As I've got older, and since I cut all my hair off, I've felt a bit more liberated about trying different things out.
People want jobs, but nobody has a recipe for how to get them. And so they are trying different things.
I just want to keep making music, recording and trying different things. I don't want to do the same thing all the time.
I don't want to do the same thing over and over again.
I would love to continue to challenge myself by trying different things. Action, Drama, Comedy. . . I would be grateful to do any and all of it if someone is kind enough to hire me! I have such a wonderful time on The Originals though, because I get to play Rebekah in so many different periods. I'm a little spoiled
In my work, I'm passionate about trying different things and being okay if I mess up. Now I'm trying to bring that into my own life.
Trying different things is very important to me. I see people and want to wear their clothes and drive in their cars for awhile. Thats probably one reason I became an actor.
I see that happening with hip hop purists now. Where you have an artist like a Kendrick [Lamar] or a Drake, who are really trying different things emotionally, different things musically, and on a mainstream level. And you have underground hip hop fans dissing it, for the simple fact that it's mainstream - not because what they're doing is whack, or what they're doing is not sincere.
I like the challenge of trying different things and wondering whether it's going to work or whether I'm going to fall flat on my face.
In a play, the director is God, and I'm a great arguer. Rather boringly so, I think, about trying different things.
I guess in general, because it's such a popular trend in mainstream American pop, that there's been some kind of negative reaction to it. But at the same time, it's a really interesting effect and really interesting texture, and a lot of credit goes to Rostam for producing our music, and all the work that he puts into it, and just trying different things. Ezra did a vocal take, Rostam threw auto-tune on it, and we all liked the way it sounded.
They think that I was like Amy Grant, when actually no! The label went bankrupt and maybe sold a couple hundred records and that's about it. I was just trying different things.
I've always wanted to do things differently, and if one person or ten people are doing the same, then I want to do it differently. I love to travel, I love art, I love fashion. I love going to great restaurants and trying different things. Different cultures are inspiring to me.
Fashion is more than just how many colors and patterns you can put on at once. Being a great dresser is not necessarily about the colors you put on. It's about putting things together in the right way and then trying different things.
When I tried to play something and screwed up, I'd hear some other note that would come into play. Then I started trying different things to find the beauty in it.
I'm always experimenting and trying different things. That's what keeps it fun and encourages growth.
Gary Ross is amazing. He's just - he always has a billion ideas of what he wants, but has a very clear perspective also; he just makes it work. He really does. He's trying different things and making everything look amazing.
Playing with decks, for me, has always been about trying new things. I make it a point to keep trying different things, keep pushing it a little bit at a time.
It's always interesting to see a director trying different things, and on top of it, doing it right each and almost every time.
