I may see somebody in a club one night and go, Wow, she’s the most attractive girl I’ve seen in a long time. Then I’ll see her the next night and be like, Oh no, I don’t think so.
A lot of student directors used to pick other students to be in their graduate films, so. I ended up doing a couple of them just for fun. Eventually, I got an agent through a friend and I did some commercials; then I got Knots Landing.
Oh, there’s tons of resentment. That’s normal. I can’t control that, and I don’t worry about it.
Going out is such a hassle. The singles club scene where you sit down, talk, get to know each other, hang out-it’s such a big ordeal.
I did some commercials and a couple of B movies, then a few pilots that didn’t go anywhere. Eventually I did the pilot for Beverly Hills, 90210. The rest is history.
The worst thing you can do is to put your life aside for someone else.
I’ve just had some of the worst situations with the most beautiful girls, who I just could not stand talking to anymore. The physical only lasts for so long.
If somebody doesn’t have enough judgment to be able to look at plastic surgery and realize how phony it is, then they can’t be helped.
I like women who are really strong and were brought up to be comfortable with themselves and respect themselves.
We are not here to just exist; but to find the strength to co-exist.
When somebody gives up their friends and everything they do just to be with a person, they wake up miserable one day. They’re denying themselves for no real reason other than they think that’s the thing to do.
My mother’s incredibly giving, almost too giving at times. And, my dad is a real logical person. He’s got logic for every situation. They’ve been married for 24 years, so there was that stability, also. I really learned to think on my own at a very young age.
My goal was to play drums, but my father made me take piano lessons. He told me I needed to learn to read music first, so I took lessons for six years. I thank God that he made me take those lessons, because it taught me a tremendous amount.
James Brown was one of the first artists who found four bars that he liked and played them the entire way through, and then he just added to it vocally.
In every interview I’ve got to explain something about being white but still being into hip hop. It’s gone way beyond the musical aspect of the business. And I’m as critical about music as everybody else is.
I’m sometimes critical about other artists who come out with something different until maybe I hear the music. If the music is there, then they did their job, and I’ll enjoy the CD.
It’s strange, because I remember the biggest point of my childhood was one Halloween when I was trick or treating and ended up at Henry Winkler’s house and he answered the door. So I got to meet The Fonz. That was cool.
My parents love each other. They work through their problems.
It’s just a fact of life. Everybody grows up and goes through changes, and our audience has seen it all.
I started promoting clubs when I was 15. 1 was doing what is considered the normal collegiate stuff when I was a lot younger. I was holding my own, but doing a lot of crazy things.
