I expect that it won’t be an easy road once ‘The L Word’ is over, but I’m gonna do everything in my power during my time off to do other things that show another side of me.
At 17, I went to Stanford University to study engineering. My time was occupied with the required reading and the extracurricular duties of managing the baseball and football teams and earning my way.
I was at college doing performing arts, and just spending all my time mucking about, and the lecturers thought I would be pretty good at stand-up, so I gave it a whirl.
Being in the hospice didn’t work out exactly the way I had expected. By all rights, I should have finished my time here in mid-March 2006 – at least, that’s when Medicare stopped paying.
I was writing and I have three kids. I was occupying my time with them but it was difficult.
It’s not the moment yet for me to enjoy my time as an actor, and as the time goes by, I feel that I need to push myself harder to pay back for all the good fortune that I have received.
I take conscious breaks for myself ’cause I like to rejuvenate and get my creative juices flowing. I also like to take my time with my creativity; I think it’s important.
The kitchen was the center of our household. I spent all of my time there growing up.
I guess probably in my time in politics, it continued to be affirmed to me that the African-American community, despite being subscription television’s most valuable customers, they are very underserved by cable and satellite television programming options.
I spend a lot of my time trying to draw the attention of actors to the minute and subtle details of human behavior, which was the sort of thing I was looking at when I was a neurologist.
I’ve gotten tons of awards and I believe when it’s my time to get a Grammy, I’ll get a Grammy.
One of the great advantages of my time spent in movies and in basically every role possible, both in front of the camera and behind the camera, that I’ve gotten to see all these different ways that people work and the way movies are constructed from the inside out, from beginning to end.
I probably spend 90% of my time revising what I’ve written.
I’ve never told anyone this before, but I’m an obsessive-compulsive. I go back to my hotel room every evening and put the coat hangers back in order and open my bag and rearrange it. It takes a lot of my time, but if I don’t do it I can’t sleep.
I spent all my time on my movies worried that people were eating and that the schedule was being kept, so to have experts in those areas giving me the brain space as a writer and director is huge.
I feel like it does get busier professionally, but personally, I think I choose how I spend my time more carefully, so it balances it out in that sense.
Winning is never enough, and I’ve got to try and do it as much as I can before my time is over.
I started doing stand up when I was 19. Because I was underage at the time, at certain clubs I would be forced to wait outside until it was my time to go on stage. Then I would do my set, walk off, and be kicked out again.
If I had my time again and was able to change one thing from my career then I wouldn’t have retired. I would have played for Wales longer.
