There's always a germ of truth in just about everything.
My father was always playing the piano. He played all kinds of music - Gershwin, all kinds of stuff.
It's always important to try and get a real sense of the world around my characters. I especially think it helps actors.
Starting at about, I guess, forever, I've always looked forward to getting older. When I was 14, I couldn't wait to be 16 and get a driver's license.
I'd always had the concern that being in commercials would affect my credibility when I was getting started as a TV and film actor.
There's no success story. Everybody's got a ghetto story. You always want to make it bigger than what it is.
I always loved ghost stories and haunted house stories, whether they were done in a fantasy way or done in a realistic way.
When I was in the West Coast watching the Giants, Rich Aurilia was a guy I always liked.
I've always told my wife, 'Anytime I have an opportunity to be on something that I would watch even if I wasn't on it, that's when I get really, really giddy.'
Growing up, I always wanted to be in punk bands, so I'm really enjoying the harder, heavier element. It's always been my dream to have people moshing at my gig, kind of that really feral element of the music coming out more. I love crowd-surfing.
Sitcoms, I always figured that would be an easy gig, but man, it is not.
I always danced with my father in the living room. He did lifts with me, and he would twirl me around, and we’d laugh and giggle.
I always think of Gilbert Norrell as being Salieri to Jonathan Strange being Mozart.
I will always hold a very special place in my heart for 'Gilmore Girls.'
I've always modeled myself after Ginger.
I always try and make the strongest ginger tea with manuka honey to keep my voice in shape.
If I could adopt any zoo animal, it would be a giraffe. I have always loved giraffes. They are so graceful and beautiful to watch.
As a woman, it seems you can't just be a comedian; you're always classed as something else, too, whether that's 'beautiful,' 'pint-sized,' 'larger-than-life' or in my case, 'Hattie Jacques-esque,' 'the giraffe,' 'big.'
There are some people who are naturally talented, who just have it coming out of their ears; they just sparkle with talent. Some people - and I put myself in this category - don't fit a mould. I always looked a lot older. I was as tall as a giraffe, even at ten, but I found my place, and I really worked at it.
Being a very tall person, I have always felt a kinship with giraffes.
