Every actor has to deal with what's on his plate, and I try to deal with doing the best work possible with the most challenging scripts. I don't base it on whether it's a feature film or a TV-movie or cable.
When my plans to become a world-famous rockstar didn't pan out, I decided to try being a lesbian instead, didn't pull that off either, and wrote my second book, the national bestseller, 'The Straight Girl's Guide To Sleeping With Chicks.'
I pray and try every day to be a better actor.
Get to the point where the songs sum it all up, and creatively, I'm just like, 'This is it.' I've also learned how to be patient and not really try to overproduce anymore. I used to add instruments, keep adding instruments, but nowadays - I know better now. I know how to let the track breathe.
So, my big brother was playing guitar and I figured I'd try it too.
I'm not a big guy that watches technique from my opponents. I try to do what I do best and hope that my stuff is better than their best stuff.
In general, I try to eat food without added hormones and pesticides, but I'm not so strict that I won't have a Big Mac once in a while.
I think anybody that is going to stand with Nick Diaz and try to throw down, that is a big mistake.
I would definitely say that I am a very big movie musical fan in general, and I try to see every one that I possibly can - and 'Glee' every week.
I try not to see Woody Harrelson because he has become this big movie star, and it grates, so I try and stay away from him.
I'd like to be the role model to teach other people who have Down's syndrome to be actors and actresses and to be themselves and not try to be a big shot.
I think the biggest influence on my stand-up would be Chris Rock, in that I love that Chris is basically an essayist, in that heβll take a subject and just try and attack it from as many different angles as he can.
I like Biggie. Like 'Pac, he was one of the best rappers in the business. Why would I try to do something to him?
I try to get away and take my motorcycle on a ride whenever I can. I'll take my bike out before the show and just cruise.
The job of the president of the United States is to talk to the public, is to explain to them. Now, some presidents talk too much, like Bill Clinton. Some presidents try to talk but don't know how, like George Bush senior.
I never wanted to be on any billionaires list. I never define myself by net worth. I always try to define myself by my values.
One thing you have got to do politically is to identify the ties that bind society together and try to strengthen them.
There are a lot of actors who try to get records made and try to make record deals, and everybody goes, 'Ugh.' It used to be expected in the entertainment business. I mean look at Sinatra, Bing Crosby. All these guys started out as singers.
They came out over the highway and they stopped and that's when Barney got out, with the binoculars to try and identify the craft. I mean, he'd been in the military in World War Two, he's puzzled.
I try to show the public that chemistry, biology, physics, astrophysics is life. It is not some separate subject that you have to be pulled into a corner to be taught about.
