You have record companies that sign acts that they think are great, and then they never do anything. Acts that they don’t think are really going to do much end up having a career. I don’t think anyone really knows what it is that drives somebody to get on their computer and want to download a song.
I did sign to Ruthless Records, but they didn’t really support me.
There’s the Hollywood sign; there’s Griffith Observatory; there’s the great, amazing Los Angeles Basin. It’s 465 square miles of insanity and the best food on the planet.
I would love to sign on to do a movie if it was the right role and if it was the right script, because I would be taking time away from music to tell a big grand story, and spend all of my time and pouring all of my emotions into being someone else.

With everybody having a Facebook and a Twitter, I feel like regular people consider themselves stars.

When you know everything about somebody, you can talk to them any way you please.
I’m a first-time father, and it was amazing to me to learn that my son could actually use sign language before the spoken word. I could see this intelligence in his eyes before he could speak: how he could understand what was going on around him and was frustrated by that.
I’ve got a basketball signed by all the greats from Julius Irving to Oscar Robinson. It was at an All Star game I got them all to sign it. So that ain’t going nowhere. I’m going to die with that in my casket.

We still lend our old house out to relatives. They keep a guest book for my fans to sign.

I’m interested in seeing artists whom I respect who are very focused on the Black Lives Matter moment, bringing that into storytelling in a way that really amplifies the beauty and the humanity of people of color, and does it without having to wave a big sign that says, ‘This is what we’re doing.’
‘Shell Shocked’ is so different from what people are used to hearing from Ty Dolla Sign.

I wanted to dismantle the bollocks that there’s a military structure to a gang, with a leader, second leader, the good looking one, first babe, second babe. It’s far more arbitrary than that and their values shouldn’t be romanticised. They aren’t something you want to sign up to.
Also, I think having that comic gene kind of makes you look at things in a different way. If you take yourself so seriously, eventually you end up one of those people having a ‘Do Not Disturb’ sign on their lives. You see them drawing the curtains and they don’t even realize that they’ve kind of drifted off somewhere.

It’s kind of interesting when you sign on to a show because you’re basically signing on to play a character because you only really see the first episode of the show.

I was never the class clown or put on shows at home. I never thought of acting as something I could do with my life. When I was a kid, I used to run around wrapped in toilet paper so I could be the Mummy. But that wasn’t a sign that I was dreaming of being an actor. I was just an odd child.
Good rom-coms have some reflection of the way things are, the sign of the times.

I was cast in ‘Thor’ and I’m cast as a Nordic god. If you know anything about the Nords, they don’t look like me but there you go. I think that’s a sign of the times for the future. I think we will see multi-level casting. I think we will see that, and I think that’s good.
That doesn’t necessarily mean they have to have an explicit proposal that they put forward that all Democrats sign up to, but I think they need to throw some ideas out that, at least directionally, point the way forward.

One tell-tale sign of a Wingnut: they always confuse partisanship with patriotism.
I had five years of failure, really, before I had the first initial sign of success.

First of all, when I was making the decision, I never thought that Pittsburgh fans would want me back. Every time I played there, they were booing me every time I touched the puck. I didn’t think it would be such a big deal that I didn’t sign with Pittsburgh.
