I'm not really a helicopter dad or tiger dad per se. If anything, I try to not do that, but I get anxious while I'm trying to be relaxed about raising my kids.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, I'm a helluva kisser.
The 'Hercules' role just kind of came to me, but I had a lot of fun trying something new.
The thing I'm particularly interested in is natural history. In its heyday, the mid- and late-nineteenth century, when people were going out and gathering the first huge caches of data and trying to understand what was living and growing everywhere, there was such a sense of freshness to that pursuit. It's very exciting.
The virus that causes AIDS is the trickiest pathogen scientists have ever confronted. It mutates furiously, it has decoys to evade the immune system, it attacks the very cells that are trying to fight it, and it quickly hides itself in your genome.
I'm a high-risk taker on the court in the sense of trying to squeeze things in there.
With 'A Hijacking' I didn't talk to anyone who had been hijacked, but with 'A War,' I talked to as many soldiers as possible trying to understand how is it in Afghanistan.
When I first started, I had a mullet, and I was trying to play a hillbilly persona. While it was fun, it wasn't me.
It is no use trying to sum people up. One must follow hints, not exactly what is said, nor yet entirely what is done.
If you want to steal a base, steal a base. Don't make the hitter swing at a bad pitch trying to protect the runner.
The groundhogs are pretty good at eluding. If somebody is trying to come after a ground hog, they go and they burrow.
I take a more holistic approach to fitness than trying to achieve a certain body to display.
Somebody once asked me if I ever went up to the plate trying to hit a home run. I said, 'Sure, every time.'
I had a chance to choose a couple different places and, well, I grew up - I was a small-town kid from Illinois, so No. 1, just trying to win a championship for my home state.
I've been really trying to hone the art of songwriting in a way that doesn't follow any sort of guideline.
Especially during the first nine months, there was so much going on with trying to hire 55 people to run the city, it was hard to imagine any honeymoon.
I'm just trying to look at different ways to see how the ball can go in the hoop.
The amygdala plays a crucial role in processing fear, and minus her two amygdalae, S.M. became unflappable. Studies of her are actually a hoot to read, since they basically consist of scientists concocting ever-more-elaborate ways of trying to scare her.
I am in touch with a company that hopes to replicate my voice. However, they are not replicating my original voice - if they did that, I would sound like a man in his 20s, which would be very strange! They are actually trying to replicate the synthesizer that sits on my wheelchair.
The problem with 'Don't Be Afraid of the Dark' was that it was designed to be a PG-13 movie. It was literally a horror movie for a younger generation. I was trying to do the film equivalent of teenage, young adult readers, and when they gave it an R rating, the movie couldn't sustain an R.
