I prefer more to kind of show people different things than tell them 'oh, here's what you should believe' and, over time, you can build up a rapport with your audience.
All I know is that I have way more stuff that I want to write about than I possibly have time to.
A lot of the time nothing happens in a day.
The novel moves like all the arts. It's transforming itself all the time.
I think any football is a guy that is able to one, be able to be humble and hungry off the field, but at the same time on the football field understand what they have to get done and be a little bit ferocious.
Defensive players kind of have that two-faced kind of way of being able to be very aggressive on the football field and going out there and getting there job done. At the same time, from my own incidents and my own personality, I'm much a person that...
Nobody's perfect. Everyone slides here and there, and they have their ups and downs. When they are down, that is not the time to step all over them.
I met the Santana band when I was 14. By the time I was 15, I was a member of the band.

It takes time to really understand your body shape and it's taken me years to know what I can and can't pull off.
I would be a horrible lip-syncher. I would only ever sing live - that's why people come and see the show. It's not the easiest thing in the world to sing and dance at the same time, which is why I'm grateful to be able to do both.
I'm friends with Hank Azaria. We were on a show together 800 years ago, and we laugh every single time.
Sometimes I journal three pages, sometimes I journal thirty pages, but I'm writing all the time, and whatever's happening is happening in real time for me.
Each guy has his own space. We all end up in one of the other guy's rooms all the time. We always end up together, as far as people getting along.
I really enjoy doing sitcom television. It allows me to stay in Los Angeles and spend more time with my husband and kids.
