I can't believe how much time has passed. The first time I did stand-up I was 17, and I was really a stand-up once I was 19 in New York, and now I'm 41, and I still feel like I haven't found myself onstage.
The first time I did stand-up was the summer I was 17.
By the time I would have graduated, at 22, I was a writer and featured performer on Saturday Night Live.
The first time I did stand-up I was 17, and I was really a stand-up once I was 19 in New York, and now I'm 41, and I still feel like I haven't found myself onstage. Earlier in my career, I was really tight, really together, and knew who I was and I w...
Personally I estimate about a third of my time is spent on author events, social media and traditional publicity.
If a young person has any idealism at all, it's strongest about the time he finishes college.
I bought a house in LA, hanging out there and spending a lot of time in Toronto, but not much.
I just would like to spend more time in New York City.
I don't want to be in a position that could make me vomit, like air travel. I've purloined airsick bags and stuffed them everywhere, just in case I ever feel the need to throw up. I haven't vomited since 1977, but I think about it all the time. I rec...
I'm still a big kid - I make mistakes all time.
I've definitely been typecast, but I have time to do other things and I was glad to have the chances I did.
I look at my paintings for a very long time before letting them out of my studio. I like to get on the treadmill and look around at all of my paintings while I exercise. I try to stare them down to make them reveal their weaknesses. If they reveal we...
I don't think I had a Catherine Bach poster, but I know a lot of my friends desecrated those, big time.
I came here from Romania when I was 12 years old. I had an accent. High school was tough a little bit for a few years. I wanted to fit in. I wanted to be liked. I wanted to be good-looking. I wanted to be popular. I spent a lot of time thinking, 'Wha...
You have to pay attention to the moments when you've felt on top on the world. I remember the first time I was on stage, I was doing 'West Side Story,' I was 17 and this woman was crying because she liked what I was doing so much.
When I was starting out, when I put aside my career as an economist. I looked at every book, went to every show, did my first stories, developed my first films. A fabulous time.
By the second time I sang by myself in school, I just realized that I was more in control of my environment than I had ever been before.
Every time some spoiled European soccer millionaire complains about the blaring vuvuzelas, I want them to blare louder.
Because I did gymnastics for such a long time, it's allowed me to stay really physical, and with the krav maga and all that, I can actually do a lot of my own stunts.
Obviously the original 'Tron' was a very influential movie for its time, so to be a part of the second one is very exciting.
Any beings advanced enough to traverse interstellar distances are at least a thousand years beyond our technical level. Spending gobs of time examining our missiles is equivalent to sending the Air Force back to the Middle Ages and insisting they exa...
