I've had a very laughable career and what has seen me through is my sense of humor.
Kindness and a generous spirit go a long way. And a sense of humor. It's like medicine - very healing.
As far as humor goes, I've always been a very insecure person and I've always wanted to be liked.
Each brain is exposed to different circumstances. It's very likely that your brain is unique in the history of the universe.
Very few opera singers in history have been able to cross into popular music.
The world is governed by very different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes.
The thing about imagination is that by the very act of putting it down, there must be some truth in one's own imagination.
The prize seemed to change my professional life very little.
I'm not very technically minded. I mean, I don't know how to do e-mail on computers.
Computers are very expensive and they need power, and that can be a problem in Africa.
Computers are very powerful tools, but in the simulated world of the computer, everything has to be calculated.
Being a pedestrian again is very exciting because in L.A. you live in your car, and you're on a freeway all the time.
If I leave my phone in the car and go to dinner or something for a few hours, I'm very proud of myself.
My dad had a personal style which was very attractive. It was quite reserved and quite elegant, and it was infectious.
The place of the father in the modern suburban family is a very small one, particularly if he plays golf.
When my dad died, I developed a nervous habit. He was very shy and quiet, and I was like him.
I'm probably going to get in trouble for this but 'American Dad' is one of my favourite shows. It gets very dark in places but the jokes are there.
I love my dad and we have a very good relationship now.
Organ donation is very personal to me. My mother, before her death, was on kidney dialysis for several years.
On the fortieth day after his death, we held the ceremony, and I performed for the very first time.
I have my very own Oscar now to be with me until death us do part.
