You know, you grow up with the image of John Travolta being super cool – ‘Saturday Night Fever,’ Brian De Palma, handsome young god… he, in reality, is a very silly man. And I mean that in a good way. He’ll walk around the set talking in little weird voices, making people laugh.
I didn’t believe in marriage; I thought it was a silly concept before I met Matt.
I guess my silly dream is to be on ‘Game of Thrones.’ I don’t think that I can do that, but that’s my silly dream. And there are a lot of American comedies, particularly on NBC, that I would, I would love to do.

When I was in Vegas, people asked, ‘Did you ever regret not going to SMU?’ What? I’m in Vegas. I’m on TV every Saturday. I’m winning titles. Did I regret it? That’s a silly question.

Why does everyone think they need to be a star? It’s ridiculous. The celebrity culture is so silly, and the fact that people grow up thinking that it’s something to aspire to just seems wrong. I don’t mean to bash my life. I love my life; I just think it’s not the only way to go.

I’m interested in non-fiction, but a form of it which is very badly behaved, which doesn’t define itself as straight-ahead journalism or memoir. It blurs boundaries, plays fast and loose with the truth – not to be silly, whimsical or lazy, but to get greater purchase on what it feels like to be alive.
Everyone thinks these are self-portraits but they aren’t meant to be. I just use myself as a model because I know I can push myself to extremes, make each shot as ugly or goofy or silly as possible.

If you think about 2Pac, Biggie, and Nas, all of those guys were teenagers or in their early 20s when they got started. Everybody acts like young people have to be silly and lack perspective. Those guys had incredible perspective, and everything that they said was before 25 years old.
There’s a difference between delivering real funny and just silly funny.
I am from Des Moines, Iowa – not even the city but out in the country. I don’t have a lot of trappings, I think, in my personality. I’m just a simple person with a silly bone.
There are a lot of people across the country, for as silly as this sounds, who obsess about hair loss.

Everybody’s got a silly side in them.

I’ve never been to Hollywood. I can count the number of times I’ve been to Los Angeles on my hands. I’ve never made a movie there and I’ve never been there for working reasons. The only reason to go there is for silly awards shows.
I know it sounds silly, but in auditions for film or TV, the words aren’t as important – you need to get into the character and have the gist of the scene. But in theater, if you don’t do it word for word, then you throw off your scene partner.
I’m a silly guy.
With fashion, my mother was an icon, but she never lived it in the sense that she was never obsessed with fashion. When I was a young girl, my sister wasn’t doing fashion, so I started fashion thinking, ‘I’m going to do something that they haven’t done yet.’ That was my silly scheme at the time.
