Life does throw some hard stuff at you as you get older, much harder. But you are more able to deal with things.
I kept all of my tickets from the New Kids concerts and stuff - wristband, ticket, pass. Why? They are all in a drawer. I never look at it, but I still keep it. It sparks joy, that is why. It sparks joy. That is fine!
I read loads. There's quite a lot of stuff online.
I like soft candy. I'm not a fan of the hard stuff. I like that quick flavor boost!
I'm pretty earthy; I nursed forever because I liked it and my kids liked it, but at the same time I'm very laissez-faire about stuff like bedtimes and food.
I like dramas and stuff. That's what I watch, but it seems weird that I'd be in it.
I've always been drawn to people with problems. Not just physical problems, but mental problems too. Like depressed people or killers, all that stuff.
I like to create stuff. I like to express myself through jokes.
It's funny to see the finished product of a movie, stuff that's so beautiful, and to remember the particulars.
If the goal is doing good stuff and working with your friends ... if you’re doing that then you’re succeeding.
We're actually making stuff in America now. We're exporting stuff. We're inventing things.
My coach told me I had to expect, you know, some long rallies and stuff. So, you know, I was ready for this.
I wouldn't want to forget anything, even the weird stuff and the bad stuff. It makes you who you are.
One thing about being a performer is you're not just doing an intellectual job behind a desk; you're out there performing and being looked at, being assessed for really superficial stuff.
I've had some interesting stuff happen to me - so why doesn't anyone ask me?
I can’t talk about anything or write about anything if I don’t understand it. So a lot of the stuff that I go through and a lot of the time that I spend is understanding.
Where is love exchanged? Where is the love felt when a state administrator stuffs a welfare check into an outgoing mail?
I find that a lot of my best character stuff and ideas come unwittingly from novels. In scripts, it's a lot about the outward signs of whatever's happening - you have the end result. Whereas in a novel you get a buildup of the whys and wherefores, and you're let into the backstory.
I would say my favorite was just the beginning of the movie like doing all the rehearsal stuff. It's been amazing to see the rest of it happen but it happens so piecemeal. And Edgar sort of has the whole movie edited in his head already, so we're just sort of matching to what he has.
I never really read superhero stuff as a kid.
Oh My God, the [hip-hop] videos! The imagery is so awful! I just can't get with it at all. The best thing I can say about it is that sometimes you have to see that kind of stuff so as to have a more balanced view about why it's so bad.
I don't do much public speaking. I did a lot of stuff for Bones, and then ended up having said yes to a lot of things that kept me on the road for a while for that, but then I pretty much stopped. I'm touring for this book, but when the tour is done, that'll be the end of it.
Telling someone to be confident in the abstract is not going to make it easier for the unconfident writer to actually get herself or himself to the point of being able to put in the upsetting stuff.
I always think it's just best to just make stuff and to carry on making stuff, even if it's not off your own back, because that's the only way... especially as a comedy writer, I make short films and then show them to live audience, so if they're laughing you know you're doing something right.
The reality is, there's still so much we haven't yet figured out. There's still so much stuff that has not been made more, frankly, efficient.
