Going to parties by myself? Yeah, I don’t know if it’s super cool or super uncool. I haven’t decided yet.
Yeah, Dundee was great. It was a great film. I fell in love with my Mexican wife on Dundee.
Yeah, it is, because it’s a real discovery of your inner resources, you know. That’s what my character is all about and what my playing is all about. But to get up there and just go inside and draw out something that makes you feel good first and foremost.
Because I went from the ‘Daily Show’ where I was a fake news guy on a fake news show, to ‘Bruce Almighty’ where I played a news guy, to ‘Anchorman’ where I played a news guy, now I’m… yeah, I tend to gravitate towards suits.
There is something about the South that accepts the supernatural. If you don’t accept it and you’re having a conversation with someone who does, it’s just one of those polite things where you don’t question their belief in ghosts. You just go, ‘Oh, yeah, okay.’ It’s amazing to be able to have conversations like that.
I identify with this guy’s frustration and inability to control his fury at moments. I even identify with the way that this guy covers up a lot with humour. So yeah, it’s interesting.
So, yeah, I can say I always set my expectations so high that I had a lot to live up to.
Look, every actor has a different way of preparing or creating a character and yeah, we all are from different backgrounds.
There were some super-lean years, yeah. I’m six feet four. And I entered into this period all of a sudden when I was too big to play a kid and I was too young to play an adult. Like, I couldn’t play the lawyer, but I couldn’t play the high school kid anymore.
I have a personality type, but it’s not like I’m like, ‘Oh yeah, short and brunette. That’s what I like. All the time.’
Animation has revitalized a part of my brain that says, ‘Oh yeah, I do like doing this. This is fun.’
Someone said to me at a party once, ‘Oh, yeah, you’re a comedian? Then how come you’re not funny now?’ And I just wanted to say, ‘Well, I’m just going to take this conversation we’re having and then repeat that to strangers, and then that’s the joke. You’re the joke later.’
Yeah, yeah. I, I don’t think I’m always right. But I don’t think young people are always right, either.
Oh yeah, I mean, it wasn’t a very good guitar, most good guitars have got thrust rods in the necks that you can adjust or that’ll keep them in shape, you know keep them straight. This one just, well it turned into a bow and arrow after a couple of months.
Yeah, there are a couple of wrestling shows out there with very, very good production values in RAW and SmackDown, but I think we’re going to offer something completely different from what they offer, a very, very different kind of product that visually is going to look as good or better in a lot of ways.
I think I am very proud of being associated with quality things. So if I were massively famous for doing massively beloved things, yeah, that sounds great.
I always like it when I eat myself out of breath. That’s a good boost to my day. You know, I’m eating, and I go, ‘Oooohhh.’ It’s better a few moments later when you get to think about it, when you’re like, ‘Why did I just stop to take a deep breath? Oh yeah, my body also needs air.’
Every day I feel is a blessing from God. And I consider it a new beginning. Yeah, everything is beautiful.
I was the youngest of six kids, so yeah, feeding myself was important, but it’s not like I was obsessed with food growing up.
Yeah, my drum programming especially is based on my knowledge of playing a drum kit. For the bass too, definitely. It was the first thing that I translated any sort of ideas through. It must have shaped it somehow.
Yeah, I did a cameo in an upcoming movie called Constantine.
I love ‘The Bachelor!’ Yeah, all people love ‘The Bachelor.’
When I was younger, I liked money – the feel of it. I would sit with my dad and count his coins and be like, ‘Yeah.’ I’d saved £700 by the age of 10. I thought: ‘What the hell am I hoarding this for?’ So I bought a drum kit.
I love the idea of having a kid who says, ‘Yeah, of course I knew about Billie Holiday and Johnny Cash when I was nine years old.’
Yeah, one of the main ways is for songs that make me want to move.
I like Pixie Sticks. Yeah, screw the middle man. Just a tube of sugar… I’d pour two of those in a big 12 ounce coke. And I’d go out to catechism class and try to concentrate on the priest. I saw Jesus several times. I swear I did.
For me, I was literally trying to stay afloat. I never actually thought I would get my own sketch show. So the idea that one day I would have my own show is pretty wild. But once I got it, I thought, ‘Yeah, this is exactly what I always wanted to do.’
I don’t want to do something unproductive with my time, so I decided to do something musical. So it felt good to say, ‘Yeah, I’m producing.’ It gave me a fresh vibe – inspiring in a different way.
I think I’ve got a good feel. A feel for… being able to walk with different people. Or for being able to look at people and think, ‘Yeah, I might know what they want to wear.’
My biggest thing about being a role model is whatever I’m preaching, I’m practicing. If I’m telling people I’m boxing and then I’m eating a burger tonight, it’s because I am. I’m not cheating and eating a salad and then being like, ‘Yeah! Burgers are cool!’
Yeah, we’re sweet but savage, and I think a lot of Canadians are that way.
Yeah, Hitman I suppose is most of the time a lighter read than Preacher; it was always going to be.
Have I learned something from making records? Yeah, I’ve learned a lot, because I’ve not only made eleven of my own records, I’ve also probably produced that many records for other artists, and then I’ve probably played on, or been a large part of another eleven records with other people.
Yeah, it’s tough being smart and sexy, too. I have to say, I’m really not that attractive. Until I met my husband, I could not get a date. I promise you it’s true. My husband Jeff Richmond saw a diamond in the rough and took me in.
Do I think it’s great that we have a celebrity system where some people matter and some people don’t? No. But do I think we’ll always create icons and legends? Yeah, I probably do.
Yeah, improvising only really works 100% when you’re with somebody.
Yeah, a lot of people think I’ll be a tortured nutcase when they meet me.
Yeah, I miss the Grateful Dead. I miss that groove. I miss the brotherhood. Absolutely. There’s no doubt about it.
Yeah, I think of what I do as a work of journalism. It’s more like the op-ed page, though. These are my opinions. My point of view. The opinions are mine and I let you make up your own mind.
Music is my first love and the thing that I feel extremely connected to. I feel like I still have a long way to go within that in terms of being able to perform and write songs. But, yeah, I really hope ‘The Possession’ opens doors for me to do more acting, because I really enjoyed it.
I went through the extremes of amazing notoriety and also the dreaded things that you never thought you’d have to live through. Not everything works the way you want it to, but if I sit back and think, ‘Am I happy about this?’ Yeah. I wouldn’t have done anything any better.
Predicting what content is going to fly is like looking into a crystal ball. I try not to say, ‘Yeah, ‘Bridesmaids’ opened the door to make more movies about women.’ I mean, did it? I don’t know; where are they?
I let my partners and my DJ listen to my songs and if they say, ‘Oh yeah I felt that one’ or ‘I am feeling that’ then I write it down and we just continue building the album from there.
Working on a green screen set, yeah, it’s almost like reading from a novel, taking those black words and creating a world around you.
Yeah, I think about the Hall of Fame.
Well, yeah, I sang to some songs on the radio or in the shower.
Are there moments when I see unrequited crushes or ex-boyfriends slow dancing with their dates and kind of want to stab myself in the spleen with a salad fork? Yeah, sure.
Yeah, I like clothes, but I hardly ever go shopping. Hardly ever!
No, but way before that, I’ve been doing little dances in movies for years. Yeah, that was an amazing chance. You know, at my age to be able to do a music dance video, very unusual.
I like my messiness on stage, though I watch comics who come at a joke from every angle and I think, ‘Yeah! That’s how it’s done!’ But for me it’s the audience. If I feel connected to them, I have so much fun, and if not, it stinks.
I’m the only talk show host, I think, if there’s such a category in, what’s called, the book of records, to have a guest die while we were taping the show, yeah.
If you knew my wife, you’d be like, ‘Yeah, you’re very married.’ She runs the household. I refer to her as ‘the greatest director I’ve ever worked with.’
Oh yeah, I’d love to be a comedian. I’ve done a lot, but always in the confines of plays.
I don’t want to be a historical action figure or treated like I’m dead. Like one of those people where they go, ‘Oh, isn’t she dead?’ And then I walk up, and they’re like, ‘Whoa.’ I can’t really complain… because I’ve made myself into a historical action figure. I was like, ‘Yeah, come on in!’
I’m still figuring it all out, and I think everyone is. And that’s kind of the point is that there’s no fixed identity, especially for like people in the queer community. It’s going to be an ongoing journey, but yeah, I hope that sharing it helps people.
