I like to think of thoughts as living blossoms borne by the human tree.
I think the media is a real demon.
I go to temple a lot less than I would like because when I do, people still look at me as if they think it's a publicity stunt.
The reason sport is attractive to many of the general public is that it's filled with reversals. What you think may happen doesn't happen. A champion is beaten, an unknown becomes a champion.
I think that people who have Vegas throat are people who sing from their throats only.
I think the reason I'm a writer is because first, I was a reader. I loved to read. I read a lot of adventure stories and mystery books, and I have wonderful memories of my mom reading picture books aloud to me. I learned that words are powerful.
I think I have come to a place where I'm able to feel more comfortable about being honest.
My wife has about everything I can think of.
I don't watch my own films very often. I become so jittery and ready to cry... and miserable. I think it's awful.
I'd like to think a baseball picture is somewhere in my future.
I think being a foreigner and talking about Hollywood allowed me to use some cliches and some references that an American would maybe not use.
When most people in the West think about Africa, is their first thought about the game reserves and who's chasing gazelles, or are they looking at Africans as people who are equally equipped to do great things, as in the West?
Who do you think I am, Pete Rose? I don't bet. I come from a long line of compulsive gamblers. Gambling scares me.
I think the focus of the media changes. At the moment the more electronic stuff like trip-hop was the flavor of the month, just a little while ago. It all depends on the angle, from which point of view you see it.
I need privacy. I would think that because what I do makes a lot of people happy that I might deserve a little bit of respect in return. Instead, the papers try to drag me off my pedestal.
I think the first photograph I did was a ballplayer. It was a way of showing action or something.
I think comedies should be short. I don't want to be self-indulgent; I don't want a two-hour comedy.
I think Ronald Reagan was one of the great presidents, period, not just recently. I thought he had the demeanor. I thought he had the bearing. I thought he had the thought process.
I think the PC will continue to be around for a long, long time to come. We see a new range of products evolving around the PC, but it's not going away.
The whole idea of doing the Hollywood thing never even occurred to me. When you grow up on the East coast, Hollywood seems like this fantasy land and you don't think that people can actually make a living there.
The Beatles were raw musically, but I think they really had something.
I think that I've tried many times to get Cuba in my writings, especially Havana, which was once a great and fascinating city.
I think it is very important that films make people look at what they've forgotten.
The single guiding principle that I try to follow, assuming blindly that the rest will fall into place, is to operate squarely in the present. I think it's one of the most difficult things for anyone to do.
Anybody who gives away money is mostly looking at things where they think they can make a difference. I'm trying to help people who helped me, educational institutions that helped me with scholarships, or organizations that were very useful to me in growing up.
Everyone seems to be fleeing from the responsibilities that come from being who you are. I think that is why the blogosphere is thriving. It allows people to develop a fantasy self.
I can't be described as a sex symbol; I think it's ridiculous.
Many people think that depression is something you just have to live with when you get older, but it's not.
Marriage is a very good thing, but I think it's a mistake to make a habit out of it.
I think it is absolutely essential in a democracy to have competition in the media, a lot of competition, and we seem to be moving away from that.
I think you have to let go of this idea that you can be precious about everything, and let it be the abstract mess that it is.
I really think I'd have enjoyed the life of a Regency buck.
I think in every country that there is at least one executive who is scared of going crazy.
We must develop huge demonstrations, because the world is used to big dramatic affairs. They think in terms of hundreds of thousands and millions and billions... Billions of dollars are appropriated at the twinkling of an eye. Nothing little counts.
It would be great to do theater one day, but I don't think I'd do a musical.
As soon as you think you can do whatever you want and you have whatever great professional in the world waiting to work with you, then you are sunk.
