At the end of the day, even if my part is a bit goofy, the key thing is that I'm doing what I love to do, and that's to make people laugh.
And, I believe that one of the most loving things you can do is prepare a meal for someone you love. None of which I know how to do!
Picture yourself in your minds eye as having already achieved this goal. See yourself doing the things you'll be doing when you've reached your goal.
The last thing in the world my parents would want to do is get on a stage or do a movie. They would probably rather die. But they let me be who I was, and they supported me.
With the first album, I wanted to do so many different things, and I was fighting with myself to try and see if I was worthy enough to do it.
I always wanted to act, but I never thought it would be my profession. I thought that I'd end up doing other things, but that in the meantime I'd do plays.
Do you wait for things to happen, or do you make them happen yourself? I believe in writing your own story.
I try and make all my songs sound different from each other while doing it in a way that's still me. It's a tricky thing to do.
No matter how small and unimportant what we are doing may seem, if we do it well, it may soon become the step that will lead us to better things.
You care about the deficit because it allows you to do things you need to do to help people who are suffering.
To do the same thing over and over again is not only boredom: it is to be controlled by rather than to control what you do.
Other kids would sneak out of the house to go to parties and do untoward things. I was sneaking out to do standup downtown. It paid off.
My parents weren't stereotypical and pressuring me to go to college. They mentioned it a lot and constantly, but it wasn't a do or die thing, like, 'You have to do this or you're done.'
I remember when I was a kid, with the acting thing, I resented it because, you know, you don't want to do what your parents want you to do.
If you do not like how things are going, think in new ways, create new solutions and do not even think about giving up!
Everybody thinks if you do one thing, you can't do something else. So I like the fact that I can be versatile if I want to.
I think one of the reasons I've been successful is that I can see things before other people do. I've always been able to do it.
The way they do things in the U.S., if you have a show, you'll option your actors for five, six or seven seasons. In the U.K., we just don't have the financing to be able to do that.
It's always a dream to be on the cover, it's one of the things an athlete always aspires to do, to be on the cover of a videogame, but I never thought I would get to do it this quick.
We do not see things as they are, nor do we even see them as we are, but only as we believe our story to have been.
The creative part of your brain needs to be stimulated. Sometimes you get blocked in the thing you do, because there's so much pressure to do it.
