Usually, my rhymes are just in my head. I start off with a theme, and once I start rapping and writing and singing, the chorus and all that, it just starts flowing. Then it’s done in about an hour! I write a lot of songs.
I wasn’t the class clown. I wasn’t that obvious. There would be a circle of guys, and they’re watching the class clown. And I’m standing in the back, and I turn to the guy next to me and I say something funny to him, and he starts to laugh. And the guy next to him says, ‘What did he say?’
Filmmaking is finding a piece of granite and you start to chip away and then you have the shape of a head, the shape of the arm, you can see the shape of the face and the face starts to gather character. You have to find it.
I walked the streets of New York; I would feel the presence of Daredevil. I would see him up on the rooftop. What you are doing in your life, you start to see in your book. It all starts to merge together.

I’m as addicted to ‘Power’ as I am ‘Empire.’ I’m just grateful. We get a chance to have two phenomenal shows that we can enjoy. So when ‘Empire’ is over, ‘Power’ starts. When ‘Power’ is over, ‘Empire’ starts.
Art is a subjective thing, and it should be a subjective thing. And the difficulty of subjectivity is that it becomes hugely problematized when you start applying large sums of money to art objects. That’s where it all starts to get a bit sticky.
I know Charlie Kaufman really well, for instance. Charlie Kaufman starts a story, and he has no freaking idea where he’s going. None. Zero. And he doesn’t want to know, because there’s a little bit of death in that.
We have to stand up for what we believe in, even when we might not be popular for it. Honesty starts with being ourselves, authentic and true to who we are and what we believe in, and that may not always be popular, but it will always let you follow your dreams and your heart.

It’s cool when your husband starts to sing some old Merle Haggard song and I can pop in with a harmony and it doesn’t sound too bad.
I shout at the radio when someone starts talking over the end of a song. Shut up! I don’t want to hear that the DJ has just found a mouldy sandwich in the corner of the studio. Nor do I like it when the magic of something you’re watching is shattered by an advert for Argos.
I wake up in the morning and my mind starts making sentences, and I have to get rid of them fast – talk them or write them down.
At ‘SNL’ there’s framed pictures of all the cast members, and it starts with Dan Aykroyd. It’s linear. It just keeps going through all these people, and then you’re at the end of it.
I’m just saying the producers and people who work on music are getting left out – that’s when it starts getting criminal. It’s like you’re working hard, and you’re not receiving. In any other business, people would be standing before Congress. They have antitrust laws against this kind of behavior.
I took a very small image and blew it up to enormous scale. What happens when you do that is that the information in the image starts to become indistinct. The image darkens.
A man either lives life as it happens to him, meets it head-on and licks it, or he turns his back on it and starts to wither away.
We get these overzealous young men and their girlfriends. It’s happened occasionally where one of them will lean up against the front of the stage and the guy is behind her, and it starts off as just dancing and then it gets into something more.
When you work so much in between starts, you realize how long the season is. It’s exciting to look at and be a part of, obviously. It’s almost like a challenge, to see how, from start to start, things may feel a little differently.
What you wear – and it always starts with your shoes – determines what kind of character you are. A woman who wears high heels carries herself very different to a girl who wears sneakers or sandals. It really helps determine how you carry yourself.

I was brought up with a very strong sense of what can happen if your society starts to chip away at the small victories women have won for themselves.
When I watch video, I try to watch the good starts so I can see how my mechanics are in those. Every once in a while, I’ll look at video starts that I struggled, and sometimes in those, there is no mechanical problems; it’s just, didn’t have good stuff that day.
I’m a big believer in creating parameters for creativity. I think parameters make people more creative. So that starts with my budgets. I only do low budget movies, and I think that makes the movies better.
‘Sin Nombre’ was almost like the adolescent version of ‘Jane Eyre.’ ‘Jane Eyre’ sort of picks up where ‘Sin Nombre’ ends. It’s about this girl who starts off on her own at her lowest point of despair, and she figures out how she got there.
I’m not one of those kind of people who does the observational ‘Hey, don’t you hate it when you’re at the grocery store and the line’s long and the cash register starts taking too long.’ I don’t really do that kind of stuff. I’m heavy on persona, and I do a lot of interacting with the audience.
I do not think about formations too often. It is the easiest thing to recognize and to see on the pitch, but when the game starts is when things start to get weird.
My average day on ‘Leverage’ starts at 5 A. M. and ends 12 to 14 hours later. An hour drive to the set and back sometimes makes the day unbearably long. You have to grab a few minutes to yourself where you can.
When you’re in the editing room, the dangerous thing is that it becomes like telling a joke again and again and again. Eventually, the joke starts to not be funny. So you have to be careful that you’re not throwing the baby out with the bath water.
If you’re not comfortable with public speaking – and nobody starts out comfortable; you have to learn how to be comfortable – practice. I cannot overstate the importance of practicing. Get some close friends or family members to help evaluate you, or somebody at work that you trust.
I don’t even know why I’m saying this in an interview situation, but I always feel like I’m not good enough for some reason. I wish that wasn’t the case, but left to my own devices, that voice starts speaking up.

When, who, and what things happen to becomes meaningful, then what happens starts to matter, and play can evoke strong emotions, fierce and ongoing urges to succeed, and a desire to leave a mark, drive meaningful change, or build lasting institutions.

There is no fool like a careless gambler who starts taking victory for granted.
I’m a bit hesitant to do anything because I’m actually kind of lazy and I’d like an easier life from now on. The world’s a massive place with lots of early mornings and late starts when you’re working.
Inevitably any series that goes on too long will reach a point where it starts struggling for ideas, so I’ve always been really aware of getting out while the going’s good.
All personal achievement starts in the mind of the individual. Your personal achievement starts in your mind. The first step is to know exactly what your problem, goal or desire is.
All the foods that you regularly eat are ones that you learned to eat. Everyone starts life drinking milk. After that, it’s all up for grabs. From our first year of life, human tastes are astonishingly diverse.
