I'm curious how people build up the codes that they live their life by, and how they come to think that that's the best way for them to function.
Being funny, in some ways, is about being connected to psychology.
Recognizing the absurdity of life is also a way of surviving.
Whatever direction your life takes, your underlying themes remain. Discover and explore your themes to open the way for rich creative development.
Also, if you have an accident, you can't start to dance again at the top, you're too weak; you start with the easy things - the way you did them when you were young, and come up up up, the way you did then.
Are you truly dirty if you don't take a shower every day? No, but you feel that way. It's the same with running. Just like a shower, running is part of my daily life.
You're not doing the scene exactly the way it is in the book [The Hunger Games], but the intention of the scene is there.
In the last century, as we learned more about genes, we were able to devise ways of accelerating evolution.
The way I talk to the puppets is real, and it's in the moment, and it's seeing what will happen. It's not something that is scripted.
Having a puppet is a way of having opposing opinions - I say a thing; he says the other.
I like stirring the pot - I think it's part of my duty, to shake people up a bit - make them look at things in a different way.
I'm always trying to do something active because I love it.
Personal chemistry forges the way for musical chemistry.
I just wrapped 'Eclipse' yesterday and the last scene we shot is probably my favorite thus far. I finally got to tell my story, in a very gentle yet elaborate way.
Assad is not going away, but we're not going to stop beating up on him. We're not going to stop saying that the way he treats the people in Syria is wrong, that he has actually killed his own people and America will never stand for that.
Be kind to yourself and to others. Treat others the way you would want to be treated. I was told that every day of my childhood.
And, in a funny way, each death is different and you mourn each death differently and each death brings back the death you mourned earlier and you get into a bit of a pile-up.
The thing I liked about writing about food when I started it was that I felt I was writing about food in a different way. Not like a food writer.
Also, in a funny way, if you have been happily married there are no unresolved areas, nothing to prove to yourself after the other dies.
People will say what they want to say, in the way they want to.
I also like flyfishing - maybe I would have figured a way to make a living out of that?
What really surprised me was how strange my paintings are anyway. To me, it's like, "Let's paint some portraits and some objects. Don't make it weird, just make it dead straight," but it's still weird. I don't know why. I guess it's just the way I see things.
I think I've always been a fighter in a healthy way.
So this is one of those times when life is just handing you something, telling you what to do, which way to go. So enjoy it. It'll be fun. I guarantee. I can't guarantee we'll find the goddamn thing, but it'll be interesting. Then if we do find it - if we do- the payoff's huge.
Blankets on the other hand are incredibly needy as they are always trying to fill a “void”. Are a bit whorish in that the instant you walk away from them in less than a minute they’ll be all over someone else, and the moment you actually need them they’re nowhere to be found.
