Do not to be as shy around girls, because they’re probably just as shy and just as scared as you are.
I tend not to be someone who’s on all the time, or is always trying to make other people laugh.
Talking to my wife, we stare at each other, saying, ‘How is this happening? Why is this happening? Why now?’ It’s nothing I ever aspired to.
My maternal grandma was a tough, tough lady and a stern woman, who lost her husband young and raised six kids by herself. She lived in a mining community in Upstate New York and ran a boarding house for miners. She took care of an entire family and miners who lived in the house as well.
Different things just strike people differently. And it’s so subjective, too. Because what makes one person laugh won’t make others laugh. I guess it’s kind of checkerboarded.
I think ultimately, when you believe somebody is going through a situation and it’s either awkward or ridiculous, but you believe it, that can be funny.
I’m listening to a lot of Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, and Rihanna. A lot of pop female artists. I have to say I’m pretty well-versed in the pop female category.
People know where romantic comedies are going. It’s not brain surgery to figure out the end of a romantic comedy.
I don’t do anything to try to change people’s perceptions of me. I tend to think that’s sort of an ego driven thing.
I find things funny that aren’t self-aware. That don’t know they’re funny, and I think the same can hold true for drama. If you think you’re in this tragedy and you play it for tragedy, there’s a self-awareness there that I think takes you out of watching it and I believe it cuts both ways.
In my role of agent for Miss Hathaway, I would like to say that she does not answer questions relating to this subject.

High school – those are your prime suffering years. They don’t get better suffering than that.
I don’t want to, I don’t plan my career based on what I want people to believe I’m capable of doing. So I just take things that I think might be good or might be fun to do or might ultimately entertain.
Is it true that if you don’t USE it you LOSE it?
In my wildest dreams i never thought- well, I never thought I’d work.
I’m not superstitious, but I’m a little stitious.
Wikipedia is the best thing ever. Anyone in the world can write anything they want about any subject. So you know you are getting the best possible information.
As a parent, all you want is for your kids to be safe but you don’t want to be over-protective and so you know that at some stage, they’re going to make their own mistakes and get hurt emotionally when all you want to do is protect them from that.
The ability to compromise and having the ability to laugh at ourselves is huge and works well for me.
It’s nice to find people who live on the fringe, finding one another and she’s just unrelentingly funny.
