The husbands, who sometimes have another family who’s grown, are going, Now I can spend time with my baby. Oh yeah, I bet your other family is really thrilled.
Yeah, Wacko Jacko, where did that come from? Some English tabloid. I have a heart and I have feelings. I feel that when you do that to me. It’s not nice.
That still has to be there. And so, it’s kind of an interesting question you brought up. Because, on the one hand, yeah, it’d be lovely. I certainly don’t see that happening. In fact, I see the opposite happening.
So, yeah, I think it had a major effect. I think in franchising younger people, it was just an idea that’s never been trotted out before, but it makes perfectly good sense.
I started to do a study on how not to do stand-up comedy. Yeah, it’s lonely work. You die, you die alone. It’s you, the light, and the audience. If you win, you win big. If you lose, you lose big time.
Yeah, pretending to ride a horse is actually a lot harder than riding a horse.
Mark Emmert, the head of the NCAA, makes millions. Coaches today are making millions. Who’s not making anything? I don’t want to hear about they get scholarships. Yeah, they get scholarships all right, they earn those scholarships.
I’m a lifer, yeah… I can honestly say I’m a lifer.
Yeah, romantic comedies are the hardest movies to make. Maybe one works a year.
‘Love Letter’ reminds me of ‘Chocolate Factory’ and ‘Happy People.’ It’s a little bit of both of those, yeah. I just wanted it to be classy, man. And romantic. And maybe 10 percent sexy.
The joke about SAP has always been, it’s making ’50s German manufacturing methodology, implemented in 1960s software technology, delivered to 1970-style manufacturing organizations, like, it’s really – yeah, the incumbency – they are still the lingering hangover from the dot-com crash.
But certainly in my grandmother’s time – and when I was growing up, yeah, Demetrie’s bathroom was on the side of the house, it was a separate door. Still, to this day, I’ve never been in that room.
But yeah, it’s funny because I used to talk so fast before ‘Gilmore Girls’ and it took me several years of auditioning and being comfortable in auditions to sort of take my time because I would just go into it and rush, rush, rush.
My dream was to become a big player in Europe. But most of the stars there are either from Europe or places like Brazil and Argentina. How many come from Edmonton, where you’re only supposed to play hockey? None. So yeah, I had a lot of doubts. I wondered if I had gone as far as I could.
I had never thought of hosting, but a really good friend of mine said, ‘This is the most empowered platform to speak to young people about the issues that you care about, which is why you’re in this in the first place.’ So I was like, ‘Yeah, no, it makes perfect sense.’ And so that’s what I started doing.
Yeah, anybody can go in with two turntables and a microphone or a home studio sampler and a little cassette deck or whatever and make records in their bedrooms.
I’ll tell something, a lot of times I’d listen to Charlie and some of the interviews he had and he said, ‘Well, yeah, I was a garbage goal collector.’ But he knew the timing. I knew where he was.
I remember when I interviewed at MSNBC, one of the first things they said to me was, ‘In your tapes, you had a mustache, right?’ I said, ‘Yeah, I recently took it off.’ I said, ‘If you hire me, you get to decide if you want it or not.’ They said, ‘No, no, we’re fine with it now.’
Yeah, my son likes a lot of guitar bands. He gave me something the other day which was really good. He’ll burn a CD for me full of things that he has, so he’s a pretty good call if I want to check some of that stuff out… The other two aren’t quite into that yet.
Yeah, my dad was in the foreign service. We lived in India, Indonesia and Africa, and we traveled a lot from those places. I was 10 when we moved back, and I felt like the odd guy out. It wasn’t until later that I appreciated it. But coming back I didn’t know any TV shows or music, which was even worse.
When they first grabbed us, yeah, it terrified, but they calmed me down.
If my life were a song it would be called ‘Don’t Stop Believing’. Yeah.
True simplicity is, well, you just keep on going and going until you get to the point where you go, ‘Yeah, well, of course.’ Where there’s no rational alternative.
Yeah, I’m very smart.
From a personal standpoint, I’d say that, yeah, seeing how quickly children grow, you realize how fast life goes by.
I mean, yeah, I’m sure that Python and the other things have paved the way for a greater understanding of the British sense of humor, but I don’t think it’s all that different than the American sense of humor.
Yeah, Dizzee Rascal is a huge influence on what I’m doing. I learnt a lot from him even though he’s younger than me.
Yeah, in my scripts, I don’t tend to describe landscape too clearly because I like to keep it really basic and sort of let people paint their own picture. I don’t find it helpful to spend a page describing a setting, except for maybe a few key things.
Yeah, so when ‘Avatar’ came out, the social media world and the idea of fan communities were very new. There were forums and you could obviously go to conventions and talk to people, but it wasn’t as clear or easy.
Yeah, I’ve always been someone to celebrate a win, whether it’s enjoying it with people or doing something or buying myself something that I wouldn’t buy myself.
I actually did want to be an actor when I was younger, but my father didn’t want to hear anything about it. And you know what? I went with his decision. I said, ‘Yeah, maybe you’re right. I don’t know anything about acting.’
When I go to a restaurant, yeah, I know that a line is probably going to form in front of the table, but didn’t I always wish for that? Yeah, I did.
Oh yeah, I know Johnnie Bassett. We were part of that whole thing.
Yeah, I’d make a decent Bond. But it’d be very, very different if I did it.
I don’t avoid anything. In my songs I just choose to talk about certain things, and so yeah, there are some aspects of my character and personality that don’t come out.
Yeah, the first thing that comes to mind is not to try too hard.
Game by game is how I judge myself. At the end of the season, yeah, I do look back and think about how many games I’ve been available for, how many goals I’ve scored, how I’ve contributed. But that’s what the summer’s for. For now, you just look to the next one.
I used to watch ‘Coming to America’ every day after school. I have full-on long-running inside jokes with friends and family about different scenes in that movie alone. Also, my brother and I loved ‘The Golden Child,’ so, yeah: I was a huge fan of Eddie Murphy growing up.
Yeah, you know, if I’m having an emotional scene I do like to go off and be by myself; not to say that I’m a method actor or anything like that, but for scenes like that that are more emotional, I do like to take that night off and not be so social.
Yeah, I still feel as if I have things to do really. I’m not ready to stop.
Who on earth would expect a band such as Nightwish, to give you, of all people, the phone call, ‘Hey, can you come and join us now?’ Yeah, that turned everything upside down.
Yeah, I’m more interested in my iphone, MacBook and gadgets than hot girls.
Yeah, well when I first started working, it was $5 a show; it was probably a little higher by the time I got to my own show, but I remember that they put me under contract at $100 a week, which to me was really an astronomical price.
I’ve actually been compared to every female singer going from Britney, Christina, Mariah, Duffy, Amy Winehouse, everyone. And they are so different, so I think it’s cool that people see me as so many different artistes but I think I’m a little different, yeah.
My dad was in the military, yeah. He was in the Air Force, and he was a doctor, so he would go places for six months here, and two years there. And I was home-schooled because I played the violin, and I did a lot of competitions.
I love winning more than anything, so, yeah, winning.
Yeah, I think there are a lot of things about Cleveland that I miss. Los Angeles is a funny place to live.
Yeah, even a black comedy. Where it’s a little eerie. I’d love to do that. But there are about three really fabulous ones on the air now and I don’t know if I can do any better than that. I’d like to sort of forge new ground.
I said, ‘Wouldn’t it be great if Matt Damon’s character fell in love with a girl with a real butt?’ They were like, ‘Yeah sure, sure – here’s your personal trainer.’
The statistics show that when you’ve done something for so long, it’ll either be, yeah, you’re slowing down, or someone’s doing it better. But physically, I feel great. More than that, it’s mental and spiritual.
Yeah, I love being famous. It’s almost like being white, y’know?
Yeah, some kids called me fish lips because I had these really full lips. Now I’m sure all those same girls are getting collagen injections, so I’m having the last laugh.
I think I’m a romantic person, yeah.
I think of all media, television is the most powerful when it comes to selling books, because when you have a feature film, yeah, there’s a rush. But then after that month is over and the movie goes out of release, that’s it.
I don’t know what to say to that, but I have to agree with Johnny that, yeah, we do touch upon things that most men would rather not admit: That we feel pain, we cry, get sad and sometimes don’t deal well with disappointment.
