A book may be compared to your neighbor: if it be good, it cannot last too long; if bad, you cannot get rid of it too early.
The people you choose to have around you make all the difference. My family and close friends keep me grounded. You have to have a mind of your own and a strong head on your shoulders. Cricket is the most important thing to me, so the rest of it pales in comparison.
Sometimes the song title comes with the songs, other times you just sorta make something up afterwards.
No one really listens to anyone else, and if you try it for a while you'll see why.
I was about half in love with her by the time we sat down. That's the thing about girls. Every time they do something pretty... you fall half in love with them, and then you never know where the hell you are.
I grew up doing sitcoms and theater and even playing with the Beach Boys, where you're programmed to perform, your body gets into a rhythm and you know it has to perform.
More government isn't going to help you get ahead. It's going to hold you back. More government isn't going to create more opportunities. It's going to limit them.

I always did sing. It's always been something I love to do but it has also been the most private and most secret thing that you don't really want to let the world in on.
You only need a few people to effect a kidnapping.
I can't tell you how many people have asked me to show them Stray Cat Strut and that little diminished run on the C. I guess my brain is wired backwards. I don't know what possessed me to do that, but I did.
Recently, I was preparing to sing Springsteen's 'If I Should Fall Behind' for a wedding and was unable to get through it without tears. My wife handed me 'Love You Forever.' I read it. I cried. But that cry somehow cured me of crying while singing the song. Go figure.

Whether you are a Democrat or a Republican, our nation is stronger when we are respected throughout the world.

I love rom-coms, and I was bummed that they sort of stopped making them around the time I was old enough to be in them. But at the same time, I so respected the fact that the genre kind of needed an update. But you know, even when rom-coms were at their hey-day, very few people did it at the level of Nancy Meyers.

California is a great place to live if you're an orange.
Keep on dreaming boy, cause when you stop dreamin' it's time to die.
My mom always does this thing where, the closer I get to home, the more she calls. 'Hey, listen, how's your plane? Did you land? Are you landing? Sweetie. Listen. We want to... ' The anxiety amps up exponentially as I get closer, and then I can't get out fast enough.
You've got to work hard for your success and you've got to have a steady presence. That's the secret.
