After 'Versace' and 'American Horror Story,' if that was the end of the line, then I can go happy.
I mainly use Stratocasters. I like a lot of different kinds of guitars, but for what I do, it seems that a Stratocaster is the most versatile. I can pretty much get any sound out of it, and I use stock pickups.
But I have vertigo... I lose my equilibrium easily. I can lean out to look at something and just keep leaning and not realize I'm about to fall.
From the vertigo, I found out how far I can push myself physically and also mentally.
I can create a vibe without saying anything, just by being in the room.
When I go out on the runway, I can feel the audience vibrate.
I'm a virtuoso in my job in that there's not an actor I can't go into a scene with and be absolutely confident that, whatever is required of my character, I can do it.
I can't write a scene unless I've visualized it. Unless I can actually see it, and that's why a lot of reviewers have said my books are very cinematic, because I actually do see them before I write them.
As a vocalist, I can scream, and I've got a really good singing voice, but I can't do the really heavy vocals.
I tend to not wallow too much in sentiment if I can avoid it.
The poetry of Walt Whitman. I can return again and again to these magnificent poems and still get pleasure from reading them.
In Los Angeles, I feel like I'm wasting time while I'm driving, so now I listen to NPR and the 'Serial' podcast. I'm like, 'Yay! I can learn something while driving.'
Being creative is my idea of heaven. I'm just incredibly fortunate that I can do it in artwork. Watercolor is what I started out with. What I love about watercolor is that a lot of happy accidents occur.
The players fire the coach, and as long as I'm on the same wavelength with them, I can coach as long as I want to.
I can imagine Iceland becoming a good place to run a controversial Web site. But... Iceland may find itself forced to defend controversial speech.
I know how much my late center Mike Webster suffered. I can only imagine what a lot of defensive players from my era are going through.
I couldn't possibly write 'Next to Normal,' but God, I can weep and watch 'Next to Normal' five times.
In a novel, even if you put a country in the wrong hemisphere, which I've done, I can always claim it was part of the additional weirdness of the story.
I can't go back and label myself as an outcast because I was a pretty well-adjusted kid, but I can certainly relate to the feeling of being an outsider.
I would like, if I can, to broaden the possibilities of the musical theater. I think there's a better 'Oklahoma!' someplace, a better 'West Side Story.' And I'd like to be mixed up in it.
