We didn't have a TV in the living room and all my friends thought we were kind of weird. When they'd come over, my mom wanted to talk to them about current events.
My second album was written while I was on the road promoting the first record. I tried to take my personal experiences and elevate them to universal experiences, so that I wasn't writing songs about living on a tour bus or being on a TV set for the first time.
My son Cooper has just turned ten and the sarcasm fairy has already started to take up residence inside his body. Not only am I living with my mother - again! - but I've also got her mini-me to contend with.
Agricultural practice served Darwin as the material basis for the elaboration of his theory of Evolution, which explained the natural causation of the adaptation we see in the structure of the organic world. That was a great advance in the knowledge of living nature.
Ideologies do not map the complete living processes of a World.
Liberalism can only be defined negatively. It is a mere critique, not a living idea.
Let there be more joy and laughter in your living.
London has always provided the landscape for my imagination. It becomes a character - a living being - within each of my books.
As a reward of their clean living and good habits these great stars have been able to withstand the rigorous test of stamina and physical exertion and have thus successfully extended their most remarkable careers over a period of many strenuous years.
Everybody that's living in this earth is living in a situation. It's not narrow-minded to the point where everybody is serious and nobody has a personality. I think people die telling jokes.
He who postpones the hour of living is like the rustic who waits for the river to run out before he crosses.
Of all the writers I have read, Vladimir Nabokov has made the biggest impression on me because he, despite living through the 1917 February Revolution, forced exile amidst the anti-Semitism in Nazi Germany, the two World Wars and quite a lot of controversy, was an author who never gave up.
While we enjoy the benefits of living in the greatest democracy in the world, we must be ever conscious of the fact that none of the achievements or freedoms enjoyed in America would be possible without the price that has been paid for by our servicemen and women.
We deserve quality jobs that pay a living wage, lower college tuition, action on climate change, and comprehensive immigration reform.
Over the years, music put a weapon in my hand and words in my mouth, it backed me up and shielded me, it shook me and scared me and showed me the way; music opened me up to living and being and feeling.
Proper stance and movement are obviously genetically old, environment-resistant behaviours. Misuse, with all its psychosomatic or, rather, somato-psychic consequences, must therefore be considered a result of modern living conditions - of a culturally determined stress.
Anyone who attempts to generate random numbers by deterministic means is, of course, living in a state of sin.
When I was a kid, I wanted to walk with my dad's limp - my dad was my hero - but that infuriated him, and he would make me walk back and forth in the living room until I walked without it.
Italy is definitely where I feel most at home, or alternatively, living in total wilderness, in the bush in Australia.
One of the things that is devastating is I realise I haven't been living a different life than when I was, like, 12. I'm shocked at how reclusive I've been since then. I was unaware of it until recently.
A little simplification would be the first step toward rational living, I think.
Woz is living his own life now. He hasn't been around Apple for about five years. But what he did will go down in history.
I think every parent, every generation has wanted their children to do better and have a higher standard of living. But I think there's too much guilt.
I'm not a big fan of working out. Living in Los Angeles makes it much easier for me; I don't ever have an excuse not to be outside.
Be kind to the living.
Life is a dangerous thing. Insecurity is the price of living.
If you make a living, if you earn your own money, you're free - however free one can be on this planet.
I just wanted to be a guy who could earn a living as an actor, and I did that for a long time.
If you make your living writing, and you can't write anything, it's over. It's very frightening.
I don't think life is about a pace, living slow or fast. I think you just live, y'know what I mean?
What a miserable thing life is: you're living in clover, only the clover isn't good enough.
One of my reasons for living in California is its close proximity to Mexico. The Latin influence is in every corner of the community. My love of Spanish music hasn't wavered since the '50s. I could hear the blues voicing from the Flamanco families and I always dig for inspiration in Latin music.
Living is more a question of what one spends than what one makes.
Live as if you were living a second time, and as though you had acted wrongly the first time.
My wife taught me the importance of living well.
Post-human intelligence will develop hypercomputers with the processing power to simulate living things - even entire worlds. Perhaps advanced beings could use hypercomputers to surpass the best 'special effects' in movies or computer games so vastly that they could simulate a world, fully, as complex as the one we perceive ourselves to be in.
