My wife’s jealousy is getting ridiculous. The other day she looked at my calendar and wanted to know who May was.

I think I can get away, sometimes, with walking in the streets and not getting noticed. I like that. I want my work to get noticed, not me. And it’s slowly getting there, which is...

When you’re at work, it’s about being present and getting as much done as humanly possible.

I had been on the road for a long time and was not really getting anywhere. Bob Johnston, a friend of mine, had taken over Columbia in Nashville. He asked me if I wanted to...

Putting TV stars in plays just to get people in is wrong. You have to have the right people in the right parts. Stunt casting and being gimmicky does the theatre a great disservice. You...

The chances of anyone of any race getting their own show are, like, .001 percent.

There’s a plaque on our wall that says we’ve sold over 65 million albums, and I don’t feel I’ve accomplished anything. I feel like I’m just getting started.

It’s about pursuing it rather than waiting to see what comes along. That’s partly because I found myself getting typecast, as everyone does unless they pursue roles that are very different from what they’ve done...

Fake tan is really difficult to get right. When I was younger, I’d always do it wrong. I’d leave it on and forget to wash it off. So I embrace being pale. I like getting...

For me, disability is a way of getting some extremity, some kind of very difficult situation, that throws an interesting light on people.

I don’t have goals when writing books, apart from getting to the end. I have rather vague ideas about how I want things to feel, I’m big on ambience. I have a title, a beginning...

I can’t listen to my own voice. I change my voicemail on my machine literally every week because I’m so obsessed with getting the right tone of voice.

We have 2 million users in the U.S. and about 13 million worldwide in more than 200 countries. We’re getting 80,000 new users each day. And more than half a million people are connected via...

Leadership is getting someone to do what they don’t want to do, to achieve what they want to achieve.

I just do what feels right. I think the great thing about getting to do what I do is that you can try out being a different person without having to screw up your life...

When you become famous, you start getting invites to parties where there are famous athletes and famous rock stars, politicians, people who have tremendous power and affluence. It’s not in my DNA, but certainly I...
