I know a man who gave up smoking, drinking, sex, and rich food. He was healthy right up to the day he killed himself.
I am very picky about my food, and I'm very health oriented, so I always try to cook.
I've traveled all the way around the world; I've been to over 95 countries, so I love ethnic food, different types of cuisine.
Questioning the nature and implications of liminal instances necessarily involves failure, if only in the specifically technical sense of entering spaces where prevailing criteria of success scarcely apply.
I wish I could tell you me and my rock band were traveling around, strung out. No, we were a family band. Straight Partridge Family.
I guess I'm happy that I'm getting the attention. Otherwise, I'd just be playing in a local bar in front of my family members, and I'm sure they'd get sick of that in no time.
For me, Venezuela is very important, not just because it's a place I go to conduct, but because my family is there - my wife, my parents and my musical family.
People often say that having a family makes you make safer choices. It's been the total opposite for me. It's really made me want to make bolder choices.
I am always exhausted; I am always trying to find more time to be with my family, which is why they travel with me so much.
My mother was from West Bromwich; my grandfather was Pakistani. I had an aunt who started trying to trace the family tree and stopped when she saw what turned up.
I hope, what I hope the most is to be more successful as a mother than in show business, because to be a mother is the most difficult I will ever have to do.
What's so wonderful about football and business and show business is that every time I start thinking I'm special, I get knocked on my ass.
I still have to work paycheck to paycheck. Being in show business doesn't indicate that you're a 'success,' in my opinion.
I'm totally against straight marriage - even though I'm married. I don't think heterosexual marriage is any of the government's business.
Genre stuff is the most exciting stuff for an actor to play. I get to try new things, do things I would have never got the chance to do.
I got a chance to listen to and watch Thelonious Monk and his quartet play two shows a night, for six weeks. It was a great education. There was my university, man.
You can't grow if you're going to say: 'The contributions of my predecessors are greater than anything I can ever achieve.' Each generation has to have a chance to find itself.
Right afterwards there was a whole, whole lot of press to do, so the week after, all day, every day, was press so I didn't really get a chance to celebrate.
I've never been someone that's had a five-year plan, or a three-year plan. That just seems to lead to a lot of disappointment, and doesn't give you the chance to be flexible.
At about twelve I just knew, something clicked, and I knew I wanted to be an actor and my parents, to their credit, granted this 12 year old girl a chance to give it a try.
My son Cary's generation likely won't know who my father was, but it's something nice for him that his grandfather was an icon. I had one chance to pass along that name.
