I deal with more complex rhythmical patterns than a regular tap dancer. I even think in rhythms.
I highly recommend worrying. It is much more effective than dieting.
First of all, I think the situation today is different. We're in a different place than we were in '93, '94.
If you know how to spend less than you get, you have the philosopher's stone.
Well, first of all, we did lots of studies where we show practical intelligence doesn't correlate with G. We have probably two dozen studies that practical intelligence better predicts job success than IQ.
But why is it that in music, anything more than 5 years old - apart from a few hits - is never played on radio to the young public?
It is always more difficult to fight against faith than against knowledge.
I'd rather be the king of kids, than the prince of fools.
This might be the first generation where kids are dying at a younger age than their parents and it's related primarily to the obesity problem.
I don't intend to stay around any longer than I feel I can be No. 1.
It is in the thirties that we want friends. In the forties we know they won't save us any more than love did.
The smallest pain in our little finger gives us more concern than the destruction of millions of our fellow beings.
The ancients understood the regulation of power better than the regulation of liberty.
I was built up from my dad more than anyone else.
There has got to be more to life than being a really, really, ridiculously good actor.
That's what I like about Neil Jordan's films: everyone is better at what they do than you are.
I was once in a very, very bad car accident. So my drawing arm is full of pins and platinum stuff. Occasionally it hurts. But I found that after the arm was put back together I could draw better than before. I have no idea why.
We know more about our credit cards than we know about our bodies.
I love playing live now more than ever. I enjoy it, I think it keeps you young.
He who commits injustice is ever made more wretched than he who suffers it.
You are always trying to make something that is more than the sum of its parts.
It goes without saying that you should never have more children than you have car windows.
I really do encourage other manufacturers to bring electric cars to market. It's a good thing, and they need to bring it to market and keep iterating and improving and make better and better electric cars, and that's what going to result in humanity achieving a sustainable transport future. I wish it was growing faster than it is.
It's pretty rough in South Africa. It's a rough culture. Imagine rough - well, it's rougher than that.
In New York alone, there was an average of more than 300 campus fires per year between 1997 and 2000, with roughly 160 of them annually in dormitories.
Men are much oftener thrown on their knees by the melancholy than by the agreeable passions.
American history is longer, larger, more various, more beautiful, and more terrible than anything anyone has ever said about it.
I always choose to look, as much as one can, at the supernatural not being something that exists outside of nature, but a deeper, fundamental heart of nature that perhaps humans... have lost touch with. It's a more primal thing than perhaps we are attuned to in our modern, self-aware way of life.
If we know what that set point is, we can predict fairly accurately when you will be in flow, and it will be when your challenges are higher than average and skills are higher than average.
Maybe it is something to do with age, but I have become fonder of poetry than of prose.
It's interesting to me because theater is, on any given day, 10,000 times harder than film and television. And that's not to say film or television can't be hard or challenging; it's emotional to do the same thing over and over and over. But in terms of stamina, there is nothing like an eight-show week to separate the men from the boys.
All the music that I've made in the past I've believed in. I think some of it has been more commercially successful than others, but it wasn't premeditated.
Since I was 13 or 14 I've always felt older than I actually am.
Ours was a very progressive Protestant family, but my parents were God-loving rather than God-fearing. We went to church, and I still go with my mum and dad when I return home - it's a family thing. I played flute in my dad's marching band, but I had an integrated upbringing. We had a lot of Catholic friends.
To travel hopefully is better than to arrive.
Loneliness is never more cruel than when it is felt in close propinquity with someone who has ceased to communicate.
