But those guys (on 'Idol') will never be known for defining a generation of young suburbanites like (blink) did.
My whole life has been completely about being underestimated. I remember when Blink signed to a major label, and we had a debut party for the signing. No one came to party, only the guy that signed us. And I remember sitting there, like, "S**t, no one likes this."
I was 18, and I either wanted to go to university in the States, and experience it like how it is in the movies - you know, date a cheerleader, be the coolest guy on campus - or I wanted to take a year and focus on what I wanted to do. I got into all the universities I applied to, but I took a year off anyway and said, let's see what happens.
I've always tried different stuff in the studio. I use rakes, spoons, cans... I'm a surround-sound type of guy.
It was dangerous to hit the wrong kid in my neighborhood, because a lot of the guys I played with had fathers in the Mafia.
I've always felt that my generation was the last group to have passion about the game. Some of today's guys don't seem to share that interest and it shows.
It's not impressive to get in a fight, but if one does happen, you've gotta be ready to handle it. Every girl, not just biker chicks, knows what kind of guy can.
The only politician ever to have entered parliament with honourable intentions, was Guy Fawkes.
To show you how radical I am, I want carjackers dead. I want rapists dead. I want burglars dead. I want child molesters dead. I want the bad guys dead. No court case. No parole. No early release. I want 'em dead. Get a gun and when they attack you, shoot 'em.
The thing that's great about those guys at Miramax is the Weinstein brothers. They are the two funniest guys I've ever met in my life.
The older I get the more I realize there's no real good guys or real bad guys, and I'm curious about how the good guys got good and how the bad guys got bad.
I was painfully initiated into boxing, because the guys I fought were a lot bigger than me.
Yeah, it's scary. During filming, it wasn't just jitters from being the newer guy there or the greenest guy there. It was also fear of not messing up such an important character.
The first thought that I had about really trying to get sober was, 'Man, I could do a lot of good in the world. I can lead by example and just be this heroic recovery guy.' And that's just a bad reason to get sober. You can't get sober for anybody's benefit, let alone the world at large. You really got to do it for yourself.
Darren McCarty is a big video game guy, and he brings his systems with him on the road.
Unless you're Jack Lemmon or Cary Grant, there are few guys who can do comedy and drama.
I went in right up front and said, This can't be about some guy in bandages. I didn't even want to do a horror movie. I took the concept and made a romantic adventure film. I like action heroes who don't take themselves too seriously. I wanted to make everyone take the mummy seriously, but it couldn't just be a guy in bandages. But the main thing was to build in surprises. That's one of the great things you can do with special effects.
I'm a lucky guy. No question.
Believe me, it's always a lot harder on the guy getting fired.
I'm not the go-to guy. Everybody is trying to tell their story and have different ways of telling it.
Fascism is relatively easy to explain. It is a reactionary phenomenon. Nazism was some bad guys having some bad ideas and unfortunately succeeding in realizing them.
Dhoni is one guy who doesn't know the meaning of fear.
Typical of most French guys in our league with a visor on, running around and playing tough and not back anything up.
The worrying thing is there's so much latent hatred of the guy [Donald Trump] and this guy isn't even president yet.
The manipulation of what's actually portrayed in the media, through the legal system, is pretty shocking, actually. You can see how someone you would never know can make a public figure look like a bad guy or a good guy just from the little information they let you know. My advice is to research everything. Don't just hide behind your Facebook posts. Research everything.
