Life is inherently risky. There is only one big risk you should avoid at all costs, and that is the risk of doing nothing.
Curiously, the United States is full of writers who have one big work in their life and that's all.
It's pretty rare to have CEOs or high level executives at big companies who are social activists. They tend not to be drawn to those areas of life.
I had a big part of my life in the theater in Philadelphia. Philadelphia's changed, but I love it.
I was very, very thrown by the fact that I had to make some big changes in my life in order to be myself, but under this kind of movie-star banner.
That's a big gift when people say to you that a song helped them or brought them to some place in their life where they needed to be.
I've just grown up a lot and started to encounter some of the big decisions of life in terms of what career I wanted to do and figuring out personal relationships and things.
I have a big life, a small child, I work, I do a lot of things, so I'm often playing catch-up with what's current.

Money is a very important tool to make a big difference in people's life. It is positive or negative depending on the values.
My novels are high concept. I guess big ideas interest me more than, say, the minutiae of domestic life.
And sometimes I actually start to think human life is just as cheap to corporate America as animal life, so long as there are big profits to be made.
I actually love pressure. I loved playing sport at school in front of a crowd; I love being on stage in front of a big audience. I buzz off that.
I saw a Shakespeare play when I was - I guess I was in junior high. And I just fell in love with the theater because, for me, it was a combination of big ideas and feeling.
I love the big, like, basketball sweats... and I only wear vintage T-shirts to bed, because I like the super-thin ones.
I'm a big technology individual. I love science and technology, and anything that has to do with capturing events so that they can be experienced later.
I love to play tennis. I play a lot in the summer. I'm not a big golfer; I need something a bit more intense.
Playing big, heroic characters with heart is always a lot of fun. I enjoy making movies like that, and a lot of people love to live vicariously through those characters.
I had almost three acres of land in Beverly Hills. And I had a big atrium of chickens because I love that feeling of being in the country and living from the soil.
I love the opportunity to do lots of different kinds of projects - independent films and big studio epics as well. I'd love to be able to do a mixture.
I actually love woodworking. I'm just getting into it. And I love playing guitar, I'm a big movie aficionado, and I like hiking.
