When you are asked if you can do a job, tell 'em, 'Certainly I can!' Then get busy and find out how to do it.
I don't pretend that I can read minds. I don't believe anybody can read minds. In other words, I don't believe in psychics.
I live out here in Malibu, where I can see the stars. So I want to get a really nice telescope so I can look at the stars a little bit more.
Sometimes I will click on a random sequence of notes- not to actually use it in a song, but to see if I can find maybe a simple pattern that I can build off of.
History is orphan. It can speak, but cannot hear. It can give, but cannot take. Its wounds and tragedies can be read and known, but cannot be avoided or cured.
What people can survive and what they don't survive is shocking to me. Someone can go to Iraq and be blown to bits and survive. Someone can trip and fall on the street and they die - that's that.
So much of my career has been about saying things the way people say them, using melodies not that I can sing but that the people can sing.
You have to say now that space is something. Space can vibrate, space can fluctuate, space can be quantum mechanical, but what the devil is it?
Kids always need a role model. I let them know you can do it, too, if you really want to.
America is built around this premise that you can do it, and there are an awful lot of people who are unlikely to have done it who did.
Are you afraid to die? 'Cause it scares the hell outta me, And the end is all I can see, And it scares the hell outta me, That the end is all I can see.
The chaos can act as a magnifier of quantum fluctuations so that they can produce sizable effects in the world around us. But we know that that can happen often.
I can tell from about 20 yards away when someone has a manuscript for me. I can just tell - they have that look.
Sometimes we misunderstand what films can do. We just throw a whole book in there, with people just talking, talking, and talking. The picture can tell, the frame can tell.
I don't want to live in a nanny state where people are telling me where I can go and what I can do.
One of the greatest things about my job is that I can enjoy all the successes of a show, but can still go out in public, not like say, Michael Jordan.
At the end of the day, I can end up just totally wacky, because I've made mountains out of molehills. With meditation, I can keep them as molehills.
I can be a bit impatient sometimes. If I'm really focusing on something, I can expect everybody to move at the same pace, and that's probably not massively endearing.
I realized that becoming a doctor, I can only help a small community. But by becoming a politician, I can help my whole country.
The truth is if you can eat just a serving size, you can eat anything. But we all know how those harmless treats can call out your name all night long, and rationalizing in the middle of the night is very easy.
