Acting is an art form and you want to take roles that are challenged and it’s more of a challenge I think to play dark characters. Not that I want to always play those, but it is a challenge and challenges are rewarding and fun.
And I think that being able to make people laugh and write a book that’s funny makes the information go down a lot easier and it makes it a lot more fun to read, easier to understand, and often stronger. So there’s all kinds of advantages to it.
Lives in previous centuries for women are largely a matter of class. It would have been fun to have been a rich, privileged woman in the 18th century, but no fun at all to be her maid.
Elizabeth Hurley and I had a lot of fun together. She’s a very beautiful, confident woman.
Friday night was the night most people thought they were supposed to have fun. Trouble was most people didn’t know what fun was or how to have it, so things usually ended up pretty ugly.
We’ve all been wrong- I certainly have- and we should thank those who set us right. Not always fun, but always best in the end.
I am very happy to be alive. There is much fun to be had. Music, movies, books, paintings, drawingsI hope you have these things where you are. If you have them, what does the real world matter anyway?
What really helps me is being able to record my albums at home – I have more fun experimenting that way, as opposed to working with an engineer, in which case I have to deal with the humiliation of doing take after take, and that can get frustrating.
I thought that I was going to have to pay them to do what I wanted to do, that was how much fun I was having. You’re 20 years old and you’re hanging out with rock stars and going to fabulous parties, and then you talk about it!
So it’s happened, I kept thinking, you’re in the middle of a story exactly as you’ve always wanted, and it’s horrible. Fear tastes quite different when you’re not just reading about it, Meggie, and playing hero wasn’t half as much fun as I’d expected.
We all know what fun it can be to get right into a book and live there for a while, but falling out of a story and suddenly finding yourself in this world doesn’t seem to be much fun at all.
I only pay to take my son to the movies, because most of the time I only watch European movies, independent movies, or screen them privately. But I like to go to movies with my son because it’s still fun; it reminds me of why I make movies.
People call me for the ballads. Apparently that’s where I’ve been pigeonholed. But it’s really interesting and really fun. It’s my favourite part of the job, writing.
I really have fun making up. I have a good face for making up, good bones. I do the shapings, then the eyes. Then I put on mascara and I do something else. Then I put on mascara again and do something else. Then I put on more mascara and my whole face is completely made up.
We use improv in all kinds of fun ways. Sometimes it’s to invent or discover new things, sometimes it’s to weird out the other actors, and sometimes it’s to create a sense of fun, to find new things inside the scripted lines.
Steakhouses sort of have this old-school nature to them; they’re like museums full of good food. It’s fun hearing the waiter share his expertise on the different cuts of beef and how they’re going to cut up your baked potato.
There’s something that’s really fun about the challenge of making the mundane funny, too, I think.
I think people should have fun with fashion, should enjoy wearing beautiful clothes – but also not save everything for the best. Fashion is there to be enjoyed, to be indulged – to wow in. Don’t save it for Sunday best only. Get it out of the tissue paper and be sensational every day.
In their work, then, as in their play, men and women are more and more coming to share with each other as comrades, and really the fun of life seems in no wise diminished as a consequence.
I had a high-flying career. Never wanted to get married. All I wanted to do was have some fun.
