So the first thing that I thought about was, ‘How is this car going to handle?’ But then after I’d been driving with it and practicing with it and I accomplished that, then I just kind of sat back.
You can’t just copy someone. There are so many different styles that you can just kind of pick and choose whatever it is you’d like to do.
But I think what Liam said just kind of hit it spot on, that the people in the capital are brainwashed and such a disconnect with what’s actually happening. They don’t realize what if it was their kids that were being put into the games? They just don’t have the mindset to have that kind of compassion for people.
No matter what you do in the offseason, you can’t simulate putting spikes on and standing in the grass and being around your teammates. When you’re around your teammates, you step it up a notch. It’s just kind of instinctive you do that.
It seems like there are two worlds out there – one that has revolved around ‘Breaking Bad,’ and then the one that I’ve been in, which just kind of observes it from afar.
I swim all the time at night – I’ve always been a water girl. It’s a black-bottom pool and my pool light was out, and as I’ve done a thousand times I just kind of did a little seal dive. I saw a huge bright light and I literally thought, ‘That’s it.’
You just kind of deal with it. Manage it. Do what you can do, but when it hit my hamstring, it was something I couldn’t control and something I couldn’t play through.
You know, it looks like I have a varied resume or a varied career, that I’ve made interesting choices, when the truth of the matter is, in a way I’ve just kind of piece-mealed a career together, you know?
I went to really good New York City public schools that had arts programs. So in junior high, I got into the drama department. From there, I went to a performing arts high school in New York City called Laguardia and I just kind of fell into the professional side by happenstance.
I’m protective kind of aggressive, a caring personality. I guess it’s just kind of who I am naturally, once I get to really know somebody.
Actually, I wanted to play baseball. Honestly, I just think with a kid developing, playing a lot of sports, it’s just kind of whatever you’re good at.
I often play characters on TV shows that are more sweet and naive and just kind of puppy-dog eyes, and I don’t think I am like that as a person.
It was more that his career was going down again and he was tired of the songs. He was tired of the routine. And there was a point where he just kind of gave up. He couldn’t face being 40. And he resorted to stimulants. There’s a dark side there, a really dark side.
I don’t think I’m a great songwriter, but I think I’ve learned a lot about it, and I don’t think there’s any one way to do it. I don’t think I can control it at all. I can just kind of hope that it happens.
I really don’t consider myself a man or a woman. I just kind of float in between and that’s how I’ve always felt.
But I don’t know. Pee-wee just kind of popped out one day, pretty much fully fleshed-out and fully formed.
I’m not doing Pulitzer Prize work where I’m unearthing major negative stories about the UFC or some big controversies. It’s just kind of day-to-day fodder.
I grew up in the public eye from the age of 15 and it wasn’t a choice I made, it just kind of got imposed on me because of who my dad is.
I’m a video game enthusiast. I love video games! They were a huge part of my upbringing in their early form, when I was all about ‘Dig Dug’ and ‘River Raid.’ As they evolved, so did my music-making, and we just kind of grew up together like cool friends.
As we play, I just kind of make the best decision and try to move the chains.
I’m in East L.A., like Mount Washington, Highland Park. There’s a little strip that they’re gentrifying, trying to make a hip spot, but you go there, and it’s just kind of barren. Nobody hangs out anywhere in L.A. There’s no loitering in L.A., so I don’t know what to do with myself.
There’s a certain kind of motion and pacing that our music has, and this just doesn’t have that. We just kind of rushed to the conclusion of most of the songs. I just would’ve preferred to done them over.
Imagination is a pretty powerful thing, and when you’re in the moment and you’re riding a train and you’re asked to look scared, I don’t know, it just kind of works out. And in those moments where you’re actually doing some of the stunts, then it’s not so hard at all, because there’s an actual fear there.
Jerry Springer’ is just kind of the chubby, redneck version of throwing Christians to the lions.
I was terrified of vault, like literally I hated it. I had a fear of running as fast as I could at a solid object, which is I think a normal fear to have because nobody would really want to do that. Once I got over the fear of running into the table I just kind of relaxed and now it’s like autopilot. I love it.
It’s easy to show terrible people’s behavior on screen, and we all just kind of nod and go, ‘Isn’t that terrible.’ It’s more interesting when you can show terrible behavior in the interest of something good.
I never had any technical training. I never considered that, one day, I’m going to be Beyonce like a lot of girls aspire to be. It just kind of happened.
I have a theory that there are still parts of our mental worlds that are still based around the age of between five and eight, and we just kind of pretend to be grown-up.
We each have our own style but yeah, when you boil it down like there are certain things that human beings just are predisposed to laugh at and we’re just kind of all putting our own spin on it.
It’s fun for me to play people that are just kind of odd.
I’m a very visual thinker, so the characters are running through my head, doing what they’re doing when I’m writing them. And there’ll be moments where I’ll just kind of throw a look off to the side as if I’m talking to one of the characters. It’s always been something that I’ve had with me since I was a little kid.
The drive to create music that is pure is my highest priority. Sometimes I’ll get extremely technical, and other times I’ll just kind of go with the gods of music.
I don’t really plan anything in my life, to be honest. I just kind of go with it: whatever comes comes.
I never really thought about pursuing singing because my whole life was about dance and singing just kind of came with it.
I made my way in this league playing special teams and then kind of worked my way into playing receiver. It was always just kind of doing whatever I could do and taking advantage of all the opportunities that I got.
