In everybody's life, there is LOVE, there is SORROW, there is melancholy. And there MIGHT be danger as WELL.

If you have a COMPLETE set of salad bowls and they all SAY Kool Whip on the side, you might be a REDNECK.

Perfectionism and PROCRASTINATION have such a fine LINE. You say, 'Well, I want it to be GOOD. I want it to be perfect.' But what you're REALLY doing is not doing your work. You're putting off showing up and being visible because then you're going to be judged, and it MIGHT suck.

Perhaps the greatest challenge for the resolution of a systemic GLOBAL bank is the POSSIBILITY that PUBLIC or private actors in different countries might TAKE local actions that would cause the overall resolution to spin out of control.

I think that everything's hard now anyways, so you MIGHT as well do STUFF that you LOVE and believe in.

The 'OK Plateau' is that PLACE we all get to where we just stop getting better at SOMETHING. Take typing, for example. You might TYPE and type and type all day long, but once you reach a certain level, you just don't get appreciably faster. That's because it's become automatic. You've moved it to the back of your mind's FILING CABINET.

No one ever actually said they were RESISTANT because 'Pitch Perfect' was female-centric. When a PROJECT is SITTING there for a while, you start to SPECULATE about what could be the thing that might be a LITTLE tricky about it.

I KNOW that I'm GOING to have to work hard, keep working hard, and not because of this victory think, 'I'm back.' I don't think like that. I'll definitely work hard. THINGS are not going to be easy. I might lose first round NEXT week. You never know.

The more I act, the harder it gets, SINCE I feel like I still have so much to learn. Whenever I embark on a new project, it ALWAYS FEELS like the first time. If it were easy to me and I felt like I KNEW everything, my ACTING might have been different. I think the feeling of 'newness' keeps me on my toes and concentrated.

Oh, I LOVE ladies in HATS! One rule of restaurants: never take a hat from a lady; wait for her to offer you the hat because she might not WANT to take it off - she might not have had TIME to do her hair PROPERLY.

My MIND MIGHT be CONSERVATIVE, but at HEART, I was ALWAYS a socialist.

I do what I love, thank GOD. I GET to make music and get inspiration through Judaism. I can see why people might be SURPRISED, because it's not been done before. It's CERTAINLY not typical. People are always trying to wrap head their around it. But it's probably simpler than everyone thinks.
