I’ve had to really teach myself that when you’re not feeling it, you shouldn’t write anything down because you’re going to end up coming back and re-writing it later. Whereas, if you write when you’re...

‘Tattoos’ reminds me of where I’m from, and some of the stuff I did when I was growing up. That was one of the things that was appealing about the song when I heard it...

Eventually the bad stuff I’m writing turns into better stuff. Other times, I’ve just walked away from what I was working on, and figured I’d have a better perspective when I came back to it.

I was timid and frightened as a child. Yours truly did not shin up mountains or do any other kind of adventurous stuff.

I think I’m more influenced, just in general, not by blues artists, but more by stuff from Curtis Mayfield, Stevie Wonder. Stevie Wonder is probably my biggest musical influence of all. And Donny Hathaway.

What you do in your art – TV, music, film stuff – touches people. And they want to touch you. So that’s a blessing. I’m okay with it.

You can watch videos and hit off the tee, stuff like that, but at the same time, it’s you against the pitcher. I just need one swing or one pitch to click, and you can...

I just sing the stuff that makes me smile, makes me feel like I didn’t sell myself out.

Comics are too big. You can’t say any kind or genre of comics is better than another. You can say so subjectively. But to say it like it’s objective is wrong. It’s wrong morally, because...

When people ask me about my story, I just go through the positive stuff: the tent-pole moments, the big landmark checkpoints.

Obviously, matches and all that stuff takes its toll on your body and so forth. But as you get sort of a bit older, a bit wiser, and a bit more experienced, you know also...

I think the hedge-fund industry has taken a reputational turn for the worse, this dog-eat-dog stuff. I’m not just talking about Herbalife or J. C. Penney, but in other situations where the media really focuses...

I’m an actor. My life as an actor depends on who sends me what. I’m just taking the best stuff that I can find that’s sent my way, regardless of how big or little the...

I don’t need to have a retirement, retire your jersey, all that stuff to solidify my career.

The reality of loving God is loving him like he’s a Superhero who actually saved you from stuff rather than a Santa Claus who merely gave you some stuff.

I thought I had to show all my stuff and I almost tore the boards of the grandstand with my fastball.

I think the key to being a journalist is getting your subject to feel comfortable enough to talk about stuff they want to talk about and the stuff they like and don’t like, and still...

I see all the red carpet paparazzi stuff and I’m like, ‘Really? Do I have to?!’ I like to work and I know that’s part of the job. But you kind of take it in...

I’ve been active in animal rights and all kinds of environmental stuff and children’s charities over the years.

Writing fiction is the ‘job’ I try to keep at the center of things. The movie stuff has been a wonderful accident, though not entirely bizarre, either, as I have done some work in film...

We’re dancing from here, from inside, not from outside. You could look at anybody throwing their leg and kick their leg up and a million pirouettes and do all kinds of tricks and stuff like...

I’ve built an 8-track studio in my house that’s virtually identical to what they used at Abbey Road, and I also own the 16-track set-up that Led Zeppelin used to record ‘Houses of the Holy.’...

Mostly, I don’t write overtly personal stuff.

Don’t wait. Start stuff.

I went to school for about 2 years on a technical course, and I learned a lot. I learned about air mixture ratios and all the stuff; I learned how to draw blood.

I think musical theater fans – obsessive fans – are very much like Comic Con fans in our personalities. We’re very possessive, and we’re very obsessive, and we’re very critical. So don’t screw with our...

I guess my journey with comics began with stuff like Spider-Man and Batman. I started off with mainstream superhero stuff, which I’ve never abandoned.

What is a shame is that there isn’t stuff that is as great as ‘Oz’ on a consistent level around today.

A lot of people, myself included, are excited about blogging and stuff like that, citizen journalism, but I do remind people that no matter how excited we are, there’s no substitute for professional writing, no...

With expectations, when you throw that stuff out there, when you put a bunch of pressure on yourself to reach those goals, you don’t do anything different. You just keep working to get better.

And I know how many DJ pools have grown and I know how DJing has grown in the overall, but that was the technical side of it to me. DJs were rolling around, looking for...

The nerds are the ones that make the films and do loads of other really cool stuff in their life.

If I had unlimited funds, wall space and storage, I would collect a lot more things, like ‘Planet of the Apes,’ ‘Star Wars,’ science fiction stuff, autographs, and prop guns and weapons. I have to...

I’m not a big lingerie girl. I see it, and I love it, and I appreciate it, and sometimes I even buy it, and then it never gets worn. It just seems like kind of...

People like to say how much they like stuff, but with ‘The Sunset Tree,’ people shared stories about what it meant for them. And that stuff’s so humbling and amazing.

One constant writing ritual, no matter what I’m writing, is that I cannot write if people are around me. It wigs me out – the idea that someone is reading as I’m writing stuff.

Move fast and break things. Unless you are breaking stuff, you are not moving fast enough.

I suppose I didn’t cry in all the cancer crap stuff because I felt I couldn’t lose the battle, and part of the battle was holding myself together.

When people are in the midst of really heavy stuff and still have a sense of humor, I admire that.

My first break was in a Hong Kong movie that I shot in China – I was going out there and working as a western stunt man, if you like, but at the same time...

I always get scared. I can’t read scripts. I’m scared, scary movies and stuff.

Some comedians will tour and do these classic bits all the time. But now with YouTube and Comedy Central, people see your stuff, and they don’t want to hear you do that again.

I don’t care if it’s rap, metal, whatever. You still should play Beatles records mixed with Limp Bizkit mixed with Foghat mixed with Creedence Clearwater Revival, stuff like that.

You know. I’ll try anything. I’ll do anything. I’ll explore. Try different takes. All that kind of stuff to do sometimes, to do good performances, but always conducive to having a good time creatively.

Some music comes from a real place; some music comes from your imagination. It’s difficult to find out what’s real and what’s not, especially with the gangster stuff.

I don’t deal at all well with the relative amount of stuff I have to face already.

Frank’s bands could play the hardest stuff and make it seem like no big deal.

And it has some weight, I mean, the whole history of the gargoyles, that’s some wonderful stuff.

I am never happy with what I do, so I try not to watch stuff that is filmed with me in it because I am always like, ‘Oh, I could have done that a little...

I don’t like to have gimmicks. I don’t like to have gadgets and stuff. I just like to go out there and entertain the fans by wrestling.
