I think I was fortunate that even in the children’s home I had a boyfriend. How important it was, as an orphan at the age of 12, to be caressed and to be kissed and to know that there is someone who really deeply cared about me.
Anyone that has a job that takes them away from home, I think, can understand the difficulties in maintaining consistency, not only with your family and those you love but with your friends.
The pigeon dance came from a group from Rio de Janeiro who had a song in around 2012. A trend was started when I did the dance at home. Everyone started copying me.
My belief is that my wife should be at home looking after my kids and cooking and cleaning. She’s a very privileged woman to have a husband like me. Not everyone’s in her position, but the ones who are are very lucky. That’s my opinion.
I don’t eat out much. I eat mostly home food and no carbs after 5 P.M. You are what you eat, and Sunday used to be my cheat day, when I could eat chocolate; but there are no cheats to a good body. Now, I don’t give in.
Call me a nerd if you like, but I do find it hard to leave home without my laptop and a good book.
My grandma was so old-fashioned. She thought we were supposed to have homework every night. I would come home, and she would be like, ‘Where’s your homework?’ and I’d be like, ‘I don’t have none.’ She’d be like, ‘I’ma call your teacher.’
Minnesota is legit. There’s so much space to run, like back home in Texas.
Minimally invasive surgery is the way forward: the patient goes home the next day; there are fewer complications.
A well-designed home has to be very comfortable. I can’t stand the aesthetes, the minimal thing. I can’t live that way. My home has to be filled with stuff – mostly paintings, sculpture, my fish lamps, cardboard furniture, lots of books.
I watched Titanic when I got back home from the hospital, and cried. I knew that my IQ had been damaged.
When I travel, I can leave everything at home apart from books. I curate my holiday reading rigorously and would be devastated if I found I’d left one at home.
This isn’t an easy lifestyle for a coach’s wife. The coach is the guy who stands up and hears everyone tell him how great he is. The wife is the one waiting at home alone while the coach is spending every night at the office.
My sisters and brothers come up a fair bit for dinner at home. It’s basically a normal life; a normal family home. Dad cooks and we also take turns. If it’s my turn, I like to do a roast lamb or spaghetti bolognaise.
I never bothered with cars. I was probably one of the few kids in school who didn’t run around with hot-rod magazines. As I would be at home fiddling with my guitar, they would be fiddling with a car engine.
I’d love sloth. I wish sloth would come home and visit me once in a while. I don’t consider laziness a sin at all.
I daresay one good concert justifies a week of satisfaction at home.
I used to love the Wu-Tang Clan. They took my school by storm, by which I mean the three kids in my year who listened to hip-hop. I skipped lectures to go and buy their second album, ‘Forever’, and then rushed home to listen to it.
I’m never without Nerds and peanut M&M’s. I have a sweet tooth! I have an unlimited supply on hand at home, but the candy packs in my purse are not for sharing.
Sometimes, in the summer, I just step out of my home, and I see all these people – Montreal is like El Dorado. It doesn’t exist. It’s so perfect and beautiful and multicultural and chill and fun.
I do home schooling. I went to regular school until fifth grade, and then I started doing home schooling, which it’s completely different. I have a teacher on set with me and I just work with her, one-on-one.
The simplest questions are the most profound. Where were you born? Where is your home? Where are you going? What are you doing? Think about these once in a while and watch your answers change.
On even the worst days, when nothing was working at the lab, I knew that at home I would find warmth, peace, companionship, and encouragement. As a consequence, the next day would surely be better.
The world is my workshop. It is not my home.
I used to suffer from stage fright, which at times was an ordeal. I won’t perform live again. I’m going to do some TV shows and videos but nothing else… I don’t like to travel too much or do concerts. I’m more of a studio and home girl.
