My father is a college professor and that's about the extent of my college experience. I'm sort of a professional student forever. I think just as human beings we always have a student who is alive in us and is waiting to pop up and make us feel like we are 16 years-old again.
I think storytelling in general is how we really deeply know things. It's ancient.
He who is firmly seated in authority soon learns to think security, and not progress, the highest lesson in statecraft.
We should provide the meaning of the universe in the meaning of our own lives. So I think science doesn't necessarily have to get in the way of kind of spiritual fulfillment.
I think most people don't understand: I have nothing to do with that. I just open my mouth, and it comes out that way.
I feel that its important for me to be out there and to represent the face. At the same time, for me as an individual, I think the Asian-American face can be crowded with the American identity.
I think, certainly in the more civilized societies, women's roles are growing in power all of the time.
I think luck falls on not just the brave but also the ones who believe they belong there.
Sometimes people walk into plays by accident - they don't even know what they're looking at; they just think to give it a chance. That can be the beginning of a long friendship.
Liberalism is, I think, resurgent. One reason is that more and more people are so painfully aware of the alternative.
I think there's a bit of the devil in everybody. There's a bit of a priest in everybody, too, but I enjoyed playing the devil more. He was more fun.
In terms of segments, I think we've done 1,200.
I think every person should have some faith inside him, in his heart. What matters is not an external display of this faith, but the inner state of the soul.
I finally did work out a very good relationship with my father, but it was rough growing up. We had a lot of conflict, and I think it surfaced in many of my works.
I think we are always right to worry about damaging consequences of new technologies even as we are empowered by them. History suggests we should not panic nor be too sanguine about cool new gizmos. There's a delicate balance.
I think an education is not only important, it is the most important thing you can do with your life.
Kids can make fun of you for having the wrong shoelaces: that's just kids. But I don't think I had any trouble making friends.
It's fun to be on the edge. I think you do your best work when you take chances, when you're not safe, when you're not in the middle of the road, at least for me, anyway.
I think rock 'n' roll would become exponentially, considerably more difficult to perform past about 65.
I will always come back to do Australian films. I think it matters. I think we can make films that people go and see. And I don't think it's too much to ask that films in this country make a profit and that we embrace them.
I think we raised about 20,000 pounds. There was a live performance thing so we thought we'd donate the equipment for an online charity in Britain. I hated to part with my guitar, but it was for such a great cause.
In the original script, my character was a basketball player rather than a boxer. I didn't think I could pull that off. I'm a little short to be a basketball player!
I've done it 30 years. I don't know what there is to gain by doing it 40. But I think there is something about doing it over that length of time that says something. That's seven U.S. presidents and five presidents of McDonald's.
I don't think of myself as a role model.
I think, with the gay liberation movement has had need for heroes and heroines, and it would be rather nice to have Abraham Lincoln as your poster boy, wouldn't it?
I think my books come out very visual, which is an obvious consequence.
I think I just say what I'm thinking. And - you know, if people relate to it, they relate to it, but - I really - you know, if you really listen to me, I don't have my finger on any pulse.
I think sometimes negative campaigning, like so much, is in the eye of the beholder, and I don't think we'll ever get rid of it.
They succeed, because they think they can.
I'm moved to think about the political state of our country right now. Most people who go out and vote have a very clear sense of what's right and wrong. And a lot of those people who don't aren't sure, so they don't go out and vote.
I think acting is definitely the most fulfilling, because it's the most challenging in my mind.
I'm the guy who wrote The Authority Song. Did they think I was kidding? Did they think it was only a song to entertain?
There are a lot of poems where I am questing for God. I don't think there is any finding of God.
I don't think you should categorize yourself as an artist.
When the photographer is nearby, I like to say, 'Quick, get a photo of me looking into the camera,' because I'm never looking into the camera. Christopher Nolan looks into the camera, but I think most directors don't, so whenever you see a picture of a director looking at the camera, it's fake.
I think all industries are sexist in nature and I don't think the film industry is any different.
