I was drawn to West Africa. I did listen to a bunch of different styles of African music, and there was something about the percussion and the drums of West Africa, and the energy, that felt so...

It's an old-fashioned, very outdated, non-functioning idea that we can drain all the resources from directly around us and skyrocket to the top of a skyscraper, and that's success. We have to...

I don't worry about the last shot or the next shot. I concentrate. Every shot gets a clean slate. And when a shot is over, I wipe it out absolutely. Tell a joke or something. If you worry about how...

I would rather perform live than do any kind of lip-synching or something like that. I don't like to lip-synch.

The hardest thing to do is something that is close to nothing.

We personally don't try to follow industry trends or themes. We just try and make something that we think would be cool and we want to make.

My best ability was in just being ready when I was called upon. Then, I would be fit, and my legs would be light. If you sulk and are on the bench, and the gaffer calls you on, you are not ready...

I want to inspire any woman who feels like they couldn't do something because they didn't feel good enough, they didn't feel confident enough, they didn't feel empowered enough.

The fascination of somebody with original creative gifts is something that's always drawn me. I get attached to them, but I can't call it being in love, because the words are so debased.

There has always been something about the biggest, the wealthiest, the best-known, the most prestigious that has appealed to me. It's always seemed to me that that is what people want to know about.

When you've got something to prove, there's nothing greater than a challenge.

Presenting football is something that I love to do. I'm very fortunate being able to do one of the BBC's flagship shows.

I've always made my opportunities, I've never been one to wait for them and sit around waiting for something to happen. I've always sought them out.

It used to be that if you had a pretty good record, you could stop by a station in Little Rock or Atlanta and let the DJ listen to it. No way something like that can happen now.

What I love about 'Game of Thrones' is that the positioning of the music is so well done, because it's not overdone. When the music cuts in, it really has something to say.

If someone throws something, we're just supposed to sit there and wear it and get hit. Nah, man, we're human beings first and foremost.

When I enjoy doing something, I don't mind if it hurts.

The truth is, there are so few female roles in movies. That's really limiting. As an actor, you wanna be able to sink your teeth into something. You don't want to just be the best friend. You don't...

At the end of Season Four of 'Mr. Show,' instead of doing another season, everyone just thought they wanted to go and do a movie. Kind of like Monty Python. Monty Python went right into 'And Now For...

If I see something really nasty on Twitter, I will usually delete it or block the person because I don't want to see that every day... Get to know me, and then you can talk about me!

In an ideal world, no one should get something for nothing.

I've always been pretty tough in that way, where if you tell me I can't do something, I will prove you wrong.

There's something about dinosaurs that should be very humbling to human beings.

I want to do something really special in my life.

People like hearing songs that sound like something they've heard before, that's reminiscent of their childhood and of what their parents listened to.

Music was my way out. School was the plan B, just in case music didn't work out. I didn't know it was gonna work out. I just felt like, 'If I'm doing these two things, something's going to get me up...

Being a part of the Jordan Brand is something I've always wanted, and for it to be a reality is special to me.

Physical hunger and physical poverty is something I could only imagine. I've been poor when I was in China... As kids we never had to starve, but just didn't have enough meat, enough rice.

When you get something off the ground, it's fantastic, and you feel really close to that group of people.

When something is truly funny, it's funny all the time.
