I don't understand women who try to be glamour queens.
You can't just try to be a performer. It's in your DNA. I really believe that it's either what you are or it's not at all.
I didn't belong when I was in high school. Now people are trying to buy lips.
The Disney sale happens, Clone Wars closes out, and they start Rebels. And I remember talking with Dave Filoni at the studio, at a time when I didn't know what I would or wouldn't be doing for Star Wars. And Dave kind of shrug his shoulders and says what I don't have the courage to bring up, which is, "You know Maul is coming into Rebels, right?" And I was hoping! I feel like this guy, he got his mileage. He's had more than his fair share at trying to make his mark on the Star Wars universe.
I am forced, as I have often said, to try to make myself laugh, that I may not cry: for one or other I must do.
Certainly there are various trans-Islamic political movements, which try to appeal to Muslims in all societies.
Try and forget our cares and sickness, and contribute, as we can to the happiness of each other.
I try. I fail. I try again. I fail better.
I think we all go through times in our lives when we decide, "I'm going to try something else." I tried filmmaking instead of painting, and I think I enjoyed it more. So I don't paint anymore.
I don't want to try to force anything, because I'm really happy with Chickenfoot; my new record with them is phenomenal.
Our band tries and be as personable with fans as possible because up until the last two months it's been very bearable and easy to get to know fans on first name basis, especially the fans who come to multiple shows. Now its getting a little bit harder with new people and it's a little overwhelming so we're trying to strike the balance of being a very public band that establishes a relationship with the audience.
I joke that I spent 38 years scouring the globe, going to war zones, trying to find the person with my exact birthday.
There's a voice when I write. I speak everything aloud. My family is so accustomed to me talking to myself that often times they don't answer me when I am trying to speak to one of them.
I don't feel intimidated by any of the people I'm talking to or the situations I find myself in. I just try to make my nana proud.
Hopefully the person I'm trying to create is just a funny, dour, evil side of myself that has no other way to express itself. I don't model it after anyone in particular. Who would be like that? Who? I wouldn't want to meet that person. I wouldn't want to be interviewed by that person, I can tell you that.
Those who pretend to investigate the transcendental truths of the Being based on pure reasoning fall in the same mistake as someone who, ignoring how to use the science's modern instruments, tries to study the life of what is infinitely small with telescopes and the life of what is infinitely large with microscopes.
When I'm faced with difficult times, I actually usually remember the golden rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. This is a stark reminder on a very regular basis, because we have a lot of personalities here. Politics can be difficult. But I never forget that golden rule, and try to really empathize and understand where someone is coming from before I take action or I say something.
I try to stay clear of karaoke because it normally involves an excess amount of drinking.
As a musician myself, it annoys the hell out of me to watch an actor trying to play a guitar out of time with the music.
Try and fit in in a New Zealand playground with an Armagh accent - it doesn't work.
Art is an artifice that you try to make seem natural.
The spiritual mind is always metaphorical. Spiritual thinking is poetic thinking. It's always trying to put a very diaphanous experience into words, realizing all the while that words are inadequate.
When you're writing a screenplay every scene needs to change from positive to negative, or negative to positive, and constantly trying to change the values of the movie.
How do you create a film that can reach millions of people and engage them in the subject? You have to take risks and try something new.
What you want to do is innovate on your product and your business model, management structure is not where I would try and innovate.
