What I used to do between writing fits was feed my kids, ride my horse and go shopping for cat and dog food.
I find that there are a lot of similarities between French and Japanese food. I think they're two countries that have really systemized their cuisine and codified it.
It's almost seems as though there's a battle going on between the public and all the fast-food establishments, and, believe me, I think it's very tasty food.
If it's total freedom, I guess the ultimate thing you can go into is total silence between the audience and performer, with the performer projecting something he doesn't even have to play.
Our culture is just a series of checks and balances. The whole idea that we're in a battle between tyranny and freedom - it's a series of pendulum swings.
What strikes me is that there's a very fine line between success and failure. Just one ingredient can make the difference.
The line between failure and success is so fine that we scarcely know when we pass it: so fine that we are often on the line and do not know it.

The family ties between hundreds of thousands of German families and their American relatives led many to think that America would never join a second war against Germany.
People ask what I really did in the three years between 'The Dreaming' and 'Hounds of Love.' I spent it with my family, living a normal home life.
Do more than is required. What is the distance between someone who achieves their goals consistently and those who spend their lives and careers merely following? The extra mile.
It doesn't matter whether you are pursuing success in business, sports, the arts, or life in general: The bridge between wishing and accomplishing is discipline.
I just like to talk to people. I don't know how to bridge the gap between getting to know someone and then schmoozing and sort of working contacts and business connections.
I think the hardest thing about being an actor is between jobs when you don't know and wondering if you'll ever work again. It's kind of a crazy business.
You have to have the courage to face the unexpected. This is the difference between people who do things and people who don't dare, who don't dare to live.
My personal style falls between casual cool and meticulous slob. I'm most comfortable in jeans, but I love fashion.
