When I was recording music, I’d record all the parts myself, and I wouldn’t let other people in; that’s essentially what Blood Orange is the result of; me trying to find the most comfortable I can be with everything.
People do give me a hard time about my hair because it’s orange and it’s big.
I take inspiration from so many places. I think, more than anything, it would have to be the music made by others that I’ve then fallen in love with, whether it’s Madonna, Blood Orange, Fleetwood Mac, or Pink Floyd!
George Lucas was casting about and had heard favourable things about my work in Clockwork Orange and asked me to come in, which of course I did even though no one knew what the film was about!
I still got a lot of love for the Broncos. I still bleed orange and blue.
I love Jo Malone. I got the Orange Blossom scent as a gift many years ago, and I fell in love with it. It’s very light, natural, sweet. It’s there but not that obvious.
I used to go to Cold Stone Creamery, get a tub of Butterfinger ice cream, and eat it all before bedtime. And my fingers were permanently stained orange from Cheetos.
I don’t work very hard. I dye myself orange and I read out loud in the months from September to December when ‘Strictly’ is on.
So many people know about the dangers of sunbeds but when you have a busy active lifestyle you need a product that you can use quickly and doesn’t streak or leave you with orange hands.
I do quite a lot of art, with a small ‘a’. I guess that is how I was dredged up, with paints and crayons. Even when I was at nursery, I knew instinctively how to mix colours, how to make purple or orange.
Orange Is the New Black’ is the womanliest TV show that has ever existed. It doesn’t merely pass the Bechdel test, it gets all As and goes straight to Oxbridge, even though it’s only three years old.
I was in New York doing musicals in the theater and on Broadway before ‘Orange,’ so people always ask, ‘Are you ever going to get to sing? Does she even sing?’ But people who know me know I actually do sing.
I know all about Orange County.
My team fills two separate drink bottles for me in the car. One is water, and the other has orange juice. I just turn a valve and go from water to juice… to adjust my glucose levels.
I remember when I first came out on tour, it was Greg Norman and Nick Price. We forget how big Norman was, what a presence he was. I remember one of my first tournaments, Greg threw an orange peel down on the ground and some fan ran over and grabbed it. ‘This is Greg Norman’s orange peel!’
I remember wearing a mix of orange and yellow color salwar kameez for my first Kannada film, Maharaja.’ It looked absolutely hideous and it was very embarrassing for me to sport that outfit.
My brother shaved a cricket bat out of a coconut branch… we played cricket with anything we put our hands on – a hard orange, a lime, a marble – anything we could use in the backyard or the streets.
I didn’t have any look or any style in prison. Your footwear couldn’t cost more than $50. You can’t wear blue, orange, gray, any patterns, or you couldn’t wear your hair down. There were just so many rules that coincided with your attire.
Focus on making you the best you you can be as an actor and follow your own path. You can’t compare an apple to an orange. It will cause a lot of self-esteem issues.
In 1957, ‘West Side Story’ had introduced the musical to the reckless dark side of teen-age life; ‘Bye Bye Birdie,’ set in Sweet Apple, Ohio, where the citizens apparently dress mostly in chartreuse, mauve, orange, periwinkle, and turquoise, was a walk on the bright side.
I went on a school trip aged 13 around the Mediterranean on a Second World War ship. Seeing lemon trees and orange groves at that age was amazing.
I guess, after a race, I’m just trying to get all my fluids back in my system – we use a lot of fluids when we get out and race. My dad always does this thing he calls ‘juicing’ – tomato juice, apple juice, orange juice – doesn’t matter what it is, just go ahead and juice your body right back up.
It’s kind of low brow, but the show ‘Bob’s Burgers’ is hilarious, and being from the Midwest, I can kind of relate to a lot of the jokes. ‘Orange is The New Black’ is a Netflix Exclusive, I think – that’s really funny.
At first, my bedroom had flowers and yellow walls and huge furniture in plastic that was orange and green – and furry green bed cover and everything. Then, I think the day I turned 13, I painted the walls black and put Kurt Cobain on the wall and just changed everything into a dark theme.
You know what ends up on the markdown racks? All the weird colors. Guys don’t wear orange or citron.
I have one of the most beautiful places in the world in Orange County. That’s a great place to live.
I really like the Budda head with a big Orange cabinet with Celestion 30 speakers and my ’63 Fender Telecaster.
There’s nothing sexy about Orange County.
I spent my childhood clad in 1970s hand-me-downs, primarily from male cousins, which mainly consisted of a selection of beige, brown and orange dungarees. That, combined with a perfectly round pudding-bowl haircut, made me look, on a good day, like a cross between Ann Widdecombe, one of the Flower Pot Men, and a monk.
Latinos, Asians, African-Americans, women – we’re all trying to find our place in this world of cinema and television and theater. And the great thing with comedy is that most of the time, you could be orange. It doesn’t matter, as long you’re funny.
I saw ‘A Clockwork Orange’ when I was 11. When you watch ‘Clockwork Orange’ at 11, it either totally scares you from watching movies, or you want to become a filmmaker. I was the latter.
I personally wear a lot of earth tones – does that make me boring? I don’t know. I do like a pop of color, like red shoes or a bright orange jacket.
I related to ‘A Clockwork Orange’ in a personal way. I was a bit of a thug growing up. It’s taken some reform for me. Thank God for artistry and creativity as an outlet.
Maybe an orange card could be shown that sees a player go out of the game for 10 minutes for incidents that are not heavy enough for a red card.
California is a great place to live if you’re an orange.
When you look at the Earth’s horizon and see the thickness of the atmosphere, it’s not even the thickness of an orange peel.
I’ll definitely wear orange on the red carpet!
I actually found CrossFit on a run from my house in Orange County. I moved around with it for a while, which is the best part about it. I love it, but it was something I did because I enjoyed the camaraderie aspect of it, not so much the competing side of it.
A lot of stand-up comedy is embarrassing: too many idiots doing it in orange neckties against brick walls. I find most sitcoms embarrassing, too, because they seem so forced.
Watching something like ‘Orange is the New Black’ – the development of the characters is amazing. Or ‘Breaking Bad’ or ‘Mad Men’ – those shows went on for so long. You become so invested in those characters, and I think that’s a pretty magic thing.
‘ Shoes’ is very pink and yellow, and maybe orange, very bright, whereas ‘Midnight Moonlight’ is purple and blue and – I don’t know – gray.
I didn’t do ‘Orange’ because I knew it was good. I wanted to do this because it feels good. And I just knew that was the place I needed, wanted to be.
