Authors, like coins, grow dear as they grow old.
I loved her like a rabbit loves a rattlesnake
My favorite songs are my favorite songs because they just feel like a certain moment, or a certain photo, just a snapshot for whatever three or four minutes the song is.
I'm happiest when I'm working. If I'm not working, I feel like I'm wasting my time.
The idea that our son would be like Raymond Babbitt was a shocking reordering of everything. And something we couldn't quite fathom, really.
You can have a team of unconventional thinkers, as well as conventional thinkers. If you don't have the support of others you cannot achieve anything altogether on your own. It's like a cry in the wilderness. In each instance there were others who could see the same thing, and there were others who could not. It's an obvious difference we see in those who you might say have a bird's eye view, and those who have a worm's eye view. I've come to realize that we all have a different mind set, we all see things differently, and that's what the human condition is really all about.
I like to come to Washington, D. C. , at least once a year. Why should my tax money travel more than I do?
Rock stars are like sports stars: If you snap your ankle, you're done.
I don't have a favorite director just like I don't have a favorite color or I don't have a favorite food. I like everything.
You can't please everyone, and you can't make everyone like you.
If the peasants are in open rebellion, then they are outside the law of God. Therefore let all who are able slash, strike down, and kill (those who rebel) openly and secretly, remembering that there can be nothing more venomous, harmful, or devilish than a rebel.

I was such a nerd. It just wasn't something I would have wanted. And I didn't want to act like an adult.
. . . there are a lot of shredders in country music - Redd Volkaert, Brent Mason, Dan Huff. . and guys like that
I'd like to be remembered as someone who showed up for the job. I consider myself a worker.
Sport strips away personality, letting the white bone of character shine through. Sport gives players an opportunity to know and test themselves. The great difference between sport and art is that sport, like a sonnet, forces beauty within its own system. Art, on the other hand, cyclically destroys boundaries and breaks free.
Men have to have heroes, but no man can ever be as big as the need, and so a legend grows around a grain of truth, like a pearl.
I wouldn't like Greece to stay recession. I do think that everything has to be undertaken to reconnect with growth.
I'm having fun opening up. Sort of struggling to get the audience into it. It's good. It makes you fight. Not fight like antagonistic. But fight for what you believe.
I like giving. Doing something for somebody else feels good.
We think sometimes we're only drawn to the good, but we're actually drawn to the authentic. We like people who are real more than those who hide their true selves under layers of artificial niceties
