FORTRAN was the language of choice for the same reason that three-legged races are popular.
The most erratic thing I ever did was going blonde.
I quit high school to be a pro skateboarder out of Ohio, which is just asinine, but it was meant to be.
I was a rebel and I wanted to do something that nobody else did, and nobody else played the cello. Also, I was also a small kid and I liked the fact that it was big.
Even if I had a tuxedo I wouldn't wear it to school.
I started a big band when grunge was popular. I mean, that didn't make much sense.
Even though he's a moron, I supported Tyson Fury.
Writing, for me, has always been a way of not having a career.
It reminds me why I chose Dauntless in the first place: not because they are perfect, but because they are alive. Because they are free.
I heard people say, 'Why would he want to do this?' My answer is 'Why not?' It is what I love. It's what I know.
I was always ready to leave England for some absurd reason.
The only reason I'm in 'Kingsman' is because Matthew enjoys playing with the unexpected. I'm not playing Harry Hart because I'm the butchest actor in Britain. I'm playing it because he said I'm the last person anyone would expect to see in that role!
I would give the people of America to their first opportunity to elect a president who doesn't belong to either party since George Washington.
The only thing I was fit for was to be a writer, and this notion rested solely on my suspicion that I would never be fit for real work, and that writing didn't require any.
I was very surprised to get a reading for 'Arrested Development' because it really seemed to be the opposite of that which I was known for doing.
Even my family is shocked that I chose this profession.
Every man's got to find themselves, and I found myself in bloody Western Australia, of all places - there was as far away as I could.
I auditioned for Lamorne Morris' part, Winston, on 'New Girl.' In the scene, the character was eating a mayonnaise sandwich. I thought, 'Nobody else is going to go into the audition eating, and this is how I'm gonna set myself apart.'
The Guess Guy has to have a masculine presence and project a strong personality as a counterpoint to the sensuality of the women in the campaigns. With Tom Skerritt, I think people thought he was an interesting - maybe not the most obvious - choice for a Guess campaign. However, I felt he had that perfect combination that was right for the brand.
I hitched my wagon to an electron rather than the proverbial star.
I moved to cricket at a time when I was at the peak of my career, and I can guarantee you that no one else from Bollywood would have done that.
Poe was plagued and haunted most of all by something pretty banal: poverty. Probably the most eccentric decision in life was to become a writer in an age when making a living at it was nearly impossible.
The Giants beating the undefeated Patriots, that's all a joke. The star of a reality show is going to run the country. The guy who decided if Bret Michaels or Cyndi Lauper would make a better CEO for a company that doesn't exist is going to be running stuff.
While my seemingly compulsive school-hopping has raised some eyebrows among my peers and caused my parents understandable consternation, I do not regret it.
I don't know why we sold a lot of records or why so many people came to see us. Like 'Sabotage' - would you put that song on, like, 'I'm gonna listen to that right now?' It's a weird choice.
