I'm not exactly a guy who makes new friends easily.
It's just hard to meet new people, in my position.
I would love to hang out with Whoopi Goldberg. I was on 'The View' once, and I didn't know how to make an in there, to be like, 'What are you doing later?' But I really love Whoopi Goldberg.
I think it's a really big deal to be able to meet people outside the context of something like a conference room or someplace where everything feels like it's formal talk.
I get nervous around girls for the first time. Once I'm in, I can take the reins and go. It's just the initial approach I'm really bad at.
Nothing is a better icebreaker than a great joke.
When you start a new job, a lot of times everybody's been there a long time and so you think, 'Oh, it's going to take me a while to make friends and do all that.'
Whenever you get a bunch of guys that are funny or think they’re funny, when you first meet, there’s always a lot of bits and it’s never, ever, ever funny. So basically you have to get through the awkwardness.
When I work with new girls, I talk their ear off and try to make them as comfortable as possible because I remember what it was like when I first started.
It's hard to make friends as an adult. You gotta work at it, you know? You have to ask people to lunch, and if you don't know them, it's weird.
The real intimidating stuff is the scene where you show up for the first day. You kind of square off, and that is where you look each other in the eye.
It's really hard to be on stage and packing your gear when people who just saw you play are in the room, because they all just want to talk to you.
You know, if you meet someone for the first time, they're not going to bite you.
All we want is a confident dude to come straight up... maybe. Just walk up and say, 'Hey, what's up?' And start from there.
I'm not good at chatting right away. Women have to be very patient with me, I suppose.
Often, joking for me is a way of diffusing the awkwardness of a situation, so it's kind of exhilarating to be a part of projects where there's nothing funny or lighthearted.
If I'm in an uncomfortable situation, I think I can say something funny to defuse it. Sometimes you can't.
If I notice a cute girl at the meet-and-greet, I might go and talk to her.
If there's a silence in a room I'll try to fill it as soon as humanly possible.
Boo: "Go talk to her." Callum: "About what?" Boo: "Anything." Callum: "You want me to walk up to her and say, 'Are you a ghost?'" Boo: "I do that." Callum: "I love it when you get it wrong.
Can you think of a single situation, no matter how grave, where the atmosphere would not be instantly shattered with a loud fart - or a drawing of a butt? There is no faster way to create universal common ground.
If I did want to get a girl's attention, it would just be in some way where I would just start talking to her. It would have to feel organic. It's too weird otherwise.
How was your night?" I asked, my voice carefully neutral as I attempted to break the ice. My spying adventures still hung uncomfortably between us. "Interesting.Yours?" "Not so much." "Homework was brutal,huh?" He was making fun of me. "I didn´t do homework." He had the smile of a fow. "Who did you do?" I was speechless a moment. I stood there with my mouth slightly open. "Was that an innuendo?" "Just curious what my competition is." "Grow upp." His smile stretched. "Loosen up.
It's much easier to get a reception from someone if there is an introduction versus randomly trying to get in front of people.
Which, the first meeting with anybody is, you know, everybody is on their best behavior. It's only after you get to know them for a while that you figure out.
