I have a lot of experience in the studio, performing onstage, talking to an audience. I learned most of that stuff when I was performing with my mom.
I can't imagine a more profoundly exciting experience than I had working on 'Avatar.' And whether I'm ever part of it again, I'll always be very proud that I was a part of it.
There's always something more to be accomplished with a character. Theater is a human experience. There's nothing shellacked or finished off about it. I guess that's why it always draws me back.
If I stay alert, then I can challenge myself, and by challenging myself, that helps me to stay alive and to hopefully take something away from the experience.
I studied Shakespeare all through high school. Both of my parents teach English and history, so it has always been around my experience as a young man.
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 can't negate the theory that the Huxtables on 'The Cosby Show' may have helped pave the way for the Obama family. People enjoyed watching that black family.
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.
I've managed to dodge the curse. Not all my family have. Of course, music helped me - music is all about civilization, about something worthwhile. It's all about ideas.
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.
