bored comedy feels
I wouldn't feel satisfied being on set every day doing a romantic comedy - I'd be bored to death.
brother growing-up sibling
I had a really wonderful upbringing. We were a tight family. It was wonderful to grow up with so many siblings. We were all just a year or two apart, and we were always so supportive of each other. I learned everything from my older brother and sister and taught it to my younger sisters.
records experiencing-something music-is
My music is going to be true. I'm not out to sell records. I'm experiencing something, and it's what I feel.
careers might ridiculous
Might I be ridiculous? Might my career in music be laughable? Yeah, that's possible, but that's certainly not my intention.
feelings studios
It's an amazing feeling to go into a studio and really be alone.
names remember made
I've made up so many stores about my name, I can't remember.
shooting vomiting
I'm vomiting days before I start shooting a new movie.
children jealous actors
I'd see child actors and I'd get so jealous, because they're just completely wide open.
wish should justification
I wish I had fair justification for not being as informed as I should be, but I don't.
jobs want directors
I love having a master. I have no problem serving my director. That's my job. I want to make them happy.
brother proud want
I'm proud of my brother. I would never not want to be associated with him.
stars thinking people
I don't walk around like I'm a movie star because I don't think of myself as a movie star. People usually don't even notice me.
song character men
The expectation is this low, gravelly voice for John, but I went through his early recordings and there were songs in there where the voice was so different, I wasn't even sure if it was him singing, ... So it was interesting to me that we would see him develop the Man in Black sound. I thought it was really important that his voice change as his persona slowly solidified. The music was really the doorway into the character.
character purpose earnest
You see so many earnest characters in movies all the time, everyone has a purpose.
