I never really planned a career. I’ve tried to avoid it. I’ve tried to do this stuff I felt for, the stuff I like. So, I’ve just been meeting these fantastic directors who’ve offered me a variation of different parts and different films.
My m.o. as far as choosing projects is I really try not to work. I try to not do the scripts that are offered me. I’m in this wonderful position to be able to do that. The reason I do that is because I know what it takes once I engage, what that means for me personally and for my wife.
Babyshambles were offered some money to have a comeback. Good band, they were – amazing tunes.
I started working at Bravo in 2005, when I was offered a job by Lauren Zalaznick, the network’s chairman. She encouraged me to start a blog. I wrote behind-the-scenes gossip about ‘Battle of the Network Reality Stars,’ the first show I took on as head of current programming.
In Bollywood, you have to do one film at a time, and there are no mixed schedules. And doing four films at a time is out of the question. Telugu film industry works very differently. But the kind of films I’m getting here are better than what I’ve been offered in Bollywood.
I want garments that reflect my personality. It’s difficult to find in the childrenswear department. And often, womenswear requires far too many alterations.

I never thought in my wildest dreams I’d ever be offered a record deal, and to get a Christmas No. 1 would be huge for any performer, let alone an ex-footballer.

I offered early on – I think I was governor about a month when I met President Obama – and said, ‘I would like to visit with you in reference to border security, in reference to immigration. I’d like to be part of the discussion because I lived on the border all my life.’ I’ve never received a call.
I’ve been offered political shows before, and I don’t know anything about politics and I feel uncomfortable making political opinions – there’s consequences to them. I often think I’m wrong, so I really don’t like getting in political or religious discussions because of the giant possibility that I might be wrong.
The parameters are such that I don’t get offered a lot of work. I’m sure most directors hear my list of don’ts and say forget it.

If I wanted to work financially, I would have made a series of different choices. I do get offered lots of movies which you could make a lot of money out of. And I always say, ‘Why would I do that, when someone else could do it much better than me? Why would I want to do an action picture? Why?’

Puffy’s contribution to hip-hop culture was the remix. He offered us the music that his mom played in front of him, with newer drums and younger artists. That worked, and will consistently be there. The remix comes right after the original record, that’s something Puffy did to influence the culture.
