across acting free hate ideas somebody
When you have somebody writing or acting for you, you have to be free to have them hate you so you can get your ideas across without worrying.
hated nerd portrayed
I've always hated the way Hollywood has portrayed accountants. They're always little nerd balls, wimpy, afraid of everything. Growing up with accountants, I don't see them that way.
hate people sometimes
Sometimes people say oh you did one of my favorite movies and I will ask them what the other one is and it's always something that I totally hate.
maybe though
I know I mispronounce things constantly, because maybe I read more than I talk, but I don't know the proper way to say a lot of things, even though I know what they are. But then I know I look like a moron.
hear life people
Everything you try to do in life, of any value, people are going to be saying, 'No, no, no.' You have to have the ability to not see that or hear that.
change newest people waiting
When new things come along, some people always want the newest of the new - 'This is what I've been waiting for!' - and some people don't want or need the change - 'I like my old one.'
With electronics, they just get smaller and smaller.
Unfortunately, if you're going to say anything that's in your head, you're going to get some kickback.
There's something you do when you're completely confident that just can't be replicated when you know you're doing something wrong.
amazing snapshot womb
The way things have changed. The pictures in the womb they have now. They're just amazing. They're just like a snapshot of a person.
The Bronx always seemed very dreary to me.
teens
Teens are the target demographic for everything in pop culture.
great undermine women
Some women are great, and you wouldn't have been able to get to where you are without them, and others are doing what they can to undermine you.
dictated freedom hot instead love people respect studio using
In one respect, I like the freedom of using all the people that I love instead of being dictated by the studio to use the hot person of the moment.
