We have a Boesendorfer piano that I play every day. It keeps my brain and my fingers active.
There is a whole separate filmmaking team that's doing it, but that's part of what's great about the Brain Trust and about the inspiring leadership of John Lasseter. He leaves it up to that creative group of individuals to help each other elevate each thing that they're working on to only try to make it better and to share what you've learned on the first one.
It's a wicked world, and when a clever man turns his brain to crime it is the worst of all.
Brains are far more important than money or connections. Everyone and anyone can create a business out of their bedroom.
Once in a while there are things the brain simply refuses to accept as being true because they appear too improbable, too unlikely, too preposterous.
For I consider brains far superior to money in every way. You may have noticed that if one has money without brains, he cannot use it to his advantage; but if one has brains without money, they will enable him to live comfortably to the end of his days.
Good writing is almost the concomitant of good history. Literature and history were joined long since by the powers which shaped the human brain; we cannot put them asunder.
Any kind of novelty or excitement drives up dopamine in the brain, and dopamine is associated with romantic love.
We have very similar brains. But they come out in different personalities.
Splatter the brain matter of my enemies, with the same bullet trajectory that murdered John Kennedy
I just want your body, Sheeba, I don't want your brains.
Japan had a more radical experience of future shock than any other nation in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries. They were this feudal place, locked in the past, but then they bought the whole Industrial Revolution kit from England, blew their cultural brains out with it, became the first industrialized Asian nation, tried to take over their side of the world, got nuked by the United States for their trouble, and discovered Steve McQueen! Their take on iconic menswear emerges from that matrix.
Diana Vreeland was "the Empress," the avatar of the age. An old name or old money were not enough to get you into Studio 54 - or Interview magazine, for that matter. You had to have a lot of something else, like looks or brains or wit or fabulous clothes.
The authority of depression is horrifying. I felt like my brain was busted and that I could never feel good again. I really thought that I was never gonna heal.
Time is an abstraction which, on earth, exists only for the human brain it has evolved.
(I'm) the only one to take out half a brain, although you would think, if you go to Washington, that someone had beat me to it.
The human brain works as a binary computer and can only analyze the exact information-based zeros and ones (or black and white). Our heart is more like a chemical computer that uses fuzzy logic to analyze information that can't be easily defined in zeros and ones.
A lot of people have gotten into comedy because of certain influences in their lives or events that were painful, and I really have wracked my brain to figure it out. I pretty much have had a normal childhood. Maybe it was too normal.
Don't cut bangs with a hatchet. Don't do brain surgery with a pickax.
I have written millions of words about contemporary England - in journalism. Why don't I take it as the background for a novel? I may do one day. But the simple answer is that it does not excite the novelistic part of my brain; it does not fire it up.
