I started with California, and I did not like it. I flew over to Seattle, and I did not like it much. I felt like Iowa is the place - I like the people and the environment.
The man of science, the artist, the philosopher are attached to their nations as much as the day-laborer and the merchant.
There's something very soothing about the simplicity of doing what's right in front of you: paying the rent, buying groceries, and when there's a little extra for a treat like cinnamon rolls, whoopee! When you live paycheck to paycheck, you only have so much to lose.
I talk too much.
My grandfather, who's still alive, has always been involved in art, antiques, and things like that. I think I learned so much from him.
People spend too much time finding other people to blame, too much energy finding excuses for not being what they are capable of being, and not enough energy putting themselves on the line, growing out of the past, and getting on with their lives.
There is something about a phony that creeps me out so much.
Pretty much, you point to a problem and good reasoning about why people are doing what they are doing and what constraints they face in terms of how others will behave, and you're looking at a problem that could be improved upon by game-theoretic reasoning.
We've got a lot of potential on offense. But really potential doesn't mean much if you don't realize it.
I went to school in New York and grew up in and out of New York. I love it, and I miss it, and every time I go back, I think, 'Why am I in Germany?' I do know that my career is really important to me, and in Germany, they've always been so much more supportive than my previous engagements in the dance world.
It's a genuine dilemma for governments, deciding how much information to share in this threat-filled era.
I slept for four years. I didn't study much of anything. I majored in something called communication arts.
I actually hate lyrics, and I hate it when they're quoted in reviews. I don't think they matter that much; it's the sounds of words - not the words - that I look for.
Nobody should underestimate how much the world changed on the 11th of September 2001.
I was very naughty. That's the reason I didn't go very much to the university, because I was partying with my friends more than going to the university.
I actually have more respect for people who are in the closet. You end up exposing so much of yourself because you have to talk about your sexual life. You shouldn't have to talk about it.
Never feel remorse for what you have thought about your wife; she has thought much worse things about you.
There is much modern music that is better adapted to a wind combination than to a string, although for obvious reasons originally scored for an orchestra. If in such cases the interpretation is equal to the composition the balance of a wind combination is more satisfying.

I used to be neurotic. I didn't like myself very much. But somewhere in my mid-40s, my neuroses stopped seeming so important. I developed a sense of humor.
Man knows much more than he understands.
I suppose, to be fair, I don't miss the energy of youth very much - because I was never fit. So it doesn't matter not being able to walk miles, striding the countryside, taking deep breaths and enjoying the scenery. That was never on my agenda.
The more you fly, the more unsettling it is, because you realize how much more likely it will be for you to crash. I am getting better at it, though.
To remind a man of the good turns you have done him is very much like a reproach.
If you're looking for light entertainment, you can't get much lighter than 'Bye Bye Birdie,' a flyweight farce about the coming of rock n' roll to small-town America.
Governing a great nation is like cooking a small fish - too much handling will spoil it.
Bring a wife home to your house when you are of the right age, not far short of 30 years, nor much above; this is the right time for marriage.
Someone who knows too much finds it hard not to lie.
For me, at least, much of the German I see and hear sounds stranger than Swedish, a language of which I unfortunately understand very little.
If my impressions are correct, our educational planing mill cuts down all the knots of genius, and reduces the best of the men who go through it to much the same standard.
I'll take as much work as I can get. You can always need more work.
Fashion is in a terrible state. An overdose of too much flesh.
Some years ago I gave a concert in the mountains with snow all around, and that was much colder.
I once threw a water balloon on a girl because I caught her cheating on me. She was kissing my friend and I thought, 'Oh, this can't be happening.' It was bad and I was much older than you think throwing a water balloon. I was 14.
