Sometimes I think that I want to do something strictly basic, really simple. Just with a few chords. But I won't have anything more than two or three sentences in my head. That kind of evaporates once I start playing and then it goes off in whatever direction.
No police department should hire more quickly than they can assimilate the people that they bring in, and we did. I take responsibility for it. It was the first opportunity I had to hire, and I wanted to do it, and I take responsibility.
Men still get a lot more opportunity. It is still a big part of the old boy network. They have more companies they can get money from.
A man is never more truthful than when he acknowledges himself a liar.
When I go from a role with heavy prosthetic makeup, which I've done quite a bit of as well, and then do a role where I'm not wearing any, I have to be conscious of toning everything down. Because when you're wearing prosthetic makeup, of course, you have to really move your face a lot more to convey things through the makeup.
If you've ever been in a position in your life where you just can't take any more, you just have to get through the next second, and the next second after that.
You get the part, sign the contract and start to realize millions of people follow this guy and know more about your character than you do.
No company is preferable to bad. We are more apt to catch the vices of others than virtues, as disease is far more contagious than health.
I would hazard a guess that we have found fossilized human remains of at least a thousand different specimens in South and East Africa, more or less complete at that. I think this is where the prelude to human history was primarily played out.
I prefer, in a word, the republican system, because it comes up more nearly to God's system.
We wish nothing more, but we will accept nothing less. Masters in our own house we must be, but our house is the whole of Canada.
But ya know what, I am a part of something that happened. I'm a part of the music that happened. My voice is one more instrument, is what it is. So that's the way I feel about people who play on sessions.
What I'm thinking about more and more these days is simply the importance of transparency, and Jefferson's saying that he'd rather have a free press without a government than a government without a free press.
As football gets more globalised, it's probably more important than ever to have one or two players in your team who have grown up in the same streets or been to the same schools as the hard-core fans.
I like to deal with EVERY aspect of our condition, and that means terror and humor in equal mix. Some books have more room for humor than others.
Unhappy, let alone angry, religious people provide more persuasive arguments for atheism and secularism than do all the arguments of atheists.
When I became more involved in music, I had to give up some of my writing in the literary sense. However, on occasion, I would write something for my own pleasure or I would write notes and introductory remarks in the songbooks I put together.
If I was working hard, she bled into my personality. I became more cynical.
It's more fun if you can control things like lighting and make special effects in the darkroom.
I used to be more of a wild kid. But I've slowed down.
Foreign-language books are sometimes more beautiful when you can't tell what's being said. It's like you ruin it by reading.
There's one fundamental law that all of nature obeys that mankind breaks every day. Now, this is a law that's evolved over billions of years, and the law is this: Nothing in nature takes more than it needs.
I think doing more live stuff's made us feel a certain way about that particular point. I quite like small clubs. I don't really like playing in big clubs, and I think I'm really into the idea of a few people being together.
There is pleasure when a sore is scratched, But to be without sores is more pleasurable still. Just so, there are pleasures in worldly desires, But to be without desires is more pleasurable still.
During 'Torches,' I was more concerned with communicating the spirit of the song than the actual lyrics.
Sometimes we spend more efforts with people that are strangers in terms of making an impression than the person that's closest to us. And you just gotta remember not to take for granted that person that's closest to you.
We assume that good-looking people are smarter and more effective than they really are, and that homely people are the reverse.
I believe more in the scissors than I do in the pencil.
Is this film more interesting than a documentary of the same actors having lunch?
Seasonally ploughing and harvesting crops will mash up a few moles, slice through a burrow of field mice and crush any ground-nesting bird chicks. Far more significant, however, is the creation of the field in the first place: an act that replaces entire ecosystems, along with all their animal inhabitants.
I think the degree of alienation and despair is more universal.
Is the cinema more important than life?
In the studio system, things are expected of a film. By the first, second, third act, there's a generic language that comes out of the more commercial system.
Sometimes we make the process more complicated than we need to. We will never make a journey of a thousand miles by fretting about how long it will take or how hard it will be. We make the journey by taking each day step by step and then repeating it again and again until we reach our destination.
It is vain to do with more what can be done with fewer.
I don't think the process was successful and should be inspected closer. I am not afraid to say I am not familiar with the entire process, so before commenting further I would have to study the process more in depth.
