I've hardly had an avant-garde career... If you're going to make a film, you have to try to make sure it comes out of a childlike passion, as if you're doing it for the first time.
I quite like childlike songs, which sometimes cross over.
My family made it through Hurricane Sandy. We have water, power, and a roof, but the survivor's guilt makes me want to hide. Sneak away from the brilliance of life. It shouts at me: 'Don't enjoy anything too much; people are suffering.' I feel childlike somehow.
My style is definitely schizophrenic; it does change from day to day a lot. It depends on my mood: sometimes I'll be going through a girly, childlike stage and wear a pretty lace dress with a bow in my hair. Then sometimes I'll be moody and just wear black.
Onstage was where I felt the most confident and in control and free, and as I've gotten older, it's gotten more and more daunting. And I think that's also part of my desire to keep confronting that and pushing through to find that childlike or youthful ignorance against fear and keep at it.
I think you have to keep a childlike quality to play music or make a record.
I think there's a part, just a part of comedians, that is still childlike.
Childlike surrender and trust, I believe, is the defining spirit of authentic discipleship.
I have heard show business characterized as a refuge for childlike persons in flight from all things harsh and real.
It is the childlike mind that finds the kingdom.
