Hosting is an art form. Like acting, singing, or comedy hosting is a craft. It's a delicate dance of timing, the ability to read the room, and the art of conversation.
I don't work with an outline, except a vague one in my head, a general idea of character, place, arc. . . I'm like a composer with a symphony in their head: I can hear the music, I just have to figure out how to put it down on paper. But I don't always know where my stories are going when I begin.
I think there's something fun about television where, as an actor, when you read the script each week, it's like how the audience experiences watching the show each week.
None of my books has been ever in my head; after they're finished, they go. It's like being a sort of medium; you just grab it when it's there then just release it when it's time to go. There's a lot of instinct, not planning.
I think most presidents are amazed at the overwhelming responsibility they have when they enter office and the tremendous amount of work there is. See, a modern president has far more responsibility than a president years ago. And if I were rewriting the Constitution, I would suggest a president be more like a monarch and then have a prime minister under him.
I like to write paper mail - nobody does that anymore - with my pen pals.
I never know the endings when I write. It's a turnoff when you know the ending. You lose much of your incentive to write when you already know. It's like seeing a movie a second time.
I like to write sad songs. They're much easier to write and you get a lot more emotion into them. But people don't want to hear them as much. And radio definitely doesn't; they want that positive, uptempo thing.
Whether you like it or not the millions are here, and here they will remain. If you do not lift them up, they will pull you down. . . Education must not simply teach work - it must teach life.
There is nothing like the love or a child.
I feel like the earth, astonished at fragrance borne in the air, made pregnant with mystery from a drop of rain.
There's a lot of pressure putting an album out all over the world and hoping people everywhere like it.
I like people who are enthused about things they do, like travel, sports, work. I like being with people who have things they're excited about.
Comedy is a funny thing, and it's really not like any other art form in that it's very specialized and varied in it's content, but generic in it's title. You would never go to a club just to see "Live music," you would go to a jazz club to see jazz, a blues club to see blues, etc. But when you go to see "standup comedy," if you don't know the performers material, you really don't have any idea what you're gonna get.
The more that we gather at the seasonal tides of Nature, the more we become like Nature. When we become like Her it is easier to understand Her.
Pinterest is like window shopping 3. 0.
Labels want my name beside a X like Malcolm
My music is not really complicated. It's not really complicated and it's not - I wouldn't say simple - but it's not too, like, looking forward. So actually, like, the sound I have now, maybe it's a little bit better than the one I had, or whatever, but I don't feel uncomfortable yet with my music, you know?
I often make movies that involve depression or deep holes of sadness, although there are also these other great things in 'New Moon,' like this epic set-piece at the end of the film in Italy.
Every film is a challenge. I always say that making a movie is like film school - you're always learning. But unlike most schools, you never get done with it. You never learn everything.
