I used to brag that I can hold up any eviction - even if the landlord had legal rights, I could hold it up for a year.
I have an avocado tree at my place in Los Angeles - it's the smoother-skinned one, which tends to be a little stringy. Often the birds or raccoons get the avocados before I can harvest them. I have figs, too, which are great with prosciutto, of course. I have limes and lemons, which I use to make lemonade.
I think I must be the only British actor who's played both Stalin and Trotsky. I need to play Lenin so I can make it a triptych.
I wasn't Lennon, or I wasn't McCartney. I was me. And the only reason I started to write songs was because I thought, 'Well, if they can write them, I can write them.'
I carry around this little lion named Leo, which I've had for as long as I can remember.
I thought, 'If I can't be prom queen, I can dance 'Les Sylphide.'
I went in with Jack and Leslie, into this room that was lined with brick, and there on the side I can remember very clearly was this small model with plates for the bases - the original model with everything screwed together.
I don't eat meat - chicken, fish, none of that. I eat a lot of vegetable sandwiches, like lettuce, tomatoes, sprouts, cucumbers, whatever I can put on bread with mayo and eat, y'know.
I can get away with saying a lot of ideas that are young and naive. I'm liberated.
I'm a Libra. That means that I can make a decision, but only after much thought.
I can remember as a young lieutenant being sent into the DMZ in the divided Vietnam, from North Vietnam.
Yes, I have cancer and it might not go away, but I can still have a future because life goes on.
And for me there's still more material than 20 lifetimes that I can use up.
People took notice of me and saw that I can carry off light-hearted roles as well. They started talking about Pritam Vidrohi, and it became a lovable character; I saw that people were clapping and whistling. It was a big high to watch this kind of reaction.
I'm an athlete, I'm funny, I'm creative, I can tell a story, I'm likable.
If the worst thing that can happen is that nobody laughs, then I can deal with that, because the worst thing that can happen at the factory is that I could lose a limb or be crushed by a huge machine.
I'd much rather wait till my material is up to par, in my opinion, than rush it just so I can stay in the limelight a little longer.
Fossil fuels will run out not because of limited resources but because of the environmental impact. If I can solve that impact, I have basically increased the resource base by a vast amount.
I'm not sure if I can swagger anymore, but I can limp with the best of them.
I very seldom worry about other systems. I concentrate pretty fully on just making Linux the best I can.
