You gain strength courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself 'I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.'
Film and television are just different. Film is cool because it's a complete package. You know the beginning middle and end. You can plan it out more which I like. But with television you get a new script every week so it's constantly a mystery as to what you're going to be doing.
L.A.'s cool I had a run with it to where it just pretty much wore me out. I love the weather and I have great friends there great family but I really cannot take a lot of the culture. Like Nashville where everybody's a songwriter everybody out there is an actor.
It's cool to be in the paper every once in awhile and people read about you and they know who you are.
The cool thing about writing is that there is really never a typical day. Sometimes I get a rhythm going and head off to work every morning and come home at night. Sometimes I'll write for two days straight and then be utterly blank for the next two.
I'm getting a lot of stick because my character in 'Young Dracula' wanted to be vampire so now that I am a vampire everyone's like 'You finally did it!' But it's cool and I loved doing 'Young Dracula.' That show's finished and I don't know why it ended so it was brilliant to go into 'Being Human ' which is like the adult version of it.
I love 'Goodfellas' because it's a great movie - it's funny and there is action at perfect points. I just think Martin Scorsese makes everyone look really cool.
On a film set everyone is very cool. Well blase really.
Well I look at it like this: When you go to a restaurant the less you know about what happens in the kitchen the more you enjoy your meal. If the soup tastes good everything's cool and you don't necessarily want to know what's in it. The same thing holds true with movies.
And getting stunt coordinator Dan Bradley and everybody from the whole 'Bourne Supremacy' crew I think was real cool for our film because we do a bunch of really big jumps in this movie.
A couple days ago I saw a lot of people tweeting 'Oh it's so cool 'Home' is being used in the Olympics!' We don't really get to watch much TV man with the concerts every night but I wish I could have seen it. I really just found out through Twitter and my management texting me. I thought it was really awesome.
Everyone is different but I'm not standoffish at all. I'm not one of those people who prefer to write a note. I'll walk right up to you and ask you out! Even if the answer's no I'm totally cool with it.
I grew up on the South Side of Chicago north Beverly. It was cool everybody's cool on the block.
With these men and women who work-for the cause with all their hearts with cool heads and skilled hands we will master every fate.
I have this desire to just while away weeks months and years. It took me two years to make this record but that was with me trying to condense my process and not disappear down the rabbit hole with all the cool things I've collected. I could take 10 years and not explore everything I want to with these instruments.
The nude scenes were a little eerie and I felt a bit odd. Yeah when the camera scanned up my body I said to my friend 'Now that's a close-up.' I mean you see every inch of my body. But I'm okay with it and so it was cool.
What we do every night is we change out the set list as much as we can to make sure that (fans can) go home and tell their friends they experienced something unique and cool.
My favorite type of music to sing and to listen to you know rock. It's not always metal but you know half the time it is. Metal's cool you know? Not everybody on 'American Idol' listens to metal.
I know a lot of people dread going to work every morning but my work is playing pretend and doing stunts and screaming. It's a lot of fun and I get to play dress up. Every day is exciting and different and new and cool. I couldn't be more grateful.
I love seeing people having fun. Everyone over in L.A. is too cool for it. That's the problem.
Everyone focuses on the earthly state but how cool might death be? I believe in spiritual rebirth and I can't wait to experience that.
I'm so critical of myself. I'm actually really really proud of the film. It's really cool to see a movie at Sundance because everybody is so supportive.
If we really wanted to be cool and everyone in the world had Pro Tools we could just put it up on the internet and everyone could make their own record out of it.
Everyone in Hollywood wanted a role in this movie. Everyone wanted to have a part in it. I feel so lucky that I got one but what I find so cool about 'Hunger Games' is that the real star is the story itself.
Music is a means of giving form to our inner feelings without attaching them to events or objects in the world.
