I was doing Hamlet in the off-season, and I had a specific idea in my mind about what I wanted that character to look like, and because it's going to lead into the next year, I knew that it was going to have to be established somewhere in the show.
I just like the idea of this creature or a being on the roof, you know? It's kind of spooky.
But the idea that I should be a teacher and a researcher of some sort did not vary over the years.
I don't think they knew exactly where they were going with the character, but they lay those stories out ahead of time, so they had some idea where they wanted it to go.
But I had no idea that they were going to pull the plug so quickly.
I am so busy doing nothing... that the idea of doing anything - which as you know, always leads to something - cuts into the nothing and then forces me to have to drop everything.
They didn't sell, people just weren't used to the idea of living in apartments.
I just fell into the Dylanesque idea of recording. He is real fast.
I haven't got the slightest idea how to change people, but still I keep a long list of prospective candidates just in case I should ever figure it out.
I really don't like going out. I don't like restaurants because I don't like the idea of someone, a waitress, being responsible for my evening. I like seconds, and more, and lots of conversation, and I've always hated the idea that in a restaurant an evening just ends. I find that incredibly depressing.
The Jug Band was exactly what I wanted to do, and it wasn't my idea.
Nobody could tell us or really had a very good idea, if there were a massive release of radiation, what kind of medical treatment people were going to need and this or that, or, indeed, whether there would be medical personnel around.
An idea can be as flawless as can be, but its execution will always be full of mistakes.
This was a really big opportunity. This script was even mediocre. The idea was great, but Jay came on with his guys made it great and very specific. It all came together well.
I have no idea what makes a director believe in me that I can sell these kind of roles.
