First of all, what in this world does not revolve around money? But money is a big part of film, unlike a lot of other art forms.

Judaism is a big part of my background, obviously, and my reality.
I actually sing horribly, but I used to dance pretty good. I was a gymnast, and you can usually use those gymnastic tricks with dance. Plus, they’re so much fun to do. That wasn’t really a big part of my career. It was just a phase.
Well, there’s that beautiful quote about Loki from the comics, which is that he’s the god of outcasts, and I think he said ‘They see themselves in me, and I in them.’ I think that’s a big part of why I love Loki, but also, you know, he is isolated.

Meatloaf was a pretty big part of our family, and the meatloaf sandwiches were even more.
My uncle who helped in a big part of raising me from when I was young, had moved from California, and would just tell me these legendary stories of these motorcycle clubs that he was around and that he used to ride with.
I was really only around country music on the radio, and I think because I grew up so close to Atlanta, and R&B was such a big part of that culture, by proximity I think a lot of that music influenced me without knowing it.
When I have downtime, music is a big part of my life. Not so much singing, but I play the guitar.

What I’ve learned is I want to enjoy my life, and food is a big part of it.
Both social engineering and technical attacks played a big part in what I was able to do. It was a hybrid. I used social engineering when it was appropriate, and exploited technical vulnerabilities when it was appropriate.
My mom was an amazing singer and music was a big part of my life, so I grew up listening to Nat King Cole, Johnny Mathis, Henry Mancini; I used to watch ‘The Andy Williams Show’ on TV. I was very musical, so I was watching stuff that most kids my age wouldn’t be interested in.
Now my dad is with me, traveling with me and a big part of this whole thing is I like to mix it up a little bit, you know. Who gets to take their father on a private jet across the country and stay in first class hotels? So we’re enjoying it, but I’d stop if it’s not possible.
A big part of what kept me focused on the music was already failing with basketball. I played basketball all of my life. When basketball didn’t work, I knew that I had to make it in whatever I decided to do next.
I was on ‘Desperate Housewives’ and that was my crash course on being on national television topless. Also, I do what I can in between scenes: push-ups, a little free weights. I knew going in it would be a big part of the show.
Once I started realizing I could lose people at the line of scrimmage, and essentially run a route on air. I figured that that was the way to go. So I just put a lot into that, and obviously I made it a big part of who I am as a football player.
Music is where I’m still. It’s where I’m focused. It’s such a joy. I’d like to make it a big part of my life.

Food was a big part of our family gatherings, but it was usually pasta. We didn’t eat that well. Everything was home-made but not much veg or fruit.
Being Mormon is a big part of who I am, and I try very hard to live the right way, but I don’t know that I’m an example. I hate to say, ‘Yes, look at me. I’m a good example of being Mormon.’ I want to be the best person I can be, so in that aspect, maybe I’m a good example.
This big part flies off on the floor. The other part goes like this and lands in my foot! Standing up! It’s standing in my foot! Right in the side of my foot. The flute glass. I think I’m like in one of my own pictures.
When I read books, I actually really love imagining whomever I want to in the character’s role. I get such vivid pictures on my own that that is a big part of the experience for me.

I have three kids, so children’s literature is a big part of my life.
The family farm plays such a big part in my life and I genuinely love going back there. In some ways I’d like to spend every day there, but there would be a big hole in my life if I didn’t stay involved in cricket.
Tell a story. You don’t have to do a thousand things in two minutes when you can do one just as good and still tell that story with your face or how you land or your reaction. That’s a lost art. Storytelling is a big part of our industry, and if given time, you can do it properly.
A big part of leadership is just being comfortable with the fact that some decisions really are only yours.

To be honest, makeup is a big part of what I do for a living.
I admire someone like Beyonce. She has amazing commitment. I needed to accept that I probably did not fit into that forum. Doing that ‘The Cherry Thing’ record was a big part of finding that place where I belong, where I may shine, but I never doubted it was there.
I have had four great years at Everton. The fans have been brilliant with me from the day I signed until the day I left. I am proud that the club will always be a big part of my career.
