French fries. I love them. Some people are chocolate and sweets people. I love French fries. That and caviar.
O Polly, you might have toyed and kissed, by keeping men off, you keep them on.
I never jumped into anything, and I never liked being cajoled into anything. I've pretty much always done things because I wanted to do them.
I like knowing that the further back one traces any lineage, the narrower the path grows, to the haunt of just a few shaggy ancestors, with luck on their side, little gizmos in their cells and a future storied with impulses and choices that will ultimately define them.
Throwaway pens are no good - I never liked them. I've tried them all.
I write in longhand and assemble lots of notes, and then I try to collate them into a coherent chronology. It's like groping along in the dark. I like writing and find it challenging, but I don't find it easy.
I decided very early on that the way to make a difference in my life and in other people's lives was to give them services and products that are actually for the many and not for the few.
If I am no longer disturbed myself, I will deal less with disturbed people, but I don't regret having concerned myself with them because I think most of us are disturbed.
When you're a choreographer and you put so much into a routine that's emotionally driven, those are like my ideas and my little babies that I have here and then I put them out there and they're there to be judged and looked at. When it's all over, it's just such a relief.
It is a great day anytime I can bring a smile to a girl or boy, knowing that I am helping to inspire them to always dream big.
I can't imagine how many first performances I've done, perhaps 500. Some of them have been very good, and some of course very bad.
A common criticism of establishment journalists entails comparing them to stenographers, on the ground that most of them do little more than mindlessly write down and uncritically repeat what government officials say.
Our waterboarding program is based on the U.S. military training program... tens of thousands of U.S. servicemen were waterboarded pursuant to this program to prepare them for the possibility of being captured someday so that they would know what it felt like.
I hate those men who would send into war youth to fight and die for them; the pride and cowardice of those old men, making their wars that boys must die.

It's got too much hard work slapping them and telling them to shut up.
I have planted over 6,000 trees at home in Scotland, some of them oak. I'd like my children to be able to watch them grow.

The meaning of things lies not in the things themselves, but in our attitude towards them.
I take them seriously but I try not to read them. I take them personally, that's why I don't read them. I think people are lying when they say they don't care, that's not true. I take them personally.
You do get really exhausted doing films. You work such long hours, and after a while, things can get out of perspective, just like if anyone's tired, things get on top of them.
I want my fans to love themselves. It's almost like I want to hypnotize them so when they hear my music they love themselves instantly.

For example, I was discussing the use of email and how impersonal it can be, how people will now email someone across the room rather than go and talk to them. But I don't think this is laziness, I think it is a conscious decision people are making to save time.

Wrinkles are hereditary. Parents get them from their children.
In my own relationships, I know that I should break up with someone who doesn't encourage me to be strong and make my own choices and do what's best in my life, so if you're dating someone who doesn't want you to be the best person you can be, you shouldn't be dating them.
When I speak to students and they ask how much money you can make in art, as if that is a reason to persue it, I tell them to do something else.
You can't crush ideas by suppressing them. You can only crush them by ignoring them.
I have a million acquaintances but just two or three true friends. I can't hide anything from them.
Passion is what adds so much value to life. And if you think about the things that you do, there's so much juice potential for them if you do it.
