I try to not beat myself up about anything. I think that's the biggest thing.
I always feel like a doctor who loses a patient on the operating table or something where I felt just devastated and I beat myself up until I get to try it the next night and “I'll get it better tonight.” So I'm hard on myself. I think I'm not alone in that regard with acting.
You've got to do a lot of research. That's the biggest thing: I try to gather as much information as I can to maximize myself. Because if you're just standing still, you're going to be a dinosaur and everyone else will go around you. That's like my biggest fear.
The thing is, if I try to talk about acting, I come off as moaning. But I'm privileged. I think it's all about control. Acting is vulnerable because you're not in control of anything. You have to give up a lot of your trust; it's up to somebody else what they do with what you've given them.
One thing I've always been proud of is that vicious dichotomy between the pretty controlled, angular playing of the band, and my - I don't want to talk about myself as a 'wild man' or anything, but I have trouble staying on the beat.
I think you always need to try your best, but at the same time you can only do what you can do. Don't beat yourself up about it.
I used to beat myself up about weight and working out, and no matter what I did I never felt good about myself. I decided to accept myself and know that I am good.
I don't write because I think I have anything particularly interesting to say. I write because I love writing more than any other work I've done. I do think about entertaining the reader to the extent that I try always to write a book that I myself would want to read, but I don't think it's up for me to decide if what I've written is interesting to others. That is entirely up to others.
For me, anything goes when I pick up a mike. I'm not trying to hurt people - I try not to get too personal - but I look at myself as a reporter. If you can report on anything that has to do with pop culture, then why can't I make jokes about it? Yes, it hurts. But I figure that laughter sometimes starts from pain. You might wince, but then I know that I'm doing my job. The only thing I can do wrong is not be funny.
One thing a person won't do when he's laughing is try to beat you up.
Well, I'm still looking for Maurice Ashley. My essential qualities. I think that more than anything, I try to do the right thing, I think about doing the right thing.
The biggest thing I try to do is to unplug and give myself time away from social media and the Internet.
I try not to deprive myself of anything. I don't do the low-carb thing or anything like that.
He took a stance as a man, and the greatest thing about Peter Norman is when you sit back and think about Tommie Smith and John Carlos here in America, they could go beat up on Tommie Smith and get tired of beating up on him and go to the other side of town and find John Carlos and beat up on him, but when Peter Norman left and went to Australia, there was no switch-off on Peter.
When I don't play well, nobody needs to say anything to me. I beat myself up.
The older I've got, the easier I've found it to accept myself. I think I've finally learnt not to beat myself up so much.
And if I let myself down, appear on stage when I'm not looking my best, it's not fun for me. I just beat myself up about it.
