My cartoon strips in college strived to have the Schulzian mix of surrealism and Charlie Brown angst. A bit of that combo shows up in 'Up.'
My make-up artist, she uses bronzer on the eyelids too. And also a little bit on the forehead to make everything look even.
Some of my favourite record and album covers and stuff have all been the singer, and they create a character, and they dress up a little bit.
I like the fact that New York looks a bit backwards, toward the Old World, rather than resolutely forwards.
You know you've made it when you've been moulded in miniature plastic. But you know what children do with Barbie dolls - it's a bit scary, actually.
I think that 'Lost' is a bit of a dinosaur in terms of the type of show it is. The economics just don't support making a show this big and complicated profitable enough for a network.
One day, I shall explode like an artillery shell and all my bits will be found on the writing table.
I directed an episode of Touched by an Angel a couple of months ago, and I will be doing more of that. I just like to keep a bit of variety going; it keeps things interesting.
Because of my job, my hair gets played with a lot on set, so I try to give it little bit of breathing space when I'm not working.
I sometimes wonder if I might be a bit of a disappointment to people, because they are expecting all these '80s hits and what they get is a dark industrial wall of noise.
The dynamic range of a digital camera is not that much greater than film, particularly if you push the ASA a little bit.
I felt very vulnerable after 'Sleeping with the Fishes'; I gained weight for the role. I felt a bit out of my skin in the movie, and it was hard to watch.
When I speak of drama, I'm really referring to just 'desperately trying not to be ordinary'. Trying to get something that has a little bit of friction, conflict, absurdity.
Our fans want us to be happy and if that means being married or having a girlfriend, they are okay with that. Of course, in this industry it is a bit harder to have normal relationships, but it is possible.
When I was 20, my mother died and I went off the rails a little bit. I kinda had my slightly dark period.
When my son was born, I decided I wasn't really into working 12 hours a day. That slowed me down a little bit.
The game is just, everybody talks about baseball, but I really think football probably has a little bit more American feeling than anything.
Ultimately, the idea of acting is to understand the people you're playing, and then where they're coming from is not so mystifying. You've got to detox a bit after, though.
You can get a bit world-weary in this job, and 'The Passion' reminded me of what a fantastic job acting is and how lucky I am to be doing it.
You get spoiled as a novelist because you get to be the director and the editor, and you play all the parts, but as a screenwriter, you are a bit down the ladder.
Having plastic surgery is pathetic. You don't look any younger; you look well for a bit until it starts going again, but it takes all the character out.
