Isn’t it amazing how much stuff we get done the day before vacation?

I’ve done stuff to pay my dues and that’s what actors are supposed to do, because I was a really bad actor when I was 18 or 20.

‘Homeward Bound.’ I find myself listening to that tune a lot when I’m traveling. Sitting in a railway station, wanting to go home, carrying all your stuff with you.

I really get inspired by songs. Like, if I hear a thug ‘Want to kill ya’ song, I’m ready to go out and get crazy. Or if you hear this really sexual, sensual slow song,...

Writing comedy is an exposing thing because you’re putting yourself on the line with every joke you write, and although you can’t second-guess an audience, if you want to be successful, you have to write...

Do whatever you’re directed to do, and leave the rest of that technical stuff up to the director.

There’s a television show, ‘Hoarders,’ where people have those homes filled with stuff. Emotionally, in our minds, we get so filled with resentments where we’ve got a story about absolutely everything.

Home base is the support system where we have a culinary team, my own writers because of the shows and the books and stuff, we have a culinary team of about six people. Marketing, public...

I lose tons of stuff on the cutting room floor. For Scary Movie 3, for example, we had a lot of Matrix spoofs, a Hulk scene, and some of that stuff just doesn’t hold up...

I do these conventions sometimes. We’ve been doing a lot of ‘The Vampire Diaries’ conventions, but I do Comic-Con and stuff all over the world. They can be taxing, and they can take it out...

I can remember the night I became a Christian. And man, this weight came off of me and all that kind of stuff. What I didn’t realize was, that was just the beginning – of...

If you look in my CD case, you’ll see it’s Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, now I can’t think of anyone else, but all that stuff.

A lot of times when I’ve been offered film series and stuff, if they shoot in Los Angeles, I lose interest.

So with ‘There Will Be Blood,’ I didn’t even really feel like I was adapting a book. I was just desperate to find stuff to write.

As far as directors, I’m a big fan of any kind of Billy Wilder stuff. Anything he does.

When you get to know an artist, you find out the things that have peeved them over the years, and it’s generally the stuff that has to do with somebody not wanting to do things...

The music stuff is just a hobby.

I have my guy Semi who is my on the road – he’s my personal trainer. He helps me out with training and stuff like that, and he’s shown me a lot of things I...

I didn’t realize how much harm I was doing back then and I think a lot of rap artists probably don’t realize it now. I said a lot of stuff fooling around back then, and...

I look for stuff that I’m passionate about.

In the beginning, I thought it would be really glamorous, working in fashion. But it’s actually quite hard. You don’t even know half the stuff that goes on backstage.

Clear your stuff. Clear your mind.

Look at the average American diet: ice cream, butter, cheese, whole milk, all this fat. People don’t realize how much of this stuff you get by the end of the day. High blood pressure is...

I think all the stuff that happens before the pictures are taken is much more exciting.

It’s hard to make a film in Britain. It’s hard to raise money. The best stuff that is shot on film in Britain is usually shot on film for television.

Adulthood is interesting to adults. But I would never want to write about stuff I don’t feel everybody can connect to.

I’m a bit of a clothes hoarder, admittedly. I try to weed out stuff. My girlfriends come over for cheese and wine and go shopping in my wardrobe. They especially love it when they get...

In the beginning, I didn’t dance that much and stuff.

I tend to process emotional stuff very, very slowly.

So many people of my generation all grew up with that shock theater package on television of ‘Frankenstein,’ ‘Wolfman,’ ‘Dracula,’ ‘Mummy,’ all the Universal stuff.

I’ve always been fascinated with radio and broadcasting. I did fake radio shows as a kid, where I was a DJ and stuff like that.

There’s a certain kind of research you have to listen to – the factual stuff, not opinion. Facts are facts. Sugar is sweet – it’s not a matter of opinion. It just is.

That’s where humour lives for me. In the body. The Steve Martin kind of stuff or Jim Carrey, that’s what I like. I’ve always felt that’s what I would like to do.

For some reason I’ve been labeled that and it’s fine, but there are a lot of other artists that sing real traditional stuff, so I don’t know why they picked me. That’s what I’ve always...

I’m not really into makeup, not really into fuffing with hair and stuff.

I try not to sell myself short, unless I’m giving myself a great price on the stuff.

That’s what supporting the troops is really all about – making sure American grunts get the right stuff!

Letting go of “stuff” allowed the world to collapse behind me as I moved, so I became nothing more or less than who I simply was: Me.

I don’t want to sell my soul to Hollywood – to just make run-of-the-mill stuff.

I would say to someone, ‘Make your own stuff sooner.’ Also, it’s OK to say no to something if it doesn’t feel right.

The most frustrating thing is that I want to always buy the best thing, the thing that does the most stuff.

I can do something else besides stuff a ball through a hoop. My biggest resource is my mind.

So I cut out all the drinkin’ and hangin’ out and stuff like that early on.

I’m not concerned that my stuff isn’t extreme. I don’t want to be heavy. I can’t think of another attitude to have toward an audience than a hopeful and a positive one. And if that...

I think cable TV in the United States is amazing right now. It’s reinvented television, really. What’s going on in the States with some of these cable shows like ‘Breaking Bad’ and ‘Mad Men’ is...

There’s a lot of stuff you’ve gotta know about Auto-Tune before you can start using it, because it’s the hot thing to do.

And I’m not a personality; otherwise I’d be coming out with an album, performing on MTV. All that stuff is possible and I can do that tomorrow. I just have no need.

I spend shockingly little time thinking about real-world stuff.

At the same time that I love meeting people and stuff, I’m a very private person.

I am strong-willed, which can be annoying sometimes. And from that I think people assume I have confidence and Hollywood glamour and all that stuff, when actually, in my personal life, sometimes I’m just a...
