My stuff always starts with interviews. I start interviewing people, and then slowly but surely, a movie insinuates itself.
There are endless anxieties in putting a film together, and it's an enormous relief when you know it's working with an audience.
I taught my son to read with tabloids. We would sit to read the 'Weekly World News' together.
Obviously we're a consumer nation and you have the power to influence these big corporations who are running the world right now through what you chose to, or not to, purchase.
The worst beauty advice that I have ever taken has been from people who have told me that sunscreen isn't necessary. Not true!
A lot of people have no access to beauty. When I was growing up, my mother had only a few pretty things to look at.
Beauty must appeal to the senses, must provide us with immediate enjoyment, must impress us or insinuate itself into us without any effort on our part.
Denmark is a small nation of five million people, but our economy is completely dependent on our commercial fleet. Every family has some connection to it.
The Teenage Cancer Trust does incredible work supporting and caring for teenagers and young adults with cancer, and it's a cause that is really close to me and my family.
I think it's really good for a family or children to have a dog, cat, bird or whatever to grow up with.
The idea that I have to be on the same side of the fence as Dan Quayle is cruelly depressing to me, but the truth is, I believe in family values.
The thing that interests me most about family history is the gap between the things we think we know about our families and the realities.
As a bandleader, I try to pass on the same family values that I grew up with: help people, hang on to your sense of humour, be tolerant, and keep your judgments to yourself.
In January of 1995, my family and I moved to Seattle. Pearl Jam did the first of their live radio broadcasts, Monkey Wrench Radio, along with many other Seattle musicians.
I came from Canada when I was about 10 years old, and our family settled in Cleveland, Ohio.
There is no better feeling in the universe, other than being married and having a family, than standing on stage behind a piano and having 5,000 people waving at you. You cannot bottle that.
I was aware of a lot of my friends being into things I wasn't into. Like sarcasm. It had never been a part of my family - they still don't use sarcasm.
I'm from a Cuban family, so we're used to talking really loud. You come to a Cuban restaurant anywhere in Miami, and we're practically screaming at each other.
Your example should be stellar among your friends, associates, family, teachers, co-workers, and other Christians.
I think for anybody, any family, and I know there are families out there that are going through this even now, that it is the hardest thing in the world. Nobody is ever prepared for it.
I think that people with differing points of view find common ground in 'Modern Family' is very flattering, and I'm appreciative of that.
