I'm most proud of the longevity of my marriage, my kids, and my grandchildren. If you don't have that, you really don't have very much.
I sure lost my musical direction in Hollywood. My songs were the same conveyer belt mass production, just like most of my movies were.
My skin is hard when it comes to my music. But with my movies, I'm still a virgin in a lot of ways. I'm not used to being shot down for no reason.
They copied my product, they copied my strategies yet they failed miserably in the business, because they couldn't copy my professionalism.
As far as behind the scenes, I absolutely want to get into making my own films and producing my own things.
I do a lot of co-writing with my producer RedOne, and then a lot on my own. I just like to be creative.
My favorite part of my appearance is my height. I'm five foot one and I feel feminine being small.
My country, France, my homeland, my land is again invaded by an overpopulation of foreigners, especially Muslims.
Don't ever mistake my silence for ignorance, my calmness for acceptance, or my kindness for weakness.
Finally, my manager negotiated a deal where I got to produce my own records.
My daddy was a minister, my grandfather was a voodoo priest, my uncle was a mason; I was raised with a lot of studies.
My job is to inspire the people, to be on top of my game and push my culture forward.
I got into cars through my father. He used to work on cars. My job was to hold the light, which pretty much was the limit of my mechanical abilities.
I never look at other people's work. My mind has to be completely focused on my own illusions.
What my work is, is my approach to it. It's the practice. And my work is about the effort that I make to get there. And I think if there's anything artistic, it's in that middle space.
Due to my work as a musician, songwriter, recording artist and author, hundreds of people stream in and out of my basement studio to help me with my creative projects.
The main reason I did 'Captain America' was because I wanted to get out of my own head and stop taking my work so seriously.
Early in my career, my 3-, 5- and 9-irons performed differently than my other irons. But I adapted and made them work.
My agent was ambitious for me. But going out and chasing it? No, I'd rather work in my vegetable garden or play with my kid. I guess I'm kind of boring.
For my workout, I'm up at 4 A.M. I say my prayers, count my blessings, and I work out right away. I just get it done.
Night doesn’t fall for my eyes But my idea of the night is that it falls for my eyes. Beyond my thinking and having any thoughts The night falls concretely And the shining of stars exists like it had weight.
