I come from a long line of architects. I'm the only one who did not become an architect, but I've been around the drawing aspect and construction my whole life.
I look at life, the experiences I've had, at the human condition, the dynamics between people, the news (world news), and draw from the compelling realities all around us.
I meditate. I've been a meditator since, I think I was doing it unofficially before all my life and then began to formalize it somewhere around 14.
It's a wonderful time when you sit down around the table for dinner and discuss life. No matter where you are, it gives the semblance of normalcy to my crazy world.
There's always pain around. That's one thing you can guarantee in life - there will always be a surplus of pain.
From the time that I was in high school, my life really revolved around live theater, so it almost feels genetic.
You can't just sit around and make protest albums all your life; eventually it comes to the point where you have to do something.
When I was 18 I was just absorbing everything around me: whatever happens, happens. I was so naive and willing to ride whatever wave life threw at me.
We spent most of our life almost like street rats just running around the street until we were ten years old.
The balloons only have one life and the only way of finding out whether they work is to attempt to fly around the world.
It's hard to have that debate around secret programs authorized by secret legal opinions issued by a secret court. Actually, it's impossible to have that debate.
Each day, each one of us chooses not to do many things that would be legal but offensive to those around us.
I think 'The Color Purple' is so bursting with love, the need for connection, the showing of the need for connection around the globe.
I love New York! You walk around, nobody notices you, you don't notice anybody, you're in your own little world.
Sometimes people damage paintings or sculpture because they love it. They throw their arms around a statue in a fit of hysterical passion and it falls over.
I love to go down to the schoolyard and watch all the little children jump up and down and run around yelling and screaming. They don't know I'm only using blanks.
Secular humanists can sit around and talk about their love of humanity, but it doesn't stack up against a two-millennium-old funeral high mass.
It is probably not love that makes the world go around, but rather those mutually supportive alliances through which partners recognize their dependence on each other for the achievement of shared and private goals.
I love to shop vintage clothes; in London, I usually go to Relic and Alfie's Market. I usually brunch around London Bridge, where I live.
I love the ocean; growing up around Laguna Beach, I spent my summers surfing, diving, and snorkeling.
I love mixing with comedians when I'm working with them, but when I'm not I don't feel the need to hang around with them.
