I hate repetition. Even when I am home and have to buy milk, I go a different way each time to avoid having a habit of anything. Habits are really bad.
I don't want to do something that I've done before; I can't see the point of it.
There are fewer roles, and I've done so many things already that I don't want to repeat, so to find something you haven't done is harder. I don't want to play a country singer again.
I have some songs on 'Tha Carter V,' but if I hear a song five times, I don't like it no more.
We may be willing to tell a story twice, never to hear it more than once.
I've almost never played the 'Smiths' records, once they've gone out. I was always like that and probably always will be.
I can't stand to sing the same song the same way two nights in succession, let alone two years or ten years.
I'd never want to repeat a character - once done, it's of no interest to me.
As a performer, I don't like to play the same thing over and over. I like to play it and let it go and move on. That's also why television hasn't really been something that I've done.
Theater is consistent. You ride your bike to work. You get most of the day off so you can see your kids. My problem is that after three months, I go mad. One of the reasons I never thought I could do a TV show is that I hate doing the same thing over and over again.
I have to feel that each thing I've learned I can push to another point next time. I'm not very good with repetition. I would rather not work than feel that repetition is the order of the day.
The only thing a true introvert dislikes more than talking about himself is repeating himself.
Because the more you write the more you're aware of the weight of your tradition and the difficulties of the form and the more you have already done that you do not want to do again.
