I can rap in a London accent, make weird faces, wear spandex, wigs, and black lipstick. I can be more creative than the average male rapper.
Democracy is a device that ensures the people shall be governed no better than they deserve.
The Faces do not, as some have recently alleged, play badly. They are more than competent, especially at creating a mid-Sixties Rolling Stones-styled groove, as their excellent version of 'Memphis' proves.
It's just very dull. Talking about yourself and about something that you've got less interest in than you had, because you've always moved on to something else.
I was turning up at sets where inexperienced people were making these badly written films - but they were doing it; that was the point. They were getting their films out there. And they were paying me, so they obviously had access to money. I just thought, 'I can make something better than this.'
Creativity is an inherent human quality of the highest order. When we create, we become more than the sum of our parts.
For the last half of my life I have had the doubtful benefit of a brother whose literary reputation is much greater than my own.
There's no doubt whatsoever that there's no future in capitalism. It's probably no more than 500 years old, and it's demonstrating over and over again that it is destroying the world.
When my wife gets mad at me, I remind myself that she is much smarter than I am and so I probably deserve it, even if I don't really understand it!
Any woman can be a siren one minute and in pigtails the next. I am a very complex person with more than just the one facet that television played on.
The number of people who are actual supporters of Mr. Romney could very well be less than the Donner Party, whose members they sadly resemble in many ways.
Each generation of pilots hopes that they will leave their profession better off than they found it.
From my own perspective, I value productivity more than tradition, but the customs of the House evolve slowly.
Gun owners and non-gun owners alike agree on expanding background checks, making gun trafficking a serious crime with stiff penalties, making it illegal for all stalkers and all domestic abusers to buy guns, and expanding mental health resources so the mentally ill find it easier to receive treatment than to buy firearms.
W2K will be a bigger disaster than Y2K.
What seems to be generosity is often no more than disguised ambition, which overlooks a small interest in order to secure a great one.
I think I have a part of myself which is a woman. When girls are together, they speak completely differently than when there is a guy around. But, with me, they don't see this masculine thing stopping them, and there is not this boundary.
God decided when we would be born and when we would be born again. We have the Spirit and the Gospel. To think that we deserve to live in different times is to tell God that we deserve a better mission field than the one He has given us.
America must realize, there are conditions she must accept in Asia. The first is a diversity of Asian cultures, governments, economic and political systems; the second, that to run against the tide of Asian nationalism is worse than impractical - it is also highly dangerous.
We have been supporting GIS in schools for more than 25 years.
There is no greater call to service than that of our brave men and women who serve our country in combat across the globe.
I grew up really poor and have always been the type of person who will work earlier or work harder or more than the other person to even the playing field.
I'm very blue collar myself. So it was easy for me to embody that in a sense. It's much harder for me to embody Norrell than it is to embody Terry Donovan.
Those who say that the West and Islam are eternally irreconcilable have more in common with the Islam extremists than they might like to think, for it's the very same argument of course advanced by Al-Qaida. And they do have it wrong. We need to work with mainstream Islam.
I do agree that when it comes to cyber warfare, we have more to lose than any other nation on earth.
Analog sounds so much better. I frankly can't listen to digital audio for more than a few hours without really starting to hate what I'm listening to. Even decent 24-bit digital resolution really irritates me after a while.
I'd rather somebody punch me in the face than drop my sax.
I'd rather buy something that is relatively depressed than something that is relatively high.
Ideas are powerful because they allow us to see the world as it could be, rather than what it is.
Audiences are smarter than ever; they know if filmmakers cheat an environment.
To do it on film, where it'll be seen by more people than have seen the play since it was written, it humbles you.
With social media, there is a fashion that we speak louder than we think. It has just become a platform where people just judge and spread anger and hate.
Seeing is more than a physiological phenomenon... We see not only with our eyes but with all that we are and all that our culture is. The artist is a professional see-er.
I was number one in the ratings four times last year and twice this season. What could be more damn equal than that? If they get any more equal, I don't want it.
I'm a basket case. Yeah, you know, I put my foot in my mouth more than I speak properly.
My husband cooks fancier food for himself than I've ever cooked on-air. I call him from the road, and he's making champagne-vanilla salmon or black-cherry pork chop. Half of me is feeling unworthy. Not only am I not a chef, I'm not a better cook than my own husband!
