I'd like to make time slow down.
Every time somebody calls me out or tries to start something, it's motivation.
I was in awe every time I walked on to the field.
I think that one of the motivating factors was in my last year of law school: we had a competition, and I won the competition; it was judged by several of the federal judges at the time. I got a tremendous amount of encouragement to pursue litigation...
It's true that if you advise politicians on economic policy in the U.S. today, you spend your time in a cross between inquiry and combat. You are always on the periphery of harsh partisan warfare that has nothing to do with substance.
We went through a period of time when if you were of Asian descent, you would play a terrorist or you would play, you know, like, the 7-Eleven guy or you would play that. And then really watch television now.
I'm not a collector. I toss things out all the time.
I really like working in television and I like exploring a character over a longer period of time, and I like the consistency of television.
I can see my ghost trying to get that Academy Award, forever stuck in a casting office. Can you imagine? I've spent enough time in audition rooms. I don't want to be doing that in my afterlife.
In the end, I play a lot of friends and I really think it's about time that some ethnic girls get out there in the lead part. So we're developing something.
And I can relate to that, because I went to an all white school, so I knew what that was like. And it was hard at the time, but anything that's difficult you learn from, don't you?
I've been singing since I was 8 years old and working in clubs since I was 14. I've been working full time since I was 16.
The last time I had a job that wasn't an acting job was '88, and I'm quite proud of that.
I decided I'm gonna make my living from this, or I'm not doing it. The last time I had a job that wasn't an acting job was '88, and I'm quite proud of that.
Australia is the same size as the U.S., but it's much smaller in terms of population. I've been working in the States off and on since the '80s, and the first time I played a lead here was in '91, I think.
We have for the past year and undoubtedly will be for the next year, dealing with an electorate that is more alienated and more cynical than at any point in modern time.
The endorsement of respected conservative Republican officeholders and politicians is particularly important at this time as to destroy Reagan's credibility as a loyal Republican.
But time has caught up with it and I think vindicated it. Shampoo, too: very dark, very ambitious movie.
But, uh, censorship at that time said that you just absolutely couldn't do anything involving children and so we had to go from there. I don't remember what I changed it to. Duvall is just excellent in it.
When I wrote for Jordan Knight, I was 17 or 18, they were pretty much the only songs I was writing. By the time people like Christina or Usher came around, I was able to know that I was writing for different points of view and people that might not w...
While I was with Procol Harum, the only time I'd see my guitar was either when I walked onstage or in the studio.
