Your tongue runs before your wit.
'Painting like a child' isn't a negative for me... it's something only great artists can really achieve. The childlike quality of some of Picasso's drawings is precisely what makes them so masterful and extraordinary; the ability to express complete visions, feelings and portraits through a continuous line.
Even talking, I'm super-loud. I could never have that kind of meek, little wispy whimsical lavender and lace voice. It comes from my body. There's no way I can fight it.
I didn't know what kind of sound I wanted to make. I didn't have no influences. I just heard my voice in the microphone and was like, damn, I like that.
The nice thing about working with BOOM! on 'Irredeemable' and 'Incorruptible,' man, was they let me have my head. No one said boo about anything.
There was definitely a wild side to me that couldn't run free growing up in England.
I long for the raised voice, the howl of rage or love.
For the stage displays the first vigorous expression, as the natural thing and without conspicuous restraint, of private individuality.
When I was younger, I thought I had to shut myself off, work really hard to cry. I learned after a while that that's just not... You know, often in life, you cry when you're caught off-guard. That's where I need to be when I'm acting, too.
I have no restrictions, no limits, no musical history to live with.
I'm free. I'm free to say what I feel.
On one plane, the very great writers and the popular romancers of the lower order always meet. They use all of themselves, helplessly, unselectively. They are above the primness and good taste of declining to give themselves away.
The words walked right out of my mouth.
I do not know if you bridle your pen, but when my pencil moves, it is necesary to let it go, or - crash!... nothing more.
The songs that I like are the ones that you can't visualize, that are just cries from the heart - those very straight, direct songs that make rock & roll music so wonderful.
I don't want everything to be flowery perfection. I like it there to be a charge behind it, you know?
Let all of life be an unfettered howl.
I can't allow myself to censor myself.
Real laughter is spontaneous. Like water from the spring it bubbles forth a creation of mingled action and spontaneity - two magic potions in themselves - the very essence of laughter - the unrestrained emotion within us!
Puppets can get away with saying things that human beings can't. Because they are cartoonish just to look at, they're not real, you can assign them insane things to feel and vocalize.
I base everything on my instinctual approach. There's something very satisfying in that creativity, and it's a bit like an infant drawing.
Freedom is the only law which genius knows.
The only place where any artist feels liberated is doing independent music. I have had great experience making music for The Dewarists and Coke Studio. No actor, producer or label is telling me what to do with my music. I'm the boss. It is my life, my expression.
Twitter is now an anger video game for many users. It is the only platform on which people feel free to say things they'd never say to someone's face.
I wanted to play music. I didn't think about where it would go or what it would do.
