My parents loved each other. I was raised in a house of total love and respect. My dad worked very hard and my mother was incredibly devoted to him. I can unequivocally, without any peradventure of doubt, tell you that I was raised with the kind of love that we only dream of.
I think it's safe to say people are going to be interested in Kim Kardashian's love choices for the next 30 years. But they can take a minute to think about the new robotic arm that could replace the one they lost to cancer. Then they can keep thinking about Kim Kardashian.
I think that the economy, and the political system, has literally become such a disaster I don't know if it's possible to save it.
Without a doubt, if I had it to do all over again, I would do whatever it takes to be a one-person studio. You need to learn how to write so you can control the material. If you own the material, you can do it all.
just horrible, as everybody knows now. They've gotten so bad.
My biggest problem in live games is that I love the game so much and I don't think I ever met a poker player I didn't fundamentally like - even if they're screaming and they're acting like real jerks.
Hold on a second, I got a hand here... you don't mind if I play while we talk? It's part of the charm of this entire event.

I hate to say that, but name an actor, and I'll tell you who they're related to, ... It's unbelievable! So I came out here, this sort of skinny geeky kid, and it just took forever. I didn't get my first sort of break until I was 30.
If someone is not tech savvy, I have no time for them. I've always been a big believer in looking forward.
I always have a rule that acting is acting and truth is truth and you just go out there and you do it. But what happens in each medium is that you have other responsibilities. The acting remains the same, but each medium dictates assuming other halves to make the acting work.
Two of our biggest movie stars are Julia Roberts and Cameron Diaz, and they smile onscreen. Something people have forgotten about doing for 30 years.
I would give you seven to one odds that this is going to be a slash piece, but that's OK. I'm willing to take the heat.
The silent killer of all great men and women of achievement - particularly men, I don't know why, maybe it's the testosterone - I think it's narcissism. Even more than hubris. And for women, too. Narcissism is the killer.
