You get this really cool groove when you're playing just piano, bass, and drums where everyone's sort of feeling each other's space, which is the only way to put it, but it really is true, and everyone's sort of sitting in their own pocket. It's kind of jazz-like.
Some of my songs are about the feeling you belong somewhere else. But there's also something grounding about coming from a small town.
When you're young, you're always wondering when you're actually going to feel like a grownup. And I think you probably fear it, in a sense, too. There's a danger to feeling like an adult... like this whimsical kid in you is going to die or something. And then all of a sudden, one day you kind of feel like an adult and it's really nice.
I would trade 20 white babies for an Asian baby. If I'm ever rich, I want a closet full of Asian babies. And I'll just pull them out whenever I'm feeling down, you know? All kinds. Korean ones. Chinese ones. Vietnamese - not so much. My dad was in the war, and I hold a grudge.
Sometimes when you have bipolar you have days you are grumpy and not feeling yourself.
I love feeling strong. You pick up your daughter with ease while everyone else makes a little grunt when they pick up their kids.
People who are feeling bullied and people who feel like outsiders should talk to their parents and guardians about finding a place with likeminded people where they can feel accepted. That's what I needed, and that's what I found with musical theater.
What is there more kindly than the feeling between host and guest?
The masses go into a revolution not with a prepared plan of social reconstruction, but with a sharp feeling that they cannot endure the old regime. Only the guiding layers of a class have a political program, and even this still requires the test of events and the approval of the masses.
And this whole period of time of gradually working at being a better guitar player and songwriter have gradually led me to the point where I feel I'm doing a clearer representation of the thing that I've been feeling inside me since I was four years old.
I am a mother and I know the feeling of having a baby come out of my gut.
My gut feeling about sequels is that they should be premeditated: You should try to write a trilogy first or at least sketch out a trilogy if you have any faith in your film.
Gut feeling is all about the experiences that you have had in your life. It is about being in difficult scenarios, knowing what worked, what did not work, and then taking a decision.
I think, to be a director, sometimes you need to have certain hunches - you have to believe in some gut feeling.
When I was younger I had a gut feeling that I was going to use my personality in some way, but I didn’t know how. But I always had an outgoing personality. That was the one thing that I was known for.
Never ignore a gut feeling, but never believe that it's enough.
I look for scripts that give me a gut feeling that this is going to work.
You need the right balance between data and gut feeling.
Stardom happens - you can't plan it - it's destiny, and you shouldn't stand between you and your destiny. I'm letting my destiny play its part, and I go by my gut feeling. If I like my role, I say yes; if I don't, I just refuse, as simple as that.
I think your first gut feeling is the correct feeling.
