I think remixes give songs more life.
I read the Steve Jobs book, and that kind of changed everything. I've been, like, an Apple geek my whole life and have always seen him as a hero. But reading the book, and learning about how he built the company, and maintaining that corporate culture and all that, I think that influenced me a lot.
I think everyone has their personal stands, and everyone has challenges in their life.
It's really hard to see yourself and to recognize that you are a human being like everybody else. You just think everybody's judging you.
You hear stories about directors using manipulation to get actors to do certain things, but I think when you're working with professional actors, it's all about trust. They can do anything you want, it's just a matter of them understanding what you're looking for, and the reason why.
I think it's so important just to have confidence in your body. Everyone knows that confidence is sexy, and it's knowing your assets, your strengths, and just playing those up.
I always think of myself as a working girl.
My intuition comes up with better stuff than my head, I think.
I went to a very academic school, but I never really quite... I think because not that many people were particular creative or arty, I felt a little bit different.
All I can say is we love what we do, and the audience is still there for us. I think what's given us such longevity is that our music may not be fancy, but it touches a nerve with the average Joe.
Though as a psychologist I like to think that nothing human is foreign to me, I admit to having been repeatedly flabbergasted by the insouciance, and sometimes relish, with which our ancestors carried out and witnessed unspeakable cruelties.
I'm quite glad I never learned to play the guitar, because I think I'd write songs that were more classically structured. As it is, I've had to create my own way of writing, which isn't typical. Everything's a big crescendo.
I think my younger self would be more amazed to know I was doing an interview for 'The Spectator.'
The muse, the beloved, and duende are three ways of thinking of what is the source of poetry, and all three seem to me different names or different ways to think about something that is not entirely reasonable, not entirely subject to the will, not entirely rational.
It's interesting: when you're kind of 'known' for being a writer, people don't think you've done anything else.
I think that has been a benefit to me because I think most people understand quilts and not a lot of people understand paintings. But yet they're looking at one.
My first record was made in Termonfeckin, which is a small town on the north-east coast of Ireland. I had been in London, but it didn't click. So, at home, I didn't think about making something, just whether something could be made. There was no grand plan.
If people think that you're throwing babies out, dissecting children, to do stem-cell research, I'm not for that.
Yellow's more like, I'm not trying to be this sexy vixen or anything, obviously. I'm a very friendly person, and I literally do just want to be your friend. I think all of that is wrapped up in yellow. It seems to work. I like being in it.
I love Adele; she's a timeless, classic beauty. I think she's beautiful. She's just a real woman.
Is it a coincidence that in 1998, Barack Obama talks about a majority coalition of welfare recipients and in 2012 we got a record number of Americans on food stamps while he's president? I don't think it's a coincidence.
I don't want people to think of me as sexy.
I think, ultimately, the post-Reagan era will end with Scott Walker being elected the 45th President of the United States.
I'm not somebody who plans. There were times I planned a lot in my life, and it never turns out how you plan it. So I think it's important not to. I'm a very spontaneous person.
I think of L.A. as truly the melting pot. It's basically a mini-country unto itself.
Stand up is really fun because if I think of a joke or a funny idea, then I can just go and tell some people and if they laugh, they laugh right away.
And the reason for that I think is that in Australia our films don't get the exposure, so the process is foremost. But anyway, I love being part of the team and hate being stuck in a corner somewhere.
I think I can hold every portfolio - defense, finance and Foreign Ministry. I think personally I'd like the foreign office.
I think a father is important for everyone. If you don't have, then maybe not so much. In the world today, it's possible that you grow up with only one parent in the family.
I think everyone has experienced those boring arguments about whose turn it is to do the dishes.
I think it's a rite of passage that the minute you land in Japan, you have to go to a karaoke bar.
I think I could have been quite difficult to fathom as a youngster, this kid who didn't talk about himself very much.
I never talk about my opponent because I don't think it's my right to judge.
I think it is only natural that people have anxiety about the economy because the economy is real. It is their job, their ability to service their mortgage and look after their family. And in the final analysis, nothing is more important than your capacity as a breadwinner or an earner to provide for those that rely on you.
If there's one thing I've learnt, it's that I don't think a man ever looks better than when he's in a suit. So I'm wearing them increasingly, not in my personal life, but in my professional life, and I'm really enjoying it.
I'm not really massively into going out. I'm much more of a hibernator. It's nice to have people come to your house or go to someone's house, I think.
