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.
grass-is-greener-on-the-other-side sides grass-growing
The grass isn't always greener on the other side!
bears cry
I fought a bear once. But it started crying, so I let it off.
weekend night people
Hotel bars are pretty good. No one bothers me there. Restaurants are safe. People are quite respectful when you're eating. But what I never do now is go to a busy bar on the weekend, or after 8 o'clock at night. That's the danger zone. Also being trapped. Never go on the Metro, or a bus.
water trying would-be
I like my baths really deep and hot. But washing everything only takes a few minutes. So I thought it would be a waste to just flush all that water away. So there was nothing else to do but take pictures of myself trying to look as horrendous as possible. Oh my, what have I started?
blackboard amazing-things
That's the amazing thing about life. You can just rub it out, like a blackboard, and start again.
