Zitat des Tages über Mal / Times:
Television is what it's always been. The best of times and the worst of times at the same time.
Once you have the pattern of life of this person, the choreography, so to speak, you have the canvas that you present eight times a week, not without feeling underneath it, but it's not as churning as the discovery process was.

Thought is a strenuous art - few practice it, and then only at rare times.
It's hard for me to get used to these changing times. I can remember when the air was clean and sex was dirty.
I have experienced sexism multiple times, and I'm sure I will a lot more.
Not even the most powerful organs of the press, including Time, Newsweek, and The New York Times, can discover a new artist or certify his work and make it stick. They can only bring you the scores.
How can a coach have any influence over a player that's making over five times more than he is?
The highest pay cheque my mother ever received funded the building of a nursery school in Shepherd's Bush - the school cost well over three times the money she donated to the making of the film 'The Palestinian.' Unsurprisingly this always goes unmentioned in the press.
As an actor, you're lucky if you get a month before a project starts. There are times when you get a day before a project starts.

Most people are embarrassed to admit there's another human being that's in control of them, that your heart beats three times as fast because you've given yourself to someone else.
You can only mend the vase so many times before you have to chuck it away.

It constitutes a superhuman effort to lead any people in times of crisis. Without them, the changes would be impossible.
The Undertaker's beaten me down pretty bad quite a few times.
I was very down as a teenager, very upset because I had gotten hurt in a car accident. But my dad was a source of strength. He used to say, 'It's the character with strength that God gives the most challenges to.' I've thought about that so many times in my life when things didn't go right.
Nothing could ever stop Kiss. I've seen the band in down times where critics were like vultures circling overhead saying things like, 'Well, you know it's the end of your career.'
I think we invent jargon because it saves times talking to one-another.
Personally, I've found one of the more stimulating ways of playing in recent times has been to kind of move outside the free improvised area and work with people who are probably improvisers but they have a particular way of working.
I did love 'The Artist.' I've seen it four times, and every time I see it, it gets better and better.
As a child or young adult going through an illness, it can be stressful at times and boring and extremely alienating.
As a political metaphor, a revolution could, in that sense, mean only a return to better times, or to the true constitution: a ridding of excess or usurpers.
Blow the dust off the clock. Your watches are behind the times. Throw open the heavy curtains which are so dear to you - you do not even suspect that the day has already dawned outside.

When our forefathers put down roots in desolate places, the thing that allowed them to survive was that they had a faith to see them through the tough times.
I think a lot of times, in a lot of modern-day movies, a lot of things are CGI, but so much of the stuff in 'Star Wars' is built and created by these artists.
The liquidation of colonialism is a trend of the times which no force can hold back.
Regarding comments attributed to me in the Los Angeles Times - allegedly made on a bus trip from Germany to Holland in 1998 - I emphatically denounce such comments as false.

Weave me a rope that will pull me through these impossible times.
A lot of times black folks look for love in all the wrong places. You're always looking for somebody to love you, be accepted, and there's the insecurities that are even transmitted through rap. Everyone is trying to aim to please too much.

Often times, I'm surprised by what I'm writing or what I'm playing, and then that inspires me to keep going with it, so it ends up being a very adventurous process.
Maybe it was all those wild times that kept me young.
