For clothes, I like this little store on Fountain, Matrushka Construction. Beth Ann Whittaker and Laura Howe make amazing things. You can get a designer skirt with cool embroidery for 40 bucks instead of $400 or $4,000.
When I’m in the city, I like to go to different events and get introduced to different people. That’s what New York is all about. There is great diversity, and there are people from all over the world who have done amazing things. That’s my favorite thing to do: meet new people.

At the beginning of ‘Solo,’ Chewbacca is a stray dog from the streets who has been beaten. He is very guarded and not trusting of the outside world. When the situation arises, he calls upon the powers he has and can do amazing things.

I’m definitely a techno-optimist. I think we can do amazing things. But in my experience, if a thing has great potential, there is also a risk of great downsides, so to speak. Coming from a truly, really enthusiastic ‘wow decade,’ we are now moving into waters where we are somewhat more cautious.
I’ve been blessed with so many opportunities and so many amazing things throughout this process. But all the while, I remember that the reason that I’m here and the reason that I do music and tell these stories is that people come to know the love, the God that I know.

My wife totally backs the way I am on stage; that’s one of the amazing things about her. I have 120 per cent respect for her when I’m on stage, so there are definitely certain things I would never do.

Football was much, much more than I hoped it would be. If I dreamed as a kid, I could never have foreseen such amazing things.
One of the most amazing things about mathematics is the people who do math aren’t usually interested in application, because mathematics itself is truly a beautiful art form. It’s structures and patterns, and that’s what we love, and that’s what we get off on.

I like what I see now in China, but I think the Japanese are a step ahead into craziness and weirdness.

I really hope I’ll be able to promote some of these artists, to show their work in the West.
One of the most amazing things about ‘Crazy Ex-Girlfriend’ is that every song is an original. There are no covers. I think ‘Glee’ had to deal with forcing covers into their plotlines. That can be difficult to pull off.
I’m very happy with my life and career, but I do find myself having serious attacks of nostalgia, and I don’t quite know why. Even though I’ve got to travel the world and do amazing things, I still want to go back to my teenage years and change little aspects of it. It’s strange, but it does continue to bug me.
There was once a caustic comment from someone suggesting I was breeding a new race. Fans from different countries have married, amazing things like that. I’ve been to some of the weddings. I went to one here the other day, a pagan ceremony.

One of the most amazing things about my job is that I have arguably, maybe not even arguably – definitively – the best boss on the planet. Shonda Rhimes is the best.
