I don’t know, I like to go on really different types of dates. Going someplace new or some new part of the city, something that’s not your average thing. Something where you just go have an adventure together.
I hate when you go into a nice restaurant – someplace where you’re going to spend good money – and there are kids in there crying.
There’s a story everywhere. Being bored to death someplace is basically a funny proposition. What you have to watch out for is you don’t write a boring story about a boring place.
I find it a lot healthier for me to be someplace where I can go outside in my bare feet.
Predictability is boring! I want a book to take me someplace I haven’t been before, show me sights I haven’t seen, make me ponder questions I may not have pondered before.
But even creeps deserve to live someplace halfway decent.
When you are portraying somebody that has a very specific emotional weight, you feel like you’re really starting to abandon your own body and go to someplace else.
Even though my songs may sound very personal, to me most of them are fiction. It is a great way for me to be able to live a fantasy life as a writer because I get to be someone else, someplace else for three and a half minutes, just like the listener.
I love doing theater. It’s what I grew up in and is my roots. I get a huge fulfillment from it. But if my path is to go someplace else, hey, I’m there.
How do you walk from one place to another? What makes you want to walk someplace? Any place that you want to get out of your car and walk is a good place by definition.
It was a steppingstone. The NBA, for me, was preparation for me to do something someplace else.
I remember a humorous episode from Bill Clinton’s presidency in which his advisers prevailed upon him, one summer before his re-election campaign, to spend his vacation in Montana and Wyoming instead of the usual Martha’s Vineyard. The theory was that he’d benefit from hanging out someplace a little more down to earth.
The best books come from someplace inside. You don’t write because you want to, but because you have to.
It seems like I have been fighting someone, something, someplace, in some manner, my whole life.
I always encourage my promoter to see if we can go someplace new. And he’ll go, ‘OK, how about Armenia?’
Everything you need you already have. You are complete right now, you are a whole, total person, not an apprentice person on the way to someplace else. Your completeness must be understood by you and experienced in your thoughts as your own personal reality.
I get cold really quickly, but I don’t care. I like weather. I never understand why people move someplace so that they can avoid weather.
There really isn’t a day when I wake up and DON’T have to be someplace.
The main thing I’m into is going about on a bike, taking random routes; I’m really into the idea of making up journeys, and just seeing where they take you, because they always end up taking you someplace freaky.
If I live near a dancer or a painter, or a clarinet player comes from my neighborhood, I take some pleasure in that, feel a little more as if I come from someplace in particular.
I love singing jazz. I don’t like the idea that classical music should be over here and jazz should be someplace else. It’s all wonderful, and we should be open to enjoying it all.
That’s the kind of movie that I like to make, where there is an invented reality and the audience is going to go someplace where hopefully they’ve never been before. The details, that’s what the world is made of.
