I was brought up to do my duty. Not to be vain, not to shout from the rooftops about my virtues - to be modest and well-behaved. I'm totally wrong for show business.
Even within the last three or four years, I have a greater ability to communicate, I think. I have more courage to show the stuff... And it does take courage.
I got a chance to listen to and watch Thelonious Monk and his quartet play two shows a night, for six weeks. It was a great education. There was my university, man.
I don't think a show's ever changed networks in the middle of the season before, but it was cool because they gave us those extra couple years of life that was necessary to get us to syndication.
I used the name Diplo at one show when I was really young, and it just stuck. I never meant to keep it. But it's kinda cool.
I have been recognized from 'Mad Men,' and it's so cool when that happens because I am so proud to be a part of the show.
I'm feeling very lucky to be on 'GH.' It's kind of cool to be part of the fight to keep the show on the air. I hope I can help contribute to that.
Why be boring? Have some fun. Rock shows should be like movies: I don't go to a movie hoping it'll change my life.
I believe that 99 percent of successful TV shows change an immense amount from the pilot to the tenth or twelfth episode.
But it is true that some magazines have a policy to show only a certain amount of black girls on their covers. Naomi is right. It's not fair, and I wish it would change.
I'm not here to change the music world, but I'm definitely here to show what I can do and express myself through my music.
Research clearly shows us that the earlier women think about maintaining their bone mass and take the steps to do so, the better their health will be in the long run.
The decisions that Ellen made on her show were between her and her producers. I supported her decisions. I was there to hug her when she got home.
My favorite show is America's Funniest Home Videos. People will get hit on the head and I feel bad cause I'm laughing my head off!
There's such a fan base for 'Dark Shadows'. I remember watching the show as a kid, but I wasn't an ardent fan. I didn't run home from school to watch it.
With the theatre, your whole day is geared towards the evening's show, and that's the job. People usually go to work about 9 and come home around 5, or maybe 7.
When I had my television show, 'Barbara Mandrell and the Mandrell Sisters,' it was my high hope to convert people to country music. It is wonderful and contagious!
I think if you show up and you work hard and you're straightforward, you can always create your own opportunities. I hope I'm right.
I really feel confident about my dancing now, so I hope there could be a place for me in the West End or on Broadway - maybe a musical, maybe my own show.
I watch way too much television and like a lot of shows, so I'm always excited to meet those people and hope they're not douchey.
I'm very proud of Space 1999. Its success paved the way for other sci-fi shows to follow. My hope is that the DVD release will help it reach a new generation of fans.
