Novels attempt to render human experience; that's really all they are. They are meant to convey empathy for the character.
I have no experience performing that music live in front of an audience. So that remains to be seen. I'm very excited to see what that's going to be like.
If I'm out of town and I'm in a situation where I have to be creative, it has to be hot dogs because that's my comfort food.
Even the other kids who people made fun of made fun of me. That's where I stood on the school food chain.
A food processor, or even one of those small bowls that fit on a stick blender, is a real treasure. No, that's not an overstatement.
That's the kind of musical freedom I like: jazz, rock, blues, anything. You adopt different attitudes when you play different music.
But there is a corollary to freedom and that's personal responsibility, and the real challenge is how you generate that personal responsibility without imposing it.
I'm a multidimensional person and that's the freedom of fashion: that you're able to reinvent yourself through how you dress and how you cut your hair or whatever.

I'm not ashamed to tell the truth about what happened in my family. I think that's what makes my comedy different.
Now people want what the movie was about, which is violent comedy. And that's really what The Aristocrats is based on - what will a family do out of desperation.
I'm a Southerner. We dream of having the family and the kids, and the parents want grandkids, that's all they care about, give me some grandbabies.
Motor racing is like one big family, ultimately, and when you come back to it, that's really what it feels like.
When you're a regular on your show, that's your family. When people come in and out, it doesn't mean that you don't embrace them, but they have to leave.
I don't believe in being mean to anyone. I'm a really peaceful person. That's something I get from my family.
One thing that was passed on from generation to generation in my family, over seven generations in 200 years, was never give up. That's the way we live.
