successful made exception
I've made 30 movies and for the most part my movies work. In a business where success is an exception and not the rule, I've mostly been successful.
trying involved ifs
If you're involved in with something that's original, you know, you'll always go back and try to rehash it.
money wife making-love
My wife ain't gonna make love to me if I got no money!
party home house
I leave my house all the time! But I'm not at all the Hollywood parties. I'm grown, and where else am I supposed to be? I'm supposed to be home.
girl spices figures
I can figure out which Spice Girl I wanna impregnate.
want position
I'm in a position that allows me to do what I want to do, and I do it.
artist acting
I'm the artist when I'm doing music that I am when I'm acting. I'm everything.
growing-up listening stuff
Growing up, I liked all the stuff that everyone else was listening to, like Motown, but the biggest group of all was The Beatles.
competition tradition
The competitions are as much a part of the tradition as the actual dances.
home night tvs
I took my portrait that Kaufman did of me home from the Saturday Night Live TV set.
careers years relax
I'm relaxed about my career. I've been making movies for over 20 years, so I've earned at least the right to relax.
thinking make-you-think down-and
How can music without any words make you think? I listen to jazz when I'm doing something else. I use it for background music, I don't just sit down and concentrate on it. Lyrics, words - that's what makes me think.
done pay matter
There's always been a lot of negative stuff written about me. That's why I don't pay any attention to the critics. They've never liked anything I've done. What do critics know? It's the way the audience reacts that matters.
home wish technique
Whenever I am on camera or doing anything on mic, I don't have any process at all. I just do it and, when I'm finished, it goes away. There is no process. I wish there were some techniques to it. I just turn it on and off, and then I go home.
