I wanted to sing when I was little. That's what I liked doing. It didn't occur to me that you became famous or anything like that.
Have I ever been to a party with a ton of famous people in it? Yes, several times, so I guess that's a Hollywood lifestyle.
Fame was never something I was seeking in my artistic journey. It's to be used as a tool for an artist to break open doors and keep creating. That's how I enjoyed fame in '74; it was not just for the emptiness of being famous.
Everybody wants to find their soul mate, and I'm no different. That's definitely what I want in the future.
The history of the relationship between comedy and swimming is short indeed. Of course it is always funny when someone falls into water, but that's about it.
People want me to be funny all the time. They think I'm being funny no matter what I say or do and that's not the case.
Cable is a great medium. It's something I respond to. I'm not doing sitcoms. People don't find me funny. That's just the way it is.
That's my main flaw: I always think authority figures or my boss is going to think something I do is funny. And usually they don't.
I'd love to do a comedy. I'm terrified of comedy. I don't think I'm funny, but I guess that's why it's so thrilling.
That's my only goal. Surround myself with funny people, and make sure everyone has a good time and works hard.
The funny thing is the songs that people think are about me probably aren't. And the songs that are probably are the ones they wouldn't think... so that's where it kind of is funny.
The whole point about laughter is it's like mercury: you can't catch it, you can't catch what motivates it - that's why it's funny.
All of the films I'm doing are young, urban, high-concept, funny films. That's the zone where I'd like to play and have fun in.
You can go to a play that is enjoyable because it's funny, and then on the next night you can go to a play that's enjoyable because it's 'disturbing.'
I was adopting an Ethiopian child, that's not true. My house was haunted, that wasn't true. God, there's been so many rumours.
Every test, every trial, every heartache that's been significant, I can turn it over and see how God has turned it into good no matter what.
My God, these folks don't know how to love - that's why they love so easily.
They are always saying God loves us. If that's love I'd rather have a bit of kindness.
I think we're miserable partly because we have only one god, and that's economics.
I have only been seeking to get them to the negotiating table and, thank God, that's where they are.
God is always in my life, and that's the most important thing to me.
