But I'm just having fun playing and giving Botox injections to the older songs.
I'm fully aware that things that resonate and become real hits are the exception to the rule, so much so that I've wired myself for failure.
I'm thankful to be breathing, on this side of the grass. Whatever comes, comes.
My whole mantra is, "Go big or go home. " I don't want to just play a guy who dresses up. I want to play the person who threw down.
I've always felt there were aspects of me that were monstrous, and you can either hide from it or confront it, embrace it and understand that those are aspects that make you unique and define you and motivate you. You can either overwhelm or overcompensate for them -- but they truly define you as a human being. . . So that life became a question of either dealing with this monstrousness in one way or another. . . One finds a way to understand and make friends with that monster and understand that that's the very thing that makes you who you are. That's your emotional and spiritual fingerprint.
The approach to acting is always the same, you try to figure who the guy is and then you try to transition your way into his way of thinking and moving through the world. The rest of it is just accoutrements, you don't play the makeup, you play the guy. If you're not wearing makeup, you just play the guy.
I love great animation.
I'm really nostalgic for Malibu area because I've spent so much time there. People don't think of California as having a history.
There are a lot of guys who have terrible throwing motions-worse than mine. But they still get the ball downfield. That's all that matters.
High birth is a thing which I never knew any one to disparage except those who had it not; and I never knew any one to make a boast of it who had anything else to be proud of.
When I meet a new person, I am on the lookout for signs of what he or she is loyal to. It is a preliminary clue to the sense of belonging, and hence of his or her humanity.
