I've been studying on my own. I'm not really trained. I went to school for about a year and a half. I never really studied music, but, I mean, I did. I studied for two years, maybe.
When I'm playing with the band or playing with some projects or some of my own stuff it's about the musical approach. That would be the more turntablist approach to things of where it's strictly about music.
We don't really talk about music that much, to be honest with you. It's not some I usually - I can't really talk about other people's tracks never mind my own.
I was very pleased to find that once I had records out music videos were starting to happen, so I directed some of my own music videos and got to experiment in other areas of expression.
Since I was a kid, music was what I wanted to do. I thought I could make it by my own talents. That's what I wanted to prove.
Even the pre-schoolers are like, 'I watch you on The Jonas Brothers.' And my own kids. I have been in the greatest movies, even some for kids, and they were never impressed until I did 'Jonas L.A.'
I suppose when I was a kid, and I went to movies, and later went to some plays on my own when I got a little older, in New Orleans, where I was living then, I zeroed in on the actor.
Solomon Vandy: I understand White people want our diamonds, yes. But how can my own people do this to each other?
Riggan: I wasn't even present in my own life, and now I don't have it, and I'm never going to have it.
Edward Cole: I want my own room. Thomas: You run hospitals, not health spas. Two beds to a room, no exceptions.
Santa Claus: What would you like for Christmas? Little girl on his lap: My own credit card.
In one book, CACHALOT, just for my own amusement, every character is based directly on someone I have known.
At 'SNL,' I wrote political stuff, but I never felt the show should have an axe to grind. But when I left in '95, I could let my own beliefs out.
My own habit had always been to write about the things that ticked me off in a given day. If I kept a journal at all, I kept it to vent.
I prefer that for my own satisfaction over radio, there's no audience. TV, there's no audience. I need the response of the audience, even if it's a silent response.
I am not free while any woman is unfree, even when her shackles are very different from my own.
I despise my own hypersensitiveness, which requires so much reassurance. It is certainly abnormal to crave so much to be loved and understood.
Our Father Who Art in Heaven gathered more meaning for me as my own father joined the Maker when I was still in school.
If I do a certain number of ads, I have to do a personal project in between, just for my own sanity. I still consider myself a punk-rock kid.
I take a lot of ladies' vitamins, because I never buy my own and that's what's in the house. More iron.
I don't want to promote my own image either. I don't like going on television or mixing in literary circles.
