inspiration school humor
There's no difference between fame and infamy now. There's a new school of professional famous people that don't do anything. They don't create anything.
rain climbing people
Life is just a series of peaks and troughs. And you don't know whether you're in a trough until you're climbing out, or on a peak until you're coming down. And that's it you know, you never know what's round the corner. But it's all good. "If you want the rainbow, you've gotta put up with the rain." Do you know which "philosopher" said that? Dolly Parton. And people say she's just a big pair of tits.
paris fans said
She said, 'I'm your biggest fan,' and I said, 'Who are you?' She said, 'Paris Hilton.'
block trying failing
Try something. And never be afraid to fail. That failure is useful too. It's just another building block.
criticism way what-you-love
The best way to avoid criticism is never do anything ever. Or, do what you love, have a great life & let others spend their time criticising.
thank-god thanks thanks-god
When someone thanks God, I don't get offended.
world terrible ifs
If you can't joke about the most horrendous things in the world, what's the point of jokes? What's the point in having humor? Humor is to get us over terrible things.
thinking play advice
I think the best advice I'd say to any actor when you do comedy is play it straight.
oscars golden kim
For any of you who don't know, the Golden Globes are just like the Oscars, but without all that esteem. The Golden Globes are to the Oscars what Kim Kardashian is to Kate Middleton. A bit louder, a bit trashier, a bit drunker, and more easily bought.
believe religion opinion
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but if you believe in god, you're wrong.
hurt powerful law
Blasphemy: a law to protect an all-powerful, supernatural deity from getting its feelings hurt.
thinking buying pants
I don't think humans are meant to be looked at when we're buying pants.
world four oscars
I've been nominated four times, never won. And the whole world is going, `Why hasn't Winslet won one?' That's why I'm doing it. "Schindler's Bloody List," "The Pianist," Oscars coming out of their ass.
running philosophy laughing
My philosophy? Have a laugh for as long as you can and don't get run over. Or stabbed.
