A leading authority is anyone who has guessed right more than once.
In some cases non-violence requires more militancy than violence.
Everybody is bound by some social rules. But I think that artists need some kind of freedom to explore their minds and that some of them tend to take that freedom to live a little more openly or a little more dangerously, sometimes a lot more self-destructively, than other people.
I've been taking batting practice in my barn where nobody can see me, so I may be better than anyone thinks.
In the States, there's ESPN3, and each country has different options, and other than premiere league football, there tends to be very little global content. And movie and TV rights are pretty broad content.
I like myself still kind of being... because DJs used to be the background guy - the guy who was just doing the music - I see myself more as that guy than being on the stage.
The biases the media has are much bigger than conservative or liberal. They're about getting ratings, about making money, about doing stories that are easy to cover.
Don't confine truth to fact. Imaginative truth is as powerful, and often enough, more so than fact.
People in the U.S. will watch anything if it's put in front of their face over and over again. I like to see what's possible, more than anything.
For certainly there cannot be a higher pleasure than to think that we love and are beloved by the most amiable and best Being.
Being a mod is more of a sensibility than a style.

Whether you are a low-income elderly woman living at the end of a dirt road in Vermont or a wealthy CEO living on Park Avenue, you get your mail six days a week. And you pay for this service at a cost far less than anywhere else in the industrialized world.
An intelligent hell would be better than a stupid paradise.
I will say we now, in the polling in Wisconsin, much different than many other races, the public didn't perceive that we were getting a fair shake from the media.
I fought back, got injured again and I had to have another operation. I got down and depressed and I think I was drinking more than I should. Well, I know I was.
We're probably doing better business than we thought we would do especially considering the disappointing way the record company has handled the album.
If God made anything better than women, I think he kept it for himself.

Narcissist: psychoanalytic term for the person who loves himself more than his analyst; considered to be the manifestation of a dire mental disease whose successful treatment depends on the patient learning to love the analyst more and himself less.
Los Angeles gives one the feeling of the future more strongly than any city I know of. A bad future, too, like something out of Fritz Lang's feeble imagination.
I'm a hopeless romantic and I believe that you can find love in many different places and be very conflicted. I've discovered as I've grown up that life is far more complicated than you think it is when you're a kid. It isn't just a straightforward fairytale.
I like everything perfect. Everything has to be neat. My sister is 5, and she's more messy than I am. I make my bed every morning, everything's perfect. My shoes are all arranged. It's sad. I'm a little like Ray, a little bit.
With 'Duplicity', I was a little bit like, 'This isn't that hard of a movie.' This isn't like some huge brain trust of a movie.

In a nice way.

Insects are my secret fear. That's what terrifies me more than anything - insects.
Men are slower to recognize blessings than misfortunes.
Historically, Jews only accept converts rather than actively seeking them.
We have no other means of recognising a work of art than our feeling for it.
I used to write stories a lot because you had to fill your hours some other way than watching television. So my imagination was vivid, and I used to write a lot of stories. I wrote a novel, which I still have, which is so awful.
In the world of the present, in our time, we feel that suffering, anguish, the torments of body and soul, are greater than ever before in the history of mankind.
There are few better measures of the concern a society has for its individual members and its own well being than the way it handles criminals.
If a poet knows more about a horse than he does about heaven, he might better stick to the horse, and some day the horse may carry him into heaven.
