always-trying stuff reason
I'm always trying to complicate things. For some reason I'll go, "Well, maybe I can get that in," and stuff like that. I always make it really hard for myself.
night people trying
Some nights it was a melee, literally, where I'd be standing trying to defend myself for what I was doing. People would be screaming at me to do my old act, and getting actually violent and angry at me.
kids writing trying
I always have been introspective, since I was a little kid, since I could remember, I was sitting in a closet trying to write out the meaning of the universe. That's been my whole life.
kids eggs trying
Green Eggs and Ham was the story of my life. I wouldn't eat a thing when I was a kid, but Dr. Seuss inspired me to try cauliflower!
thinking people trying
I need privacy. I would think that because what I do makes a lot of people happy that I might deserve a little bit of respect in return. Instead, the papers try to drag me off my pedestal.
trying might never-been-kissed
I try to do something the audience might not have seen before.
philosophy believe trying
I really believe in the philosophy that you create your own universe. I'm just trying to create a good one for myself.
girl kissing trying
I try to do something the audience might not have seen before. Like if I'm gonna kiss a girl I wanna kiss her like a girl has never been kissed. Like maybe I would kick her legs out from under her and catch her right before she hits the ground and then kiss her.
thinking trying obsession
I think obsessions happen because you're trying to understand something or some urge.
pride trying shapes
I try to stay in decent shape always. I pride myself on staying at least a month away from really good shape.
people trying limits
Maybe other people will try to limit me but I don't limit myself.
walking-away brain trying
You love the person for who they are, flaws and all. You can't help who you love, either. It comes from a different side of your brain than the logic part that tells you that this person is horrible for you - "You should walk away!" While you're walking away, the other part of your brain is trying to gain control of your bodily functions. "Turn around! She's the one!"
since
Ever since I started to get recognition I've picked out certain fans and reverse-stalked them.
character films maybe places repeating stay three totally waste
There's new territory, there's new places to go, new things to explore. Why stay back there? ... Maybe it will take three films to find another character that is really totally original, but I've got a lifetime, so why waste it just repeating myself.
