A lot of people like structure, so there's definitely a risk with being an artist that a lot of people aren't really willing to take.
Young adults love to play games and they're thirsty for social interaction, but a lot of bar and restaurant experiences are quite unsatisfactory on the social level. What young people need is a place that has the feel of an unhosted party where they find themselves interacting with like-minded strangers.
In theory, I absolutely love to work from home, in all its warmth and comfort, but have reluctantly been forced to confess that it's a total failure.
I've always enjoyed things a little more chaotic than most people would prefer. I feel that I run well in chaos.
I don't work well outside the lines; my report card once read, 'doesn't play well with others.'
When I lost my dad, there was no one there to be the disciplinarian, and we kind of ran amok.
When I was maybe like, under 10 years old, I was kind of like a maniac.
My dad was lackadaisical on the discipline front. I dropped out of everything at school.
My life has always been chaotic. From the time I got dressed in the back of a deflated, flat-tired, fish-smelling station wagon for Rocky. It's always been do it yourself, kind of like paper-clip it together.
My brother and I had a lot of freedom growing up, and thankfully, we both turned out OK.
My kids and I live like three fun-loving hermits. We're quite bohemian.
A father draws boundaries and calls a halt, whenever necessary. As I didn't have that, I was able to stay childishly naive that much longer - so I did what I liked, because there was nobody stopping me, even when I got it wrong.
One of the advantages of being disorderly is that one is constantly making exciting discoveries.
Both my brothers became physicians and I, of course, wandered into a business where the undisciplined are welcome.
When you have very lax parents, you tend to get more conservative kids.
If you give children the freedom to do very little, quite a lot will do very little.
My parents couldn't be looser. It was the ultimate laissez faire upbringing.
The main thing I got from growing up in a suburb is the boredom you have as a child.
My parents allowed their two sons to be individuals. My family was a wild and wonderful place, with lots of friends and neighbors visiting and talking loud and eating loud and nobody telling the children to be quiet or putting them down.
I wanted the Peace Corps to be something very vague and unorganized, and to a large extent it was. It did not run smoothly. The consequence was that we were left alone.
The frivolity with which all theatrical activity is conducted has one consoling feature-there are no rules of behavior that apply regularly to any part of the theatre.
I think Lincoln had a unique parenting style. He let his kids run free and wild.
I don't go to the afterparties. I think people always feel if I go to the afterparties, they have to behave well, which, after all, is not the point of an afterparty.
I'm a mess. My house is full of records, and my computer... I can't find the things that I want. But it usually seems to work out.
You grow up faster in a place where anything goes.
