I really like Septimus Heap. he is my favorite guy in the story. I should make you all read it.
You called the guy you’re supposed to rescue a nerd, and you just referenced Star Trek. You don’t find that a bit nerdy?
Working with children has done well for me. I don't find them intolerable or frustrating. They're just fun, full of energy, and happy to be there.
Kids have a weird honesty, especially in their reaction to things where a lot of older people who have matured have lost that.
We were from totally different social backgrounds. This is what is very hard for an American to understand, but we could have been five guys from Mars.
People say to me, 'Do you know who you look like?' And I say, 'I'm really tired of looking like that guy.'
When we were doing 'Sports Night' and 'West Wing' at the same time, I thought I was the luckiest guy in the world because my two interests were politics and sports.
Things haven't changed since I was a young kid. I just wanted to be the fastest guy I could be, and I am still chasing that dream to this day.
I still get nervous on dates. I'll be sitting at dinner with a guy and I have to excuse myself and go to the bathroom because I can't breathe.
There's a guy at the record company who's 30, and he says, I would not listen to these songs except in this context. Somehow the recording process, the arrangements, make it more accessible.
I went to a boys' school, and I didn't realize that most guys join bands because they wanted to get girls. I was not really focused on that the way everybody else was.
I don't know why I write really depressing songs. I'm a kind of melancholy guy, I suppose. But I figure I'm about normal.
The pen is mightier than the sword unless it's a real sword in which case the guy with the pen should run away fast.
When I started studying tenor saxophone as a kid in Belfast, I did so with a guy named George Cassidy, who was also a big inspiration.
The guys in Kiss use some make up too so at first it was exiting. I've almost stopped using make-up nowadays.
I can't fight. I was once run over by a car with a flat tire, being pushed by two guys.
I guess they often cast me as the bad guy, because I'm not, er, conventional looking. I look sort of violent. I'm the odd one out, the outsider.
I never threw the spitter, well maybe once or twice when I really needed to get a guy out real bad.
I wasn't naturally gifted in terms of size and speed; everything I did in hockey I worked for, and that's the way I'll be as a coach.
I get a feeling about where a teammate is going to be. A lot of times, I can turn and pass without even looking.
I'm not a computer guy. I'm like an anthropologist. I'm fascinated with people's obsessions. I've learned to wear them.
