I had two major activities as a child. I was trying to put on shows with kids in my street, or I was drawing. Actually, what I’m doing now is exactly what I was doing then. Either I’m drawing, or I’m gathering people for a common project. The only difference is that now they are paying me for that.
But one of the satisfying things about performing a play is you know for that piece of time exactly what you’re going to be doing. Your life has a physical pattern.

Ali was the African-American who exulted in saying exactly what he was capable of, and the bouncing-boy braggadocio of hip-hop is impossible to imagine without him. So it makes sense that one of his spiritual children, the sunny-dispositioned rapper turned actor Will Smith, would play him.
In the original introduction to the word meme in the last chapter of ‘The Selfish Gene,’ I did actually use the metaphor of a ‘virus.’ So when anybody talks about something going viral on the Internet, that is exactly what a meme is, and it looks as though the word has been appropriated for a subset of that.

A lot of people that make films say, ‘We need this kind of character. Who’s done it before? Get them to do it again.’ That is exactly what actors are pushing against. It’s kind of a cliche to talk about being stereotyped in that way, but it happens.

We believe that with our music, we should be saying exactly what we think. We want to speak up for people who don’t have a voice. That’s what our music does.
Somehow, I always knew I would get married by the time I was 27. Even in college, I had this weird thing in my head that I would get married when I was 27, and hopefully my career would be stable, and I’ll have kids by 30. And that’s exactly what has happened.

I’m all about doing things myself because I find it hard to trust other people. Not trust, but I know exactly what I want to do, and I know exactly how it’s supposed to look.
I thought all good art is you doing exactly what you want to see. I didn’t realise that’s not even what I really like about art. Bands I liked weren’t doing just what they want to do: they were finding their common ground with them and me.
I didn’t know exactly what to expect when I first came to Seattle but I have to say that how the city and the fans have embraced me has gone beyond my wildest dreams and for that I am forever grateful.

Louis C.K. was able to make it happen. His producers don’t bug him. He’s able to go into his cave and write exactly what he wants to write, and there are no decisions made by committee, and you have a singular voice, and everyone’s like, ‘Oh my God! We love this.’
Everything isn’t exactly what it seems from the outside.
Do not trust anybody but yourself. If people want to help you, fine. Put it on paper and understand exactly what every word says.
I don’t think I had a role model. I just was very inspired by an article which I read in Forbes magazine around the information superhighway and the Arpanet and stuff like that. To me, that intuitively made sense, and when I decided to come to the U.S., I knew exactly what I wanted to go and write about.
I think the audience is getting it right, you know what I mean? And that’s kind of rare when the artist feels like their audience understand them. But I feel like people are understanding exactly what I’m going for. And that’s awesome.
It would be counterproductive to tell people exactly what they are supposed to do and exactly how they are supposed to do it to a point where they become more concerned about your expectations than about completing their work in a quality way.
