To me, when you're at a hotel, and your home environment is ultimately dictated by somebody else, I always find that a little bit oppressive and scary in a way. Especially if it's not done well or not run well.
The ordinary man casts a shadow in a way we do not quite understand. The man of genius casts light.
I'm not a Casanova in 'The Newsroom,' by the way - just another hard worker.
A good marriage is one which allows for change and growth in the individuals and in the way they express their love.
I love Tina Turner. I'm one of Tina Turner's biggest fans. Tina Turner was a big influence on me to become a singer. A role model and in a way she gave me back my confidence in choosing my material.
To philosophize is only another way of being afraid and leads hardly anywhere but to cowardly make-believe.
I think, actually, any morality system that rewards only the extremes is a flawed system. Players don't approach life that way, they don't approach games that way, and they shouldn't be trained to approach games that way. They shouldn't be in the 'Star Wars' mode where, 'I've got to choose every good option.'
I want books to give me insight into the way people's brains work and hearts work, and that's what engages me.
I can't see America any other way than with a European's eyes. It fascinates me and terrifies me at the same time.
It's the only way that YOUR life is gonna have any value to you. If you're just living the same life that everybody else is living what's the point?
When things don't go our way, we get to choose how we will respond. We get to choose our perspective. Will you focus on what you didn't get, or what you did get?
And we know Bruce Campbell from way back, so that was a lot of fun.
There was no way in hell I was going to jeopardize my baby for my show.
Obama does not represent America. Nor does he represent anything what our forefathers stood for. This country is basically built on an attitude. It's a way of life. It's not because you're born here. It's not that you're supposed to take from those who have and give to those who haven't. That kills a country. It killed Russia.
If I had my way, I would have sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll at least 4-6 hours a day. So long as there are going to be things in the way of that, we're going to have a revolution.
I get to play with all these different players who don't necessarily approach music always the same way that I might. So I learn a lot.
I truly felt that was going to be my last tour. So here we are again and I'm saying this will probably be my last tour. That's truly the way I'm looking at it.
I spend a fair bit of time in Los Angeles, and there is much I love about the place - the weather, the food, the beaches and the golf. And a few things I don't. Like the way an enormous number of mentally ill people seem to be forced to live on the streets with little or nothing in the way of government assistance.
There's not a single country that actually approaches economics in a pure, free market, capitalist way. I like the free market - but it very much exists only in textbooks. If I had a choice, and we could live in a very pure world, I would be a supporter of the free markets.
The only way to stay sharp is to do live shows. There is no part-time comedy.
I believe if we only are talking to people who agree with us, we are failing in some way to understand our world and our country.
Your desires and true beliefs have a way of playing blind man's bluff. You must corner the inner facts.
We are here today because of grass-roots conservatives all over the place. That's the way the democratic process is supposed to work. It's not supposed to be a bunch of guys in a smoky room in Austin picking the next Senator.
When it comes down to my brand, We the Best, we're about the people and whoever is passionate and in love the way I'm in love when it comes down to the headphones I'm promoting.
If you're mostly a writer - if your point of departure is writing something - which for a writer/director is sort of where you start, you're really influenced by the writers you love one way or another.
Each game we approach like a final. Today it was the opening game at home, we won and showed outstanding football qualities. We will be preparing for the next game the same way.
The way plays happen, at least with me, it's spontaneous combustion of things you've had in your head.
Anything I do in life, the first person I share it with is my elder brother. He always tells me the way to take it forward.
To this day, I like the version of movies that don't have the curse words. I'm very reserved that way.
There has to be the popcorn genre element, or I don't engage the same way. I like action and vehicle design and guns and computer graphics as much as I like allegory. It's a constant balancing game. I want audiences to be on this rollercoaster that fits the Hollywood mould, but I also want them to absorb my observations.
It's insane how much press my Instagram will get. It's weird, in a way, that I can dictate the agenda - but I love being able to have a say in all of that.
For us to maintain our way of living, we must tell lies to each other and especially to ourselves. The lies are necessary because, without them, many deplorable acts would become impossibilities.
The only way to get the best of an argument is to avoid it.
There is only one way left to escape the alienation of present day society: to retreat ahead of it.
A spirit is, like, your mother, my dad, who've made it. They can come around, but they come around in a loving way because they've already made it to God. Most people make it.
You can turn something into art just because of the way you tell people to look at it.
