We're trying to do this so we can work closer with the Valley of the Moon district, so we can just exchange bottles instead of everyone having different equipment. This will be a big advantage for us and them. The standardization of equipment is very important,
When I started, the scripts weren't as good, and you'd have to have a huge burst of energy to go, "Sheesh, how am I going to? This stuff's no good." So you'd have to improvise something or create something or try to work with the ware and try to figure out, how do you make this visually and orally acceptable, entertaining? Nowadays, the scripts are just so much better, that you don't have to feel that way. You feel like the script's coming to you, you can just relax. You don't have to drive the boat.
I don't feel like it's pressure. It's more of an obligation - not to entertain or be funny, but to have a certain levity. I mean, there's got to be a lightness in your leg. You have to be as light as you can be, and you don't have to be weighted down, stuck in your emotions and stuck in your body, stuck in your head. You just want to try and elevate something.
I think if you can take care of yourself, and then maybe try to take care of someone else, that's sort of how you're supposed to live.
I try to be alert and available. I try to be available for life to happen to me.
You have to be as light as you can be and not get weighed down and stuck in your emotion, stuck in your body, stuck in your head. You just want to always be trying to elevate somehow.
I always want to say to people who want to be rich and famous: 'try being rich first'. See if that doesn't cover most of it. There's not much downside to being rich, other than paying taxes and having your relatives ask you for money. But when you become famous, you end up with a 24-hour job.
I try to be available for life to happen to me. We're in this life, and if you're not available, the sort of ordinary time goes past and you didn’t live it. But if you're available, life gets huge. You're really living it.
Every pizza is a personal pizza if you try hard and believe in yourself.
You're supposed to have one hand up and one hand down. As you're trying to going up, you're trying to pull someone up at the same time.
I think it's good they're trying to listen to some of our concerns.
We had quite a few old ones that didn't match the other departments nearby and we had three different models, which was a training problem, so we wanted to standardize the area,
There's no clear-cut winner right now. If things go as planned (today), we should be in pretty good shape. It'd be huge (if we win).
I am here being paid $2m for a commercial when I could be doing a play.
