The doctor asked what my diet was like and I had to sit down and realize it's not normal and hadn't been normal for about 20 years.
I have argued for years that we do not have a health care system in America. We have a disease-management system - one that depends on ruinously expensive drugs and surgeries that treat health conditions after they manifest rather than giving our citizens simple diet lifestyle and therapeutic tools to keep them healthy.
I was a vegan for two years and I really enjoyed it. Then I got to a point in my life at which I wanted to do something else so now I'm a vegetarian. You should make your diet one that best fits you and how you feel. Listen to your body. The most important thing is to exercise drink lots of water and take really good care of yourself.
For so many years I felt so insecure so inferior and I still have those moments but I have a newfound confidence since I got in shape and changed my diet.
There were years when I was a beer and tequila guy then I got real fat. And then I found that you could actually go on a diet and drink scotch. Then I got hooked on scotch and if you get hooked on scotch then everything else just tastes wrong.
I have been dairy free for several years and I started because I felt it was going to reduce my allergies which it did and help me lose weight which it did.
I refuse to spend my life worrying about what I eat. There is no pleasure worth forgoing just for an extra three years in the geriatric ward.
I followed the same diet for 20 years eliminating starches living on salads lean meat and small portions.
I decided to go to school for advertising and graphic design. That was what I was gonna do but acting is that thing it's like a splinter in your mind and you can't get rid of it. So I decided to move to L.A. a few years ago and it just snowballed into this thing called 'The Hunger Games.'
I don't set goals. Like that's what I want to be doing however many years from now. I do what I love to do at the moment. If I wake up tomorrow and decide I want to dance that's what I'd do. Or design clothes.
For two years nobody talked about anything other than the name arrangement. There was no fund-raising and no progress being made on construction and design.
Three years ago the Government announced the creation of Reconciliation Place and said that it would include a memorial to those removed from their families. However they refused to include any of those who were removed in the design of their own memorial.
I was in college and very disappointed. I majored in commercial art and interior design for three or four years. At that time it seemed the thing I really wanted to do production design just wasn't available in the U.K. so I turned to music.
So that ideas of sort of relaxed symmetry have been something for years that I have been concerned with because I think that symmetry is a neutral shape as opposed to a form of design.
When I was very very young seven years old I heard there was school where you could go to learn to draw. That was my absolute driven passion to become an artist or a painter. So the romantic realist in me I studied to be a graphic design artist and an art teacher.
The architect Peter Arens who is the monstrous carbuncle architect not merely did his design which had won a public competition never get built but his practice suffered financially for some years.
There is no city in America that has reduced crime as much as we have in the last three years. This is not the product of accident. This is the product of design.
I approve designs not because I think I am more gifted or somebody who can see ahead three or four years from now but just to make sure that the design is a logical rational decision taken after analyzing pros and cons.
Marc Jacobs is full of creative people and Louis Vuitton is again a name on the door a name that has existed for many years but I'm a collaborator there and I bring in other people other artists and I work with a great creative design team.
All those years of skating and dancing have carried over. I can't design anything without thinking of how a woman's body will look and move when she's wearing it.
Over the past 20 years I have noticed that the most flexible dynamic inquisitive minds among my students have been industrial design majors. Industrial designers are bracingly free of ideology and cant. The industrial designer is trained to be a clear-eyed observer of the commercial world - which like it or not is modern reality.
Obviously I come from one background and the people that design fitness equipment have been doing it for years and years and they know what works and doesn't work.
It is only after years of preparation that the young artist should touch color - not color used descriptively that is but as a means of personal expression.
It's funny though speaking of fathers and sons because me and John Goodman played father and son like five or six years ago in the film 'Death Sentence ' and I got back with him again in 'Inside Llewyn Davis.'
