I never feel with the fashion stuff that it’s too fake. If I was a model and had a working part in Fashion Week, then I might feel like that, but I’m just a visitor....

You can tell your uncle stuff that you could not tell your dad. That is kind of the role of an uncle. I feel very much like a father sometimes but sometimes I feel like...

Personally as an actress, when I work on something, that’s it and then I move onto the next thing. I’m not someone who sits and watches my stuff. I like to go onto the next...

I can dance. I like hip hop and stuff and jazz movements, but I’m horrible in ballet. I tried.

People internalize, from the jail to student loan debt, to credit card debt, to unemployment to the whole collective. It manifests itself in many ways, in people’s home lives, domestic stuff.

The new material fits very comfortably with the older stuff.

I’m not a pop act, churning stuff out really quickly. I find the music that arises from that style of working is distracted, not particularly profound.

There is still a real need for good quality architecture, not paper architecture, but the real stuff.

you never know your true genius untill you do what you love

I probably could be a world-class screenwriter by now if I had spent the kind of work I devote on Comedy Death-Ray to that. But I do okay, in that regard. I mean, my stuff...

I’m a New Zealand actor, and I really want to be doing our stuff here, and our stuff includes plays from overseas. In terms of survival, maybe I should have taken a shot elsewhere at...

The more material we lose, the less we have. The less we have, the more we win.

I have to be entertained by what I’m writing, so a lot of my stuff has a goofiness or scatological quality. If these characters can entertain me, then I feel like I can deal with...

Doing a play, you have a little bit more time, obviously. You rehearse for a month before you get up in front of people. It’s a totally different energy. With film, TV, you want to...

I think it’s important as a filmmaker, as any person working in the arts, that you’ve got to try new stuff and challenge yourself and take chances.

You can teach all the other stuff, you know. You can teach shooting the ball, you can teach having a good touch… passing and whatnot, but when you get out there on the field, it’s...

In our skulls, we carry around 3 pounds of slimy, wet, greyish tissue, corrugated like crumpled toilet paper. You wouldn’t think, to look at the unappetizing lump, that it was some of the most powerful...

I was always pretty good at school, but a lot of it was memorising, maybe cheating off your mates, stuff that gets you through.

I honestly, purposely have not gone to therapy because I know some crazy stuff’s going to be dragged up and, you know, I’ll be like, ‘Wait, what?’

I do not see myself, I never make plans, I never set goals, and I never do that kind of stuff; I don’t like to futurize, I barely know what I will do tomorrow, and...

I found my voice was a reaction to all that voice stuff.

Ralph Lemon is my idol. But music is my biggest passion. Frank Ocean’s ‘Pyramids’ is on repeat. That kind of stuff with Frank Ocean makes me cry.

For about seven years. I really like it there. There are a lot of great musicians. The scene is very open. A lot of stuff going on. People’s ears are really open, they are not...

I lost a company. So what? It’s just stuff. Can’t take it with you.

But the real interesting stuff is in the cellar and the attic.

It was tough to try to be serious in front of Halle Berry and Pierce Brosnan with all this stuff in my face. There’s never been a character that’s looked this extreme.

I would let my kids watch this stuff way before I’d let them watch something like ‘Full House’ that I think would make them stupid.

You have to create your own stuff. It’s really exciting to create something, sell it, and feel like I’m not just a pawn waiting to be cast.

If you want to make people dance, you need to follow certain rules. Build-ups and breaks and stuff. I like to be free. On top of it all, I never really felt that I’m good...

I am a curious creature and put my finger in as many cakes as I can: history, film, technology, etc. I’m also a freak for urban history, particularly Barcelona, Paris and New York. I know...

Even when I go do comedy stuff live, I can still feel the drummer in me about to go onstage.

And if I would have taken lessons I probably wouldn’t have done it, and what forced me to do all this weird stuff on the guitar was I couldn’t afford effects pedals, I didn’t have...

I think complexity is mostly sort of crummy stuff that is there because it’s too expensive to change the interface.

I got about 6037 songs I wrote myself and I’m trying to get them on the market and I just wish people could hear them and stuff but they’ll do pretty good.

The moral angle to the foreclosure crisis – and, of course, in capitalism we’re not supposed to be concerned with the moral stuff, but let’s mention it anyway – shows a culture that is slowly...

For years, I’ve written narrators who aren’t gender-identified. When I do autobiographical stuff, that’s different, obviously. But I’ve always tried to keep my songs as potentially not a man’s thing.

I think you miss out on a lot of stuff when you’re so protected and isolated.

I’m definitely incredibly attracted to the aesthetic of what is typically deemed goth stuff, but. A lot of my experience growing up was in being around that kind of thing, and it’s just what sinks...

I hate all the core stuff. That’s why I have to have a trainer. That’s the only way I’m going to do the abs work.

What I bring to the table is a huge enthusiasm and love for this stuff.

I try to manage my day by my circadian rhythms because the creativity is such an elusive thing, and I could easily just stomp over it doing my administrative stuff.

I ain’t afraid to tell the world that it didn’t take school stuff to help a fella play ball.

The mind-stuff of the world is, of course, something more general than our individual conscious minds…. It is difficult for the matter-of-fact physicist to accept the view that the substratum of everything is of mental...

I like to wear tight jeans. Most of my stuff is pretty slim fit.

The only reason that it takes me seven years to do stuff is because I just don’t really have a plan.

Some of our stuff ends up looking too corporate. I’m going to be a lot stricter from now on.

I have that love for music, when you are finding either old gems that you never heard or newer stuff that perks your ear. It keeps you trying to look for new stuff to write...

I hate to look at the stuff I’ve written and consider what it means or why I do it.

Race and sexual preferences are two different things. One is a behavior-related and preference-related and one is something inherently – skin color, something obvious, that kind of stuff.

I like all kinds of comedy. I like comedy that doesn’t talk about real beliefs or serious thoughts, but then I also like the stuff that does. I think it just depends. It’s a completely...
