If you take different mythologies from different cultures, the names may change and the story lines may vary but there is always something in common.
The most frustrating thing is picking up a script and loving the roles in it except the female ones... It's really annoying and something I've striven to change in the industry.
My small experience on 'Dancing with the Stars' allowed me to slowly appreciate the Waltz and Viennese Waltz, but to see it in Vienna is something much different.
It all starts with the script: it's not worth taking myself away from my family if I don't have something I'm really passionate about.
Experience teaches you that the man who looks you straight in the eye, particularly if he adds a firm handshake, is hiding something.
The essence of life is finding something you really love and then making the daily experience worthwhile.
Writing 'Fast Life' has been an incredible experience. It's something totally different from what I am used to.
It seems to me that readers sometimes make the genesis of a poem more mysterious than it is (by that I perhaps mean, think of it as something outside their own experience).
Weakness is something we don't like to admit we have. We hold it against people, until we experience it, and then we feel more compassion for it.
If I'm going to do television, I wanted that 'North and South' experience. I wanted something that's going to challenge me on a constant basis.
My favorite job is the next one. It's such a gratifying experience getting to creatively keep trying something new and push things in a different direction.
The moment something happens to one you love, it's twenty times more intense. You experience pain and enlightenment on a much vaster scale.
Usually, cheap food is not nutritious. You're feeding people, but you're not really feeding people something that is good for them.
I love food and feel that it is something that should be enjoyed. I eat whatever I want. I just don't overeat.
It's always been something I've been searching for - freedom. It's a very relative thing. It means different things to different people.
Big and oppressive government has long been the enemy of freedom, something black Americans know all too well.
It's probably foolish to expect relationships to go on forever and to say that because something only lasts 10 years, it's a failure.
I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying.
I grew up in a football family, on the sideline. I was a waterboy. It was kinda something I was around my whole life.
I've always had bizarre, negative feelings about anything traditional, like marriage and family. I never thought something like that worked.
I have a great family by the way, but you need to find people who can pull something out from you that might be otherwise unseen.
