, and if it doesn't, I think people can tell, and I think that eventually it shows.
I think Pebble Beach is kind of a unique place on the planet.
Colombia is not how people think it is. We used to eat fish every Sunday at the beach. In the town where I grew up, people did not tell lies.
