I'm just kind of taking a break now and enjoying the freedom of making my own choices. When you're on a television show for six years, they run your schedule.
Some people still believe you should just fall in line with what's going on - and that's scary. It makes a mockery of freedom of speech.
Most Americans take their freedom very seriously, but they don't realize that not everyone is free. The repressed are not free to do what they want. That's what 'Star-Crossed' was all about for me.
I think that the basic philosophy was very good. It was just be nice to each other, and don't step on other people's toes and infringe on their freedom.
'True Blood' is truly a playground. You get to go in and just let loose and completely just have fun and play around. There is so much freedom on set.
Especially when you are advertising a product, I talk to the photographer and we create a character - it always gives you more freedom because it makes it less about yourself.
While I'm grateful for the freedom to express one's self, I've learned there are limits to what language is appropriate and I'm deeply sorry for how these lyrics could be interpreted.
Being from Israel and a Jew is complex already, but with France, there is a freedom and a mix of culture. I have met musicians from all over the world.
I'm not a slave to the recording industry. I have the freedom to make an album that I want to make and do it the way I want.
It feels bad when a film doesn't work; everyone puts in a lot of effort to make a movie. The positive side to failure - they make me work harder.
My story of success and failure is not just about music and being famous. It's about living and loving and trying to find purpose in this crazy world.
I was so enamored with the idea of being in show business so everything was bright to me. I mean, I didn't think of it as being tough and things like that.
I'm very driven, and I always have been. So I'd like to release a successful album, continue in musical theatre, and be more involved in business.
You have to keep the business side together as well as the creative side. We have constantly surprised people and stayed with bands until they have grown on people.
In my career, people in the record business have been rockin' in the same ol' boat. They all crooks - I'll say it clear and loud - especially the big ones.
I never knew any Jews until I got into show business. I've found them to be real smart and good workers.
I am always writing; if you want to survive in this business, you need to keep working, keep creating and never stop the output.
Show business is one of those things that people can use to get themselves out of the lower rung of society.
That's my only active wish. I think if I sang like Don Henley, this would be a lot more agreeable business.
No matter how long you play rock n roll songs might change just as the balls are there, the rock balls. And that's what's important to us.
They said hey look, The Beatles deserve to be number one, not Bobby Vinton. We're gonna cut your tires. Change that listing. They were dedicated at the time.
