My strength lies in prepping. I'm not someone who can just walk onto the set and perform.
My policy is to have no policy.
I'm energized by this idea that's live television. In the same way as an athlete when they get on the field or on the court, you have to perform in that moment or it's past you and you've missed.
I've done drives through Budapest and Oslo and used to drive to Sardinia, too, which is quite a journey. Drives are an adventure because I don't plan them too carefully. I take detours depending on how I feel and usually stop and stay at places I like the look of.
Sometimes we had to improvise. I hate to improvise because I felt like I couldn't find words.
I never rehearse. Never! I think it's a waste of time.
I don't know why people think I'm this ad-lib dude.
All my performances have been unrehearsed.
You just have to adapt to what is needed at that moment, whereas as coaches are going crazy, because they're used to having and following a schedule. Everything's laid out in front of them on when they're going to practice and when they're going to take a plane to this city.
90 percent of the records I make are spontaneous.
In any case, I am not a great one to make plans for the future.
My whole act is off the top of my head.
If I have a day off, I want to get on a plane and go to Paris! If I have a couple hours off work, I want to run to the market and make a four-course meal. I like to do things that are unexpected.
We wrote 'Tush' at a soundcheck in Alabama in about six or eight minutes.
I ad lib. I've gotta bring my own into it.
Flair was a guy who 90 percent of your match was called on the fly, while Savage was a guy who had 90 percent of it set in stone before the match began.
Whatever you see me do is spontaneous reactions on stage. It's nothing planned. It's nothing that I got in the room and tried to think of hard. It just happens through feeling.
I have no plans, and no plans to plan.
One thing about my dinner parties - they're never planned. I go to the grocery store, and I buy whatever is on sale. I get a lot of it, and I just send out a mass text: 'I just bought food. Dinner's at 8. Text me if you're coming.'
Let’s make plans,” I ventured. And Sofia smiled and said, “No, let’s leave it to chance.
News events cannot be controlled, nor can newscasts be mapped out like entertainment shows.
I always imagine people give succinct answers. I have no prepared thoughts on what I do.
My strategy is that I actually have absolutely no strategy.
I think it is OK to surprise people.
There's something about a variety show, I think, that disarms us as consumers of something. We're laughing, and there's this sense of anything goes, anything could happen.
