My brain never turns off of songwriting. Every conversation, everything I see, I'm just kind of like a sponge and I soak it up.
I just never did buy this idea that you have to live in Los Angeles to be an actor. I didn't see that as a requirement in my job description.
I go to castings and see several black and Asian girls, then I get to the show and look around there's just me and maybe one other coloured face.
I don't know what psychotherapy does. I have been seeing the same person for 26 years now.
I know I've got the right friends because they understand when they haven't seen me for three months and then when I do see them, it's exactly as it was before.
I look at characters to see if they have some contrasts to play with; I think that's always what I'm looking for in characters: ones that have a wide range of expression.
That's why I love being a writer. My imagination can take me places I may never see except in my mind's eye.
One could see that what you are writing was that today's meeting with President Bill Clinton was going to be a disaster. Now, for the first time, I can tell you that you are a disaster.
I can see that you are a true historian because you really always ought to ask that question about anybody at a different place or a different time: What's the same and what's different?
I delight not in spreading any thing mysterious, for I consider it all lost time; but the things that all of us can see and know if we will.

People ask me if I ever see my father and I say yes, because he puts in the effort. He calls all the time to tell us he's proud of us.
A lot of my works deal with a passage, which is about time. I don't see anything that I do as a static object in space. It has to exist as a journey in time.
People see me as someone who doesn't take any crap from anyone - which I don't - but it's my shtick, and I obviously don't act like that all the time.
I simply want to take a break and catch my breath. But I also think that, sometimes, the bravest thing you can do is to deliberately keep some time free and see what the world throws at you.
I'm an online shopper, so that's what I do in my free time. A lot of online shopping, and I just like to see new styles and new people.
I think if you talk to anybody who would like to have had children... I mean, you look at families all the time and you see there is something there that you don't have.
