I'd rather deal with Tipper than Bush. He's trying to kill everybody in jail.
Things are more like today than they have ever been before.
Studies show when people yell, they get themselves even angrier. Interesting factoid: If you and/or your partner's heartbeat becomes higher than 100 beats per minute during an argument, you will not be able to fully understand/process what the other is saying.
Too many people, because they were white and poor, black and rich, or just plain busy with something other than politics, have felt they had no voice in our government.
As a guitar player, it's harder for me to impress somebody than it is to write a song that they like.
Morality is a test of our conformity rather than our integrity.
I use a lot more chords than most organists and I'm careful to phrase them with the guitar.
Animals can adapt to problems and make inventions, but often no faster than natural selection can do its work - the world acts as its own simulator in the case of natural selection.
At the heart of globalisation is a new kind of intolerance in the West towards other cultures, traditions and values, less brutal than in the era of colonialism, but more comprehensive and totalitarian.
I will never be an old man. To me, old age is always 15 years older than I am.
A singer for me is more like someone who is standing alone with a microphone like Scott Walker, rather than someone who is bashing a plank and is spitting all over a microphone.
In praising science, it does not follow that we must adopt the very poor philosophies which scientific men have constructed. In philosophy they have much more to learn than to teach.
I've had two callers ask, 'Did you ever work for someone who is poorer than you are?' Their idea is it takes a rich person to give you a job because jobs are something that are given to you, an inferior, from on high.
I love the intimacy of making movies. The focus is deeper and much more intense than musical theatre.
The most frequently asked question I hear first-time entrepreneurs ask is, 'How do I know when to launch my product?' The answer, more often than not, should be: 'Now!'
I wanted to be a pianist but it just wasn't my thing. I guess I wanted to stand up rather than sit down.
'New' movies are almost always hipper, faster, they mix genres aggressively, they smother their genre origins in new form, there are fewer of them, and they tend to cost a lot more money because you usually make more money on the megahit than you do on the steady progression of break-eveners. Except for the horror movie.
Right now, my voice is better than ever. It changed. I have better low notes than I had before.
It is better to destroy one's own errors than those of others.
Khloe has the youngest hands. You can tell a woman's age by her hands, and she taught me that. She has way younger hands than I do because she's addicted to wearing sunscreen on them. I'm not consistent with it, but maybe that will be my new year's resolution.
My hard work and excellent training entitled me to be a better actress than some of my competitors.
I'm always going to get more of a charge playing Chicago than I will Duluth or some place like that. Just because of the history and the people there are way more knowledgeable than a lot of other cities. It's an amazing music scene with some great bands and great musicians.
Last month, the Iraqi people went to the polls, voting in their first free election in more than 50 years.
Black English is simpler than standard English in some ways; for example, it often gets by with just 'be' and drops 'am,' 'is,' and 'are.' That's because black English arose when adult African slaves learned the language.
So I saw many planets, and they looked just a little bit brighter than they do from Earth.
If God created us in his own image, we have more than reciprocated.
I was there less than a year before I was assigned to the Paris bureau. I spent two years there and, in fact, before I even went on the staff I was sent to Europe to do assignments which they wouldn't normally do for a young photographer just starting out.
Systems are complex, so controlling an attack and achieving a desired level of damage may be harder than using physical weapons.
I can't tell you how many board meetings I've been in where the CEO is anguished over the impacts on morale that cost cutting or layoffs will bring about. You know what hurts morale even more than cost-cutting and layoffs? Going out of business.
People get nervous driving around corners, thinking they're going to tip over. But you can go soooo much faster through the curves than you realize.
And no, we don't know where it will lead. We just know there's something much bigger than any of us here.
Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I needn't argue with that; I'm right and I will be proved right. We're more popular than Jesus now; I don't know which will go first - rock and roll or Christianity.
Live one day at a time emphasizing ethics rather than rules.
It will never be Hollywood, the same way people think it should be. I think it will grow and it will be healthy and it will expand into more than one production house.
I like words. Words are places, rooms, distant airs, thin and tropical. They make us feel and imagine we are more than our bodies.
After you're older, two things are possibly more important than any others: health and money.
