I've been in a competitive situation almost all my life. I've been having a competition with myself and trying to be the best I could be.
I consider myself really lucky and I always have done. My approach is that if I know I'm relaxed and happy, then I will do my best work.
I have always thought of comedy as an important job and medium, and so I put pressure on myself to do the best I can.
I tend to write songs critiquing myself. The best way for me to deal with stuff is to write a song about it... That's not to say all my songs are like that.
I can feel that I'm in a dream, but I can't wake myself up.
I felt a tremendous distance between myself and everything real.
I didn't view myself as attacking the boss. I viewed my boss at ESPN as the publisher and president of ESPN.
I always end up hurting myself doing something mundane. If I have to do some complicated stunt, I'm fine.
Being raised Catholic myself, I think people who are Catholic tend to carry a lot of guilt. It's almost a joke.
I think that all bodies are beautiful in millions of different ways but I get down on myself too!
There are a lot of things about fame that are not conducive to being curious. It's been important for me to cloister myself off.
I basically put myself into directors' hands and let them tell me what to do, and the more they told me what to do, the more I liked it.
A guy once told me that I sound like I'm a little ahead of myself. I can't wait to thank him at the Oscars.
If the picture speaks to me, if it tells me something about myself, then I want it. Then I have to have it.
I learnt early to have little expectation so I protected myself from ever feeling greatly disappointed.
I like to do everything myself - I'm very hands-on with my housekeeping, my children, travelling, how I do things.
I am, indeed, a king, because I know how to rule myself.
I should like to present myself to the young painters of the year 2000 with the wings of a butterfly.
I think I'm pretty politically informed, and I find myself watching Senate hearings on C-SPAN.
I immerse myself right into my character whether or not I'm relating to people live as an actor on stage or whatever.
I decide immediately if I like a person and if I do, then I'm myself, and if I don't, then I give nothing.
