Here’s the thing: ‘The Hurt Locker’ was an amazing, important film. But did I enjoy it? Of course not. It was very tough to watch and, while gripping, not exactly what you’d call a happy place.
Finding a new couch is a daunting process. New couches are not as soft or deep as you want. I prefer a long, single bench because then it becomes a day bed. These are things that you can buy at a flea market and make exactly what you want.
When I was 18, I was halfway up the Eiffel Tower with my friend, Tom, when we decided to stick our heads through the railings. The gap between the railings was exactly the right size to be able to put your head through and nearly get stuck. Which is exactly what happened.

He’s extremely clever and I learn always so much when I fight with Lewis. He always knows exactly what you are going to do next with his experience, and that’s what makes him so good on track with the battles.

I’m enjoying playing football, and as a footballer, that’s what you want to do, and that is exactly what I’ve been doing.

There are elections in which everyone knows that ‘the people have spoken’ but they don’t always know exactly what the people have said. This November’s election was different. Not only did the people speak, they spoke clearly.
Unlike the primate hand, the elephant’s grasping organ is also its nose. Elephants use their trunks not only to reach food but also to sniff and touch it. With their unparalleled sense of smell, the animals know exactly what they are going for. Vision is secondary.

My worst vacation ever was when we went to Cancun with the kids! It was during hurricane season. We had to make alternate plans to head home early, cutting our Cancun vacation short. We ended up in Texas at a water park for a whole week! Not exactly what we had planned.

I mean, the reality is unemployment today – over 14 million Americans are unemployed. That’s exactly what it was a year ago. I mean, this – the American people know we can’t borrow and spend and bail our way back to a growing economy.
I mean, my dad’s a television producer, and I knew I could get a job as an assistant or a reader with one of his friends, but it wasn’t exactly what I wanted to do.
I don’t know if I would qualify as mainstream. I think I have managed to function pretty successfully on the fringes of the music world and have been able to play exactly what I have wanted the way I have wanted.
I approached my career like a rapper. I would go to every open mic, every studio session, bringing my beats. I would almost do exactly what a rapper would do to get on.

I knew exactly what I was, and there was no hang-up with me. None whatsoever. The fact that the pigment of my skin maybe being lighter brown than other people of my race, maybe some of them, but you know our race has all colors.
One thing I will commit to the people of Ohio is, when I’m a U.S. senator and there’s issues being debated in Washington, when I’m a U.S. senator they’ll know exactly what my position is.

I take a script and mull over it and underline the bits I want to emphasize. When I go to the set, I know exactly what I want to do.
I like Lil Wayne’s style. His style probably influences me the most. Basically, he’s just wearing exactly what he feels like wearing. He goes to the club, and he’s got shorts and a wife-beater on. That shows you what type of celebrity he is and what he is able to pull off, fashion-wise. I try to be in that same lane.
Because I found myself telling the story of his family to people without the visual aids that I was able to employ by filming them eventually. But I very much knew exactly what I was going to do.
I remember quite clearly a time when I knew exactly what I wanted to do with my life. I was six, I was worry-free, and I aspired to be an actor-slash-pizza maker. To me, the decision was simple; that is what would make me happy.
The Soviet Union was designed for Muscovite rule, not for division into independent republics. Yet the latter is exactly what happened in 1991 – and the Kremlin has never accepted it.
There’s no real network, and every city in Mississippi is so spread out, so it isn’t easy to drive around and pass out CDs. So when an artist from Natchez or Gold Coast or Meridian breaks out, they already know exactly what kind of artist they want to be. The grind and the hustle is just so adamant.
In the period before the arrival of Mrs. Thatcher, politics had been in such low esteem. Everything was so hedged, so mealy-mouthed. Then along came this woman who seemed to have no manners at all and said exactly what she thought. Everyone’s eyes were popping and their jaws were dropping, and I really enjoyed that.
I guess I had a suspicion of it my entire life without knowing exactly what it was – knowing that there was something different about me, which I attributed to being an artist. At 11 or 12 I started sort of clarifying for myself. It took a while.
No one, and I mean no one, gets personally offended by someone saying a food that they like is just okay – as if I had just attacked one of their character traits – unless ‘character trait’ is exactly what they consider liking that food to be.
I know exactly what my values are and what I love to do. That’s worth additional years right there. I say no to a lot of stuff that would be easy money but deviates from my meaning of life.
With TV, you have so much to get done during the day that you don’t really have a lot of time to feel your way through it. I know before I walk on the set exactly what I’m going to do. With film you can kind of find your way in it a little more, play with it some.
Carrying my own show again is exactly what I want to do. I loved my experience on ‘Less Than Perfect’ so much and I would like something like that again. I love half hour – I feel like it’s where my heart and soul is somehow. It’s the perfect combination of fun and light and extremely challenging.
I have the distinct pleasure of doing exactly what I want to do and get paid for it. It’s a joy.

There’s an idea about who I am that’s eternally projected onto me, and then I almost feel like I have to fulfill that role. Even when things come out of my mouth, I want to be sure I’m saying exactly what I mean.
