I want music to move me, and I don't think it can do that without at least a link to tonality. It's the tug between atonal and tonal which makes music poignant.
Do you think I really care what Jeff Gordon says?
White people think one thing and black people think another thing about the same event. And we automatically, before we really know what happened, kind of pick our sides.
I want to create situations that give people something to think about.
I believe women should be independent and have their own life. But I also think that when a couple decides to have a family, things change because you need to live in unison.
I think Hugh Laurie is awesome. You just want to loathe that guy in 'House' because he is not a friendly person, but somehow or another, he is profoundly charming.
I think people in Hollywood are afraid of sentiment because they think audiences will reject it.
To be honest, the reason I have my cats is to force myself to think about something other than myself.
When you're in a good play and a good production, you find that you're in something that has a life beyond you. You think, 'Oh my goodness, this play's alive.'
I try to open up my heart as much as I can and keep a real keen eye out that I don't get sentimental. I think we're all afraid to reveal our hearts. It's not at all in fashion.
I think it's an area that one writes from that is curious because it is not a clearly defined partisan one.
I think some of the best music throughout the actual history of music itself came from cultures where they're not really looking for outside themes. It's developed from their hometowns - it's what they love and what they love to do.
I think one of the most important directions to be pursued in the 'sciences of human action' is to develop a natural-law ethics based on nature rather than, or at least to supplement, ethics based on theological revelation.
I'm working relentlessly at becoming a better fighter than I was yesterday. I think I've really shown that I'm a more evolved fighter these days than I've ever been.
'Fecundity' is an ugly word for an ugly subject. It is ugly, at least, in the eggy animal world. I don't think it is for plants.
I think people crave those meaningful situations, stuff about faith, identity, dilemmas of live paradoxes in our souls. It's going back to a time where lives were really defined by history, and also how you behave in the face of history. It's kind of interesting to go back to that simpler humanity, simpler but deeper.
The only spoof I think is the title, which was just we thought of very early on and it kind of stuck.
I'm a trained actress and I can do it, but I think that you have to prove yourself.
I think that one of the things that drives me in telling stories, and art in general, is finding the beautiful in a big mass of ugly.
I do not believe in pure idioms. I think there is naturally a desire, for whoever speaks or writes, to sign in an idiomatic, irreplaceable manner.
We are increasingly open to understanding how we are all connected and that if we sink the ship that we are all on, we all drown. However, we have simultaneously become so focused on our own life experiences that we think we are alone.
I think it's time that we have a women's show about the West. The concentration has been on the men and the Indians.
As both a student of history and a man devoted to living in the present, I admit that I do not spend a lot of time imagining how things might otherwise have been. But I do like to think there is a difference between being resigned to a situation and reconciled to it.
I think the important thing now is to have a celebration and then with determination move into our common, shared, different future.
How I say it has as much of an impact on what people think of me as what I say.
I was a shy child, and when I was 13, I started wearing braces on my teeth. I used to be acutely self-conscious, and I think writing was a way of withdrawing into my own imagination.
There's something interesting about playing live; you're in the moment, and I think it would be beneficial.
If we are building something that users need, and there is a lot of value we are driving, I think how search manifests in iOS will work out just fine.
One of the luckiest things that can happen to you in life is, I think, to have a happy childhood.
I think it's a Blondie tradition that all of our albums sort of have a wide spread of styles.
I think I definitely got scared by the second or third time a doctor told me I was dying.
I think everybody should have a great Wonderbra. There's so many ways to enhance them, everybody does it.
I think things changed as a result of a certain perception of our politics. When we went through our zealous, self-righteous period it didn't exactly win us any friends.
I support repeal, but I think we ought to also spend time on the replacement side of that. The Republican approach has never been, 'Let's get rid of this,' but, 'Let's replace it with something that does deal with a very real problem in our healthcare system.' And that is the entry's cost and lack of coverage.
I don't think you can decide how famous or not you become.
I think the older you get, the more 'let's cut to the chase' you get, 'let's quit quibbling about this, let's tell it like it is.'
