I used to think a wedding was a simple affair. Boy and girl meet, they fall in love, he buys a ring, she buys a dress, they say I do. I was wrong. That's getting married. A wedding is an entirely different proposition.
When you're reaching for a star, there's a long way to fall.
Romance takes place when you first fall in love. It stirs all emotions and you can manipulate and be manipulated.
It's very hard sometimes when you can't crack something or can't solve something and you keep trying and trying and you know it's falling a little bit short. That's very hard, but then when you finally do it, it's very rewarding and the process is good too, I like working with people this way.
Right now we're teaching them that the game is fun. If they learn it's fun, they always go back to it again in clinics and in schools.
It doesn't behoove us not to ask these questions. It makes us look like fools.
I thought if I had a Twitter feed and say I had a following of a 100,000, that means 100,000 of them would be interested in my book. It was logical, but it didn't turn out to be true. It turned out if I had a Twitter feed of a 100,000, four of them were interested in my book.
I would have felt a little funny if another actor was playing this role.
While my fervent hope is we can get the entire amount ... I think we need to have some idea what we would lose.
It's kind of a dream come true, because we've always loved these films. We've loved this character, and now we have the opportunity to not remake the movie, but to play these characters. It's like playing Hamlet.
It takes time though for owners and trainers to invest that additional purse money to start cultivating that better racing product.
I think when I was young, let's call it high school, and even before that, I just loved comedy, and I loved comedians. I grew up watching Laurel and Hardy. That's really a long time ago. I loved Jerry Lewis. I just loved comedians.
I have thought about some kind of musical involving my music. That would be kind of interesting. I have thought of it in that way, as a creator of something, not so much a performer. So that's in my head.
I love comedy. That's what got me into the arts. I don't even know how to categorize myself anymore.
