I must say, when I reread myself, it's the poetry I tend to look at. It's the most exciting to write, and it's over the quickest.
I never really liked poetry readings; I liked to read poetry by myself, but I liked singing, chanting my lyrics to this jazz group.
I gave up on new poetry myself 30 years ago when most of it began to read like coded messages passing between lonely aliens in a hostile world.
I'm finding that I tend to be one of those people who gets into very committed, long-term relationships, and then I really focus on that relationship and not so much myself.
There was a whole language that I could never make function for myself in relationship to painting and that was attitudes like tortured, struggle, pain.
I don't believe in an afterlife. I don't believe in a single or multiple godhead. I respect people who do, but I don't believe it myself.
'Sports Illustrated' does extremely minimal retouching. Other publications, however... phew. They do a lot; I've watched myself be Photoshopped before. It. Is. The. Worst.
I was always very independent and looked out for myself. I think that ability really helped me in later years both in sports and in theatre.
If I see someone doing a new sport, I usually like to throw myself into it, and I never look at it and think, 'That's something I can't do.'
I was always looking outside myself for strength and confidence but it comes from within. It is there all the time.
My strength as an actor is in the theater - I know that about myself. Some actors get onstage and vanish, but I'm much better there than I am on screen.
Just because my bank account hasn't swelled astronomically I don't consider myself any less of a success.
I always envisioned myself being a rapper and being in the game and having success, but you never know what it feels like or how you're going to be when you're there.
I don't want to be a strong hero who can save society. I just want to save myself.
Celebrity is seen by a huge amount of people and certainly myself for a while as the pinnacle of society, of success. It is revered almost religiously, both the institution and its quickly growing member base.
I want to clear up a few myths about myself. People have written that I was a kindergarten teacher and a former Miss Texas, and neither is true.
My problem is that I like technology, but I always have to ask myself, 'Now wait a minute, will I actually have any use for this?'
I love fashion, I'm actually a pretty talented seamstress, so I can make stuff for myself, but that's really time-consuming.
What I love the most is getting on the ice and just popping in a fabulous CD and skating - all by myself, the rink completely empty, just me and the music.
Serious and intense people, they drain you. But someone who's an idiot, like myself, they're fun. You either hate me or you love me.
It is very possible that I could have ended up on 80 acres of land by myself, and fallen in love at a distance with a gorgeous woman I could never have been with.
