That's what interested me in the character of him. He sees things differently. He was not as connected to the community. He was a bit of an outsider, not local. It was let's coach football, take baby steps, do what we have to do. He likes to philosophize. He's got opinions on everything. He'll let me know. It's an honor to be stepping into his shoes. What he did was life inspiring things." ()
I don't dislike any of my exes. If I took time to form a relationship, it's gonna hurt when we move on, but are you puttin' White-Out over all that beautiful time together? That was real time in your life. It's connected to where you are today.
Whether I'm running on the beach without my shirt or whether I'm going out with my kids or going to church or going out to dinner - I don't choose to insulate myself in engaging in real life. Hence, the public kind of almost knows me as much through my real life that they see through the rag mags.
And that's the main buzz with betting games like this. Every weekend, whether I bet or not, I go through lists and try to pick winners in my own life so come Monday, if I did well, I can go 'told ya' and if I didn't do well I can blame it on something else." ()
Any artist, the work you do, if it's a painting or if it's a performance, you hope it translates to a common denominator with the people that they see something in their own life in there. Or they see something in somebody else's life. That's what's fun about sharing art.
Life is not fair, it never was and it is now and it won't ever be. Do not fall into the trap. The entitlement trap, of feeling like you're a victim. You are not.
The best education I've had in my life is to travel.
Life is a series of commas, not periods.
I've read a lot of really great characters in some really crappy stories, where I said, like, 'Boy I could shine here, but the story sucks.' I don't want to be part of that.
Even as a kid, I wore J.C. Penney plain-pocket jeans because they were plain pockets. I didn't want anybody's name on my backside. I personally don't like to wear clothing that is named for somebody or has someone's likeness all over it.
Romcoms are hard in a lot of ways: they're built to be buoyant. It's easy to demean them.
Very seldom to you read about stories like this. It's based on something that happened ... history. I was inspired by it. It really happened and it stayed on my mind. I wanted to be a part of it somehow." ()
I was responsible for Brandon Lang, ... That was my job, to be able to make a believable character who you can understand and go through the whole story with." ()
She's got a premiere in Paris. But we're both having a great night." ()
