Comic-Con is interesting because there's so much going on at once, it's literally impossible to do everything. You need clones and some sort of hoverboard so you can surf over the crowd of packed-in nerds.
Because a place can do many things against you, and if its your home or if it was your home at one time, you still love it. That's how it works.
There's a lot of glorification of startups and being a founder. People brush the failures under the rug, but that's the worst thing you can do. You kind of have to face it head on.
I have often wondered what it is an old building can do to you when you happen to know a little about things that went on long ago in that building.
No matter how strong you are, you cannot hold open the jaws of a great-white shark with your bare hands... that can do your brain.
With the Spirit and magnifying your call, you can do miracles for the Lord in the mission field. Without the Spirit, you will never succeed, regardless of your talent and ability.
This really should be kept secret, but you can learn a lot by watching the making-of DVDs. Every actor should do it. You figure out what you're dealing with.
I think you should be a child for as long as you can. I have been successful for 74 years being able to do that. Don't rush into adulthood, it isn't all that much fun.
But if you can find that spot - I suppose it's like running - I used to be a swimmer and swim laps, and you just have to be there with what you're doing.
You can really get poked in the back and not feel it very much, but just a feather around your lips and you really do feel it.
Some directors expect you to do everything; write, be producer, psychiatrist. Some just want you to die in a tragic accident during the shooting so they can get the insurance.
Whenever you write for someone else, you're always aware - sometimes overtly, other times at an almost cellular, subliminal level - of the rules about what you can and can't do.
Those are fun, especially if they're going to shoot them in four weeks, because you know they're not going to mess with anything you do, so it can be very imaginative.
I sometimes wonder how many of these lifetime achievement awards you can accept before you have to do the decent thing and die.
I was made to feel I could do things. If you get this feeling early and can hold it until you're 15, you tend to never lose it.
One day you will wonder what was so important that you put off doing the most important things. 'Someday' can be a thief in the night.
As an actor, there's very little you can do if people don't want to see you. Just getting yourself into the room to audition is tough.
If you do a character that resonates enough, people are always going to see you as that character. It will just be up to me to make choices where I can flex other muscles.
When you're in the middle of writing a song, you can come up with this whole web of stuff only you know how to get through. That's very entertaining for me to do that.
If you're trying to be more creative, one of the most important things you can do is increase the volume and diversity of the information to which you are exposed.
You can still have chemistry on screen without getting on with the person. But it just makes your job a lot easier if you don't have to gird your loins, if that's not quite the right phrase, every time you're going to do a scene with that person.
