At one point, I didn't get out of bed for, I think, three months, and I went down to the bottom of the hill one day and I had to call somebody to get me to come back up - come pick me up because I couldn't physically walk up the hill.
It's none of their business that you have to learn how to write. Let them think you were born that way.
Even now, after whatever gains feminism has made in involving fathers in the rearing of their children, I still think virtually all of us spend the most formative years of our lives very much in the presence of women.
The first 'Polly and the Pirates' is about a prim and proper girl who gets kidnapped out of her comfy boarding school by a bunch of pirates that think she's the daughter of their long lost queen. In the course of the adventure, she discovers she has a natural penchant for swashbuckling, despite her sheltered childhood.
Honestly, if the worst these people can say about me is that I'm gay, then I think I'll be fine. I can handle it.
'Das Kapital,' I think, is very difficult to read, and for me, it was not very influential.
Even writing verses from my first album, there were songs that I didn't use because I just felt that they weren't really for me. But I think that happens naturally when you write songs. You're in a different mood in every session. There's so many songs out there that could potentially be used by other artists.
When people have compassion, friendship, and unity, they speak and think in a constructive way to ensure national independence and prosperity.
I think it's too bad that everybody's decided to turn on drugs, I don't think drugs are the problem. Crime is the problem. Cops are the problem. Money's the problem. But drugs are just drugs.
I think it's a big deal to have a great soundtrack for a movie.
I think that I'm serious, but I don't think that I'm inordinately bleak.
I don't think fame is that important to me.
Americans... still believe in an America where anything's possible - they just don't think their leaders do.
It's not easy, but I truly that think being a good listener is an important part of being a good journalist.
I would be a pastor. It is something I think about doing when my playing days are over.
Still and all, why bother? Here's my answer. Many people need desperately to receive this message: I feel and think much as you do, care about many of the things you care about, although most people do not care about them. You are not alone.
I had never done TV. I think it's a foolish medium for, most rock 'n roll music. Nobody ever comes off well on TV.
I think it's a problem when journalists have the title of their article before they do the interview, because it biases the way they conduct it.
This sounds like my autobiography, but I thought this would be a good time to sound off about myself, as I think that I have been silent too long about my views and opinions.
I do think there must be some kind of interaction between your living life and the life that goes on from here.
I don't think people change. I think they definitely mature. But I think the essence of what I am today is the same as when I was five years old. It's just maturity. I've become a healthier, fuller expression of that essence.
And we had the perhaps unfair advantage of not having to worry about what an audience was gonna think. We were in a vacuum. We were making little short films, really.
A molcajete is a stone mortar and pestle from Mexico. They're great for grinding spices and making salsa and guacamole because they give everything a nice coarse and rustic feel. I've never collected anything, but I think I might start collecting these because each one is decorated differently.
There isn't a lot of poverty literature in the young-adult world. And I don't know why that is, but I think certainly I felt a gap.
We stole a box of honey jars one time and went out in the woods and took care of the whole box. I don't think I touched honey again for 20 years. I never wanted to see honey again.
I don't think anyone can tell you what it is that makes you a star.
Make yourself an example, achieve it, but don't hurt anyone on the way up. I don't think I did that.
The challenge is always around culture. I think that's often underestimated because people focus on the substance and the practical; soft steps go missing.
When it comes down to it, it's giving people a good night out in a basic way and I think my company guarantees that. There's always something new and something to excite us and surprise us, and that's why people come back, I hope.
But I think you can make fun of anything as long as it's funny enough.
I don't think of myself in a political way, though I am definitely a feminist.
I don't think too far ahead because I want to appreciate what's happening now.
I think the nine justices think the solicitor general is the 35th clerk.
But it's much more exciting to make Die Hard. One of the reasons that I think that movie is so successful is it deals with those very important blue-collar relationship themes. But it's more visually beautiful to show things blowing up. It just gives you more on the screen.
The best reason I can think of for not running for President of the United States is that you have to shave twice a day.
John Candy gave me a Hard Rock Cafe jacket, which was awesome because I was really from a very rural, small town, and it seemed so exciting to me. I think my mom still has that jacket.
