When I was a kid, I always looked up to people like B.B. King and Ray Charles.
I determined never to stop until I had come to the end and achieved my purpose.
Who will not suffer labor in this world, let him not be born.
I never wanted to be a scientist per se. I wanted to be a naturalist.
I hoped I could make people smile and laugh and have a good time.
I spend a lot of time writing. I get inspiration from texts rather than images.
I made every single piece myself, each individual component, so it was quite time consuming.
I just like a dirty, crumbling city. The Gotham I imagine is enticing and horrifying at the same time.
You can't be afraid to fail. It's the only way you succeed - you're not gonna succeed all the time, and I know that.
Regret for the things we did can be tempered by time; it is regret for the things we did not do that is inconsolable.
It's like this: The time between having an idea and its public launch is measured in days not months, weeks not years.
Redeem thy misspent time that's past, And live this day as if thy last.
I know it's a cliche, but trust me on this. I once dated a Canadian. Canada = boring.
Reporters used to be blue-collar; at the Globe now, it's practically required that you have a trust fund.
I don't trust the Bee Gee's because there's no way they could always be happy.
Don't expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you'll have a trust fund. Maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse. But you never know when either of them might run out.
Charles Rodman: Oh, he's a smart one, isn't he?
Aretha Robinson, Ray Charles: Scratch a lie, find a thief.
Ray Charles: Rises like mercury on a hot summer day.
The study of Nature is intercourse with the Highest Mind. You should never trifle with Nature.
For me, embracing my own power is about embracing my right to be an individual.
