I'm a big micro manager; I'm a stickler about organisation; everything needs a place, a purpose, and micro managing myself even when I'm in the studio.
I find that talking about myself is often the most boring thing in the world. Sixty per cent of interviews I find mechanical.
I'll find myself having dinner with people and someone will mention something and I will say I was in that situation once. Then I'll say, forget it, it was a scene I was in. That can get to be quite confusing.
Basically, that's why I wrote: to save my ass, to save my ass from the madhouse, from the streets, from myself.
I would quite like to do a different accent or play something so different from myself because Olivia, the character I play in this film, is similar to me.
I've been around horses, but I certainly wouldn't call myself a horseman by any means. It's a combination of being very aware of them, and not trusting them.
I don't know if I'd say I feel green, but I'm getting to know myself as an actor now in a way that I never did as a kid.
Well, I write in exile because I cannot return to my country, so I have no choice but to see myself as an exiled writer.
Thinking back about throwing myself at certain gentlemen that had no interest in me, that'll bring a blush to my face if I think about it too often.
I don't let myself get carried away by my own ideas - I abandon 19 out of 20 of them every day.
I'm an artist, and the need to get inside myself and be creative and be other people is a part of who I am. I don't imagine I'll abandon that completely.
I don't see myself as the boss. I sing and write the songs, and it would feel strange if somebody else wrote the lyrics I sang.
I actually interviewed other people about myself, and that alerted me to the fact that I had to really investigate my memories.
Perfect retention. I don't think I could do that-I've never disciplined myself to do it. I suppose a lot of it is a question of discipline. Which improvisation is not.
Picasso once remarked I do not care who it is that has or does influence me as long as it is not myself.
I realized I had been keeping people around even when deep down I knew they were bad for me. I had overridden myself.
I myself am mixed race - my mother is Korean, and my father is an American Jew - so I've always felt other.
I was the middle of five children, and we were five very opinionated siblings. That probably pushed me to learn to speak up for myself.
I'm a tech geek. Whenever I read about something new, I think to myself, How can I take this and make it black?
I got married before I found myself. People should find themselves before they get married.
I don't consider myself a star or a celebrity. I'm a simple guy who works a lot.
