Generally, we try not to write down to kids. We really just try to write a visual, character-driven cartoon that has a lot of slapstick and really appeals to us. I guess we are just lucky that other adults find that amusing, too.
There are two types of warriors: the one that rides through on his horse and tries to slay everyone, and the sniper. I try to be more like the sniper. Bang. Bang. Bang. Break them down, shot by shot.
Slayer fans are unforgiving. Early on in the career, if something changes, it's accepted. But 30 years down the road, in my opinion, they would rather see us do a three-piece than even try to replace Jeff, in a sense.
I'm not going to worry about the Cure slipping down into the second division; it doesn't bother me because I never expected to be in the first division anyway.
There is a tendency to try to dumb everything down and turn everything into a one-paragraph press release or even less, just a slogan.
When I'm not streaming, I have time to reflect on all the growth, and I don't like that. I'd rather just be home playing. I'm like, 'I haven't played a celebrity in a while. I haven't done something big in a while. Is it because I'm slowing down?'
If there is time to reflect, slowing down is likely to be a good idea.
Where you really get in trouble is if the market is dropping and the economy's slowing down and you don't take action.
I may be 80, but I intend to keep acting until the day I die. Instead of slowing down, I've discovered my second wind.
Historically, I'm not a great patient when it comes to slowing down.
I've been told I'm bright. But when I act, I get incredibly stupid. I feel my intellect slowing down. I feel it happening physically. And that's not negative in acting!
At the end of a marathon, it's going to hurt whether you're speeding up or slowing down. You may as well push.
I don't have any plans of slowing down. I love being an actor.
I'm very interested in silence. And, more importantly, in what happens when people aren't talking on stage. I'm interested in letting actors play and do things between the lines. And in slowing everything down.
Even if I don't want to slow down, I'm slowing down.
I'm much more prone to feeling down a lot. I just feel sluggish and unmotivated.
Again, with two small children it's incredibly hard to commit yourself to anything because you're just getting interested in it and someone comes along and goes I want Thomas The Tank Engine on, and screams the place down until you put it on.
There are cases where government-to-government aid actually has worked. Look at the eradication of smallpox and the near eradication of polio. But these are really top down solutions that require government-to-government support and aid.
I've actually got turned down for a lot of roles because I'm not bubbly enough. People have told me to be more 'up', but I can't, really. I find it hard to be smiley and giggly all the time.
If I didn't have a great right hook, the bigger, heavier fighters would grind me down and smother me.
