It’s part of, I guess, one of the harder parts about coaching is you have to make some tough decisions.
I took one thing to heart that I heard from Sidney Poitier in ‘Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner.’ And it resonated so much with me. He says: ‘Dad, you always looked at yourself as a black man. I look at myself as a man.’
Economic medicine that was previously meted out by the cupful has recently been dispensed by the barrel. These once unthinkable dosages will almost certainly bring on unwelcome after-effects. Their precise nature is anyone’s guess, though one likely consequence is an onslaught of inflation.
For me, I guess the main motivation is the satisfaction of finally understanding some tricky mathematical concept or phenomenon and then explaining it to others.
I guess I look like a rock quarry that someone has dynamited.
Holding those two identities of being gay and Asian have, I guess, made my skin a little thicker.
What snowboarding has always had and the Olympics has not touched is that spirit, that original spirit of creativity and athletes standing up and having a voice and being innovative. But I guess what the Olympics has done is provided a platform for that spirit, and that’s what I see as being a really positive thing.
I guess I’m way too kind and generous, and a saint – if you can believe that!
Chelsea Morning is a great Joni Mitchell song and I guess I’m partial to her lyrics because they show me a slightly different perspective on life.
I really took filmmaking very seriously… It was an honor and then a crutch also, because at a young age, I was like, I guess I’m a serious filmmaker. I never set out to be a serious filmmaker. I just set out to make movies.
I’d guess that 80 percent of the people who work for Playboy are feminists.
I’m an actor. And I guess I’ve done so many movies I’ve achieved some high visibility. But a star? I guess I still think of myself as kind of a worker ant.
There’s something really fun about being scared, and I guess that was at least part of why I wanted to film certain scenes from my new book, ‘Skeleton Creek.’
Life’s not fair, I guess.
It’s her first grandchild, so she’s really, really, really excited. I guess my mom is a little more stressed out than me.
I guess if I get a little weird about something that isn’t the way I want it, and I complain, then it’s called controlling.
I just work 18 hours a day, every day. And I don’t go on holidays. And so, I guess I will die young.
As soon as I was tall enough, my dad used to let me drive him 60 miles or 70 miles to work. That was pretty fun. My dad was really old. At the time, he was 82 years old. He said, ‘Can you drive?’ and I said ‘Yes.’ I guess I didn’t find it to be that crazy.
I grew up in Saudi Arabia and India and Cyprus, and I lived in a war-zone myself, and, I mean, I had a pretty bizarre, I guess, nomadic childhood, and so I was really drawn to international relations and political science.
I guess because it feels more open, but I think being married is way sexier, because it’s really like your soul partner in a permanent fashion, and then you strive for it to be something permanent, and that type of commitment and trust, if you can achieve it, is so good for the soul.
I guess we’d be living in a boring, perfect world if everybody wished everybody else well.
So I’m not very popular here with those inside the system, as you might guess. I never wanted to be.
As soon as I go into a dark subject, like discussing the people I’ve loved and lost, I off-road into absurdist comedy perversion. It’s both a means of protection and a kind of denial, a blessing and a curse. Wait, it’s not a blessing at all. I guess it would be a bad habit and a curse.
I’m something of a foodie, I guess, and I’m a big Chinese food fan.
I figured out, I guess, that the job just makes me happy if it’s not number one. So if it all works, great. If it doesn’t, I still go home, look at my kids, and I have a big smile on my face.
Ultimately, I’m not doing that much. I’m only doing what a human being who feels wants to do – in my way, without stepping out of my flow, while staying in my lane. Without, I guess, boring people.
Yes, it’s true, I’ve been called the Laurence Olivier of spoofs. I guess that would make Laurence Olivier the Leslie Nielsen of Shakespeare.
I’m way more attracted to character stuff and darker roles. It’s just my personality, I guess.
I guess funny people are attracted to funny people, and then you get comedy marriages.
Voice actors I used to know who were starting out in comedy were guys who did a lot of voices. They were usually comedy actors who developed their comedy by doing tons of impressions and voices that were usually very funny. And I never did any of that, so that’s, I guess, why I don’t consider myself a voice actor.
I can honestly say that I am open to love in any way. I guess that makes me bisexual.
My family keeps me sane. I try to talk to my mum every other day. After I get off the phone, I have a renewed sense of clarity, so I guess a problem shared is a problem lost. It’s important to me to keep them close.
I guess I was just always one of those guys who asked those fundamental questions: ‘Who am I? What’s this for? Why? What does this mean? Is this real?’ All these pretty basic questions. I like making movies about people who are self-conscious in that way, and are trying to feel their way through the world.
It is, from another angle, an attack on requiring proof in philosophy. And it’s also the case, I guess, that my temperament is to like interesting, new, bold ideas, and to try and generate them.
Looking back on high school, I just remember specific scenarios and thinking, wow, that was such a big deal at the time, but right now it feels like it never even happened. So I guess if I can give any advice, I would just say that everything will pass, and it’ll feel like it was a big deal over nothing.
I wonder if I ever thought of an ideal reader… I guess when I was in my 20s and in New York and maybe even in my early 30s, I would write for my wife Janice… mainly for my poet friends and my wife, who was very smart about poetry.
I guess I had what you could call an unconventional upbringing.
Before getting meningitis, I was such a hypochondriac, worrying about the slightest ache. Ironically, I overlooked meningitis because the symptoms seemed like flu. I guess you don’t realise how healthy you are until it is taken away from you.
If my clothing does stand out, then I guess it’s a compliment, but I just wear whatever feels comfortable.
My grandma, Nai Nai, has had the clothes she wants to be buried prepared since she was like 60. I guess there is an openness to discussing. It’s part of life. It’s part of the every day.
I’m an American songbook guy, though I’ve got eclectic tastes. I really love the American songbook. I’ve taken up the ukulele, and so you can play ‘Five Foot Two’ and Hawaiian music, but you can also do some of the great tunes, like ‘You Go to My Head,’ ‘I Guess I’ll Hang My Tears Out to Dry,’ ‘Taking a Chance on Love.’
All my artistic response comes from American things, and I guess I’ve always had a weakness for heroic imagery.
I guess I feel very strongly that I disagree with the notion of personalizing history and movements and big events.
I guess I’m kind of used to it because it’s always been that way for me.
It’s too easy to do your own site to not have one these days. I guess everyone has one.
I don’t dwell on it. But I guess everybody hopes that they go in their sleep and that it won’t be long and painful.
I went to school, but they didn’t give you too much schooling because just as soon as you was big enough, you get to working in the fields. I guess I was a big boy for my age.
