Ric, I feel like he hasn’t changed up for no one. He’s been the same since Day 1, since he was in the limelight as a pro wrestler. Even now, just his mentality and who he is: Find who you are and just be that. He’s always being him. That’s what I admire the most about Ric Flair.
I still want to write Clint Eastwood a letter saying, ‘I’m sorry, I’m sorry for all us wimp actors. You’re the truth.’ I guarantee he’s not the person you want to fight, even now! You look at him, and you don’t want to mess with him. He would still take you down.
It still amazes me, when I go out and fly the T-38, and I’m looking at those little, short, skinny little wings, and that thing’s flying. It’s just amazing to me, even now.
It’s an open secret: Even now, in the 21st century, Korean executives often consult spiritual advisers before making major business decisions – decisions that can affect their employees around the world.
Even now I will go to, like, an industry event, and all the ladies will be over here and all the guys over here, and I will go to the guys’ table and sit because I just feel I can have a much better conversation over there. And that’s automatic; it’s not prejudice.
Even now, I change my style and clothes from one day to the next, but during high school I blended in. I think a lot of people are that way. I guess that’s why I can write about an array of characters.
For a long time, I refused to wear jeans. I liked high-waisted pants, but jeans made me feel like I wasn’t being unique. Even now, I won’t wear the skinny-jeans style, because most people wear those – they have to be baggier, boyfriend-looking, or sort of like a mom jean. I’m real funny that way.
Even now, when people ask me, ‘Why did you take the job at Uber?’ I say because my gut told me to.
And some of what we’re doing in Government even now, some of the welfare reform programs that are helping lone mothers come into work are based on things that were very new under the Labour Government in the eighties.
I have been brought up around art. Even now, when I travel, I love going to museums and spend hours in front of paintings. Art is like oxygen for me. That’s what I miss in Bombay.
It helps, especially in college, and even now; having good playmakers around you.
When I reached adulthood, even now, I could afford to belong to a country club. But I could never belong to a private club because of my experience as a child, because it would isolate me from the whole of humanity.
Consequently, I won just about everything I set out to win, everything bar the World Cup, of course. But even now, I don’t regret that, because I was part of a team which twice reached the semi-finals.
Even now I want to keep my amateur spirit, to spend my time, to be in the sport with all my heart.
Even now, I have traces of the good little girl. When I am not performing, for instance, I am really very quiet and ordinary.
Even now, when people come up to me and say, ‘My kid’s an actor. They want to move to L.A. What should they do?’ Even if you wanted to help them as much as possible, there’s really nothing you can do.
I wanted to be a marine biologist my whole life until I graduated high school. And even now, I’m still like, ‘Maybe I’ll just quit the biz and go to Santa Cruz and study marine biology and have my own research center in the Bahamas.’ Yeah, I’m sure it would be just that smooth.
I suffered from ‘No one will ever fancy me!’ syndrome, well into my teens. Even now I do not consider myself to be some kind of great, sexy beauty. Absolutely not.
