I always wanted to write when I was a kid; it just never occurred to me that you could have a job that didn't involve any actual work. . . . I felt it would be fun to have a job like that where you could make stuff up and be irresponsible and get paid for it.
If it's not fun, you are not doing it right.
I'm not really much of a genre guy. I think that audiences don't need that anymore where you just need a very specific genre. Audiences are very sophisticated, and as long as it's fun, it's okay and entertaining.
It's no fun to protest on an empty stomach.
Marvin Gaye was a killer drummer. I think he just played during the soundchecks and he'd have another guy sing his parts while he played the drums. He just wanted to play the drums and have some fun.
It's kind of fun when you're playing characters that aren't quite on the up and up and people still like you.
As the writer you are the puppet-master and can control everything. Believe me, that is a whole lot of fun because it ain't something that's going to be happening very often in real life!
I really like to think of each record as its own thing. So, for sure, but I hate the idea of being stuck in anything. Like I want to do a Hawkwind-style record too, or a noise rock record or a hardcore record. Why not, you know? I would just not want to keep heading too far in one direction, without pulling off and going the other way. That is what is fun for me.
I realized that the people weren't just characters but they were people and they were getting to do something that was so fun and I wanted to be a part of it.
We auditioned a lot of great drummers; every one of them was world class. We had a lot of fun playing with each of them and had some great jams. With Mike [Mangini] it was just something really special about what was going on.
Vaclav Havel had this great sense of humor. And you kind of felt that he was making a little bit fun of everything at the same time.
Sex is the greatest driving force on this planet. Christ, why are we living if we can't have a little fun? Sex is giving, and the more you give, the better lover you are.
Zia turned toward us, her expression grim. “I will show you to your quarters. In the morning, your testing begins. We will see what magic you know, and how you know it. ” I wasn’t sure what she meant by that, but I exchanged an uneasy look with Sadie. “Sounds fun,” Sadie ventured. “And it we fail this test?” Zia regarded her coldly. “This is not the sort of test you fail, Sadie Kane. You pass or you die.
I had fun last night," I told Patch, flicking off my chin strap and handing over my helmet. "I'm officially on love with your sheets. " "That the only thing you're in love with?" "Nope. Your mattress, too. " Some smile crept into Patch's eyes. "My bed's an open invitation.
If you spend your whole life being careful not to break anything, you'll get terribly bored, you know. . . I can't think of anything more fun than being impulsive!
Why there aren't people out there willing to have fun playing rock 'n' roll. I just don't get it.
I should have my own show by now. Yeah. How many damn sitcoms does Kelsey Grammer need? How many more stupid Housewives do they need throwing tables and limbs at each other. Yeah, I guess I need to take off my artificial leg and throw it at Vanderpump. I like doing live shows - it's just getting to them that's a hassle. Doing films is fun too. . . a good film. . . but there's a lot of waiting around.
This ain't fun. But you watch me, I'll get it done.
Mos Def is one of the most creative, intelligent human beings I've had the opportunity to work with. He is fun. The entire time, he would go in and out of different characters, just for the fun of it. Awesome energy.
The first story I wrote was "Catface" which was later selected for The O. Henry Collection, so that gave me some confidence to try some more. Gathering these stories together was fun, but I realized when I read them that I have certain mental preoccupations and they keep recurring in my stories.
