Joey McIntyre Quotes

My methodology is not knowing what I'm doing and making that work for me.

It's something I have always tried to do in my career - play outside the box.

I'm flying by the seat of my pants, never creating with a thought to what's up ahead!

I think there are actors who are like, 'Okay, what am I doing, how am I doing it, what's the appeal? Tell me what to do, what are the exact lines from the script? Okay, I got it.' I am not that way. I would be a terrible bus driver. I'd want to be like, 'Oh, let's take this side road! Let's see what happens when we go down this back alley.'

I'm not a trained chef, so I end up making stuff up. It either turns out brilliant or an absolute disaster. I just go for it.

I didn't think; I experimented.

I really like to experiment. That's the only way I can work. It's instinctive.

Hell, there are no rules here - we're trying to accomplish something.

Do something. If it doesn't work, do something else. No idea is too crazy.

I'm of the belief that you pursue your interests, you pull it all in, and you sort it out later.

If you stay by the book, it's not always going to work. You've got to venture off a little bit. But you can't get too reckless, either.

You get the idea. Every business, like a painting, operates according to its own rules. There are many ways to run a successful company. What works once may never work again. What everyone tells you never to do may just work, once. There are no rules. You don't learn to walk by following rules. You learn by doing, and by falling over, and it's because you fall over that you learn to save yourself from falling over. It's the greatest thrill in the world and it runs away screaming at the first sight of bullet points.

I will just create, and if it works, it works, and if it doesn't, I'll create something else. I don't have any limitations on what I think I could do or be.

I don't plan. I don't think, 'I have to do this kind of part 'cause I've done that kind of part.' I'm not a very good planner.

The important thing to remember, if you are trying something that is an innovation, is not to think too much about it. Because if you take too long, by the time you get there, the world will have changed. You take a risk, and if it doesn't work, you make a change. We are not betting our lives on it.

When I do a take, I very often try things that I haven't planned to try to see if I can pull it off.

The apparatus has to serve our improbability and improvisation. Being good and playing the songs is not enough.

I'd rather play here in this small bar and just do a good show. Because it's fun and there's no expectations, it's encouragement to be different, do something new.

I'm attracted to seeing how different I can be, pushing the boat out.

I love to play things that are out-of-the-box. It's just that I don't always get the chance to do it!

In my work, I have never had any use for anything that I have known in advance.

I don't follow any system. All the laws you can lay down are only so many props to be cast aside when the hour of creation arrives.

Spontaneity, the hallmark of childhood, is well worth cultivating to counteract the rigidity that may otherwise set in as we grow older.

We must improvise, and we must experiment, and we must do things that might go wrong, and everything we bring - the people and the equipment - must serve us in that goal.

This is the rock 'n' roll life, and you had to invent it as you went along. There was no textbook to say how you operate this machinery.
