You know, I’ve done this show for six years, and this could be the first time that I had a person that actually got no points, and I think it’s a damn fine way to go out. I thought I was a loser until you walked up here; you made me feel like a man.
Neal Stephenson is great. He can write about a white wall for six pages, and it sounds fascinating. I read the whole ‘Baroque Cycle’ and ‘Cryptonomicon.’
I run 50-70 miles a week and lift five or six days. It’s my time.
I sang ‘Nessun Dorma’ twice with Pavarotti, and he told me he’d heard ‘Smoke’ about five or six times, and every time was different. He was so jealous because if he deviated one jot from the traditional interpretation of the famous arias, he’d be crucified. We have the freedom.
My mother was always in those films where it’s the end of the world and a meteor’s about to hit London; there’s only six people left, and one of them’s in purple underwear. That was always my mother, running from this meteor in purple underwear and spraining her ankle.
I’ve just been more interested in doing film right now and I don’t want to go away from my family for six months, which was what I would have had to have done if I did the play on Broadway.
I used to watch the world as if it was a performance and I would realize that certain things that people did moved me, and certain things didn’t move me, and I tried to analyze, even at that age, six and seven and eight, why I was moved by certain things they did.
If I had killed Crow off I can think of least six novels I would never have written, 400,000 words’ worth of very necessary experience.

Golf is a game in which you yell ‘fore,’ shoot six, and write down five.
I was singing about six notes higher than I had to, in a range that kept me up in a bubblegum sound.
Ask five economists and you’ll get five different answers – six if one went to Harvard.
My father was an army officer who left the forces when I was six and never really fitted back into civilian life. My mother had five children and a mother with Alzheimer’s, who lived with us, so I imagined that she had a lot to do.
‘Ten Years Later’ is about the journey six extraordinary people take with time. Each has experienced a game-changing event – perhaps a life-threatening illness or a catastrophic personal loss.

There’s always the standard six people you can hire that have played all these villains in Hollywood. Instinctively, when they come on screen, you know what’s going to happen. You don’t know the story, but you know what they do.
Women desire six things: They want their husbands to be brave, wise, rich, generous, obedient to wife, and lively in bed.
For six months I’d do movies and make it all about me. Then the other six months, it’s not about me and it doesn’t matter what my hair looks like or what anything looks like.

You know, I come from six generations of college graduates.
I asked my parents for permission to study in America and they were so sure that I wouldn’t get in and get a scholarship that they encouraged me to try. So I applied to Yale and got an excellent scholarship. I then worked for the Boston Consulting Group for six and half years.
I’d like to go away for six months and learn to kiteboard and windsurf. I love pinochle, I love chess and I love windsurfing.
I often go on a liquid fast a couple of days a week. I never take just water. Instead, I’ll have maybe six glasses of vegetable and fruit juices a day.
I go out with my band six months of the year and the rest of them with the Blues Brothers.
One thing that was amazing about World War II was that everybody signed up for the duration plus six months. Fliers got to leave combat after 25 missions, or 35 missions, but other than that, you were in it. You were part of the great effort, until, oh boy, six months after it was over.
I felt perhaps ‘The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo’ was a little premature. It was a huge hit around the world – it was still running in the theatres – and the Americans at that time were already shooting the remake, and I was like, ‘Whoa! Give it a break of five or six years and get a little inspired, and then do it.’
You know, that’s kind of the thing, I can’t freestyle and I used to always wonder why I couldn’t, and when I would try once out of every six months, but I was always a great writer!
I was Paul Schrader’s assistant for six months before I went to film school, and he’s very much about knowing what’s going to happen on every page before you even start writing dialogue – the entire plot and character arcs are mapped out.
I’m in fact a hair under six feet, but I’m very svelte. People would never see me if I turned sideways.
I’ve made six films since I made Secrets and Lies but I still live in London and I’d love to do theater.
I write in the afternoon, from about 12 until 6 or 7. I use an upstairs room as my office. Once I get going I keep at it, and it usually takes about six months from the first blank screen until ‘The End.’

I had six silly tattoos done when I was young and I bitterly regret them. I’ve thought about laser surgery, but that leaves a scar, so I’m just leaving them.
Some twins feel like they need to compare themselves to each other, but we’re not that way. That’s because of my parents, though, and having six kids in the family.
When I was about six or seven, I did this character reenactment performance where I read a monologue from ‘Peter Pan.’ I got into a complete Peter Pan outfit and did a little paragraph from the script – and I ended up winning an award for it.
I remember seeing ‘Aladdin’ when I was five or six and loving it. I looked at the big screen and said to my mum, ‘Whatever this Genie guy does, I want to do.’ Mum said I couldn’t be a genie, but that Robin Williams, who did the voice-over in the film, was an actor. So I said, ‘OK, then, I want to be an actor.’

People look at my six days in the week to see what I mean on the seventh.
A regular old drag queen is usually your science teacher who’s actually wearing women’s panties underneath his slacks. A drag-queen superstar is someone who actually works in clubs and makes a living doing it more than one night a year, or even one night in six months.
Sure, I miss some things about the stage. The thing I like is the immediacy. But then I complain, ‘I gotta do the same part for six months.’

For me to go back and to play for audiences some of whom have been following me for thirty years and some who have found me in the last five or six years, that’s really an interesting thing. I have an audience that goes from kids to seventy year olds.
I was playing drums in church when I was six. Then I picked up the piano when I was 11 or 12.
I am really not interested in the cinema. I loathed it when I started six years ago, and I don’t enjoy it even now.
We then took a shortened version of what we’d been doing in the pubs, with the best gags and things like that, out to cabaret clubs and things in the north of England for six weeks. And we became a big success.
The oldest form of theater is the dinner table. It’s got five or six people, new show every night, same players. Good ensemble; the people have worked together a lot.

I get up at 7:30 and work four hours a day. Nine to twelve in the morning, five to six in the evening. Businessmen would achieve better results if they studied human metabolism. No one works well eight hours a day. No one ought to work more than four hours.
