I meditate and I also think about meditation. Which is funny. I think about Maharishi, about just the idea of meditating. It gives me something.
I like the idea of being out there regularly with an audience and with a funny gang of people. That's what I grew up with - doing television, doing shows every week.
People don't want to listen to a celebrity tweeting about their charities and shows. That's why comedy writers do well - we put out little funny ideas.
I have too much respect for the idea of God to make it responsible for such an absurd world.
Most women seem to be required to pit themselves against men in dramatic situations, and the men got to pit themselves against ideas or God.
A lot of people reject the idea of God as Father if they've had a competitive relationship with their own father.
I think God's wrath and purgatory are the only things keeping me on the straight and narrow. I like the idea of purgatory. It's like a cosmic do-over.
Brand is not a product, that's for sure; it's not one item. It's an idea, it's a theory, it's a meaning, it's how you carry yourself. It's aspirational, it's inspirational.

You jot down ideas, memories, whatever, concerning your real life that somehow parallels the character you're playing, and you incorporate that in your scene work.
Even Charles Darwin, that human decoder ring of bizarre behavior, found the idea of saving a stranger's life to be a total head-scratcher.
I don't ever want to lose that mind-set where you've got to be able to realize different ideas-slash-fantasies-slash-possibilities in your life.
My idea at this time, which was slowly developing, was to create a comedie humaine with little people, average people - samples from every period in American life.
We're not keen on the idea of the story sharing its valence with the reader. But the reader's own life 'outside' the story changes the story.
The idea that you've been friends for your whole life and then suddenly the other person becomes your job - it would be so weird. It would be hard not to become massively resentful.
I want to get a farm where I am going to live for the rest of my life. I like the idea of a secluded place.
I champion the idea of being more conscious. I call it being an active architect of your own life. Building your life like an architect builds a structure.
