I never had many problems to do my music and to give it to a record company. Rarely do they try to argue with me about my music, probably because it's still too far-out.
Music is my only guide. I don't care if people pigeonhole me. Miles Davis is my hero. He covered Cindy Lauper and Michael Jackson, and he didn't give a hoot about what the purists said.
I don't think I could ever give up music. It's what makes me tick. If there was no music, there would be no writing.
I don't see why I should give my new music to iTunes or anyone else. They won't pay me an advance for it and then they get angry when they can't get it.
Churchill was one of the few men I have met who even in the flesh give me the impression of genius. George Bernard Shaw is another. It is amusing to know that each thinks the other is overrated.
I'm frugal. I've always been this way. When I was young, my mom would give me my allowance, and I'd peel off a little each week and have some to spare.
As I grew up and began identifying myself as a feminist, there were plenty of issues that continued to make me question marriage: the father 'giving' the bride away, women taking their husband's last name, the white dress, the vows promising to 'obey...
I ultimately wanna do big movies, and I've been so close so many times. They keep giving my roles to girls with just a little more exposure than me.
Honestly, after about three years on a show, you're like, 'Thank you very much for giving me a step up. Now can I go do movies?'
Movies give me an opportunity to go places. I'm not only a Swede but an American, not just a man of my time, but I've been living 2,000 years ago-and not just in a new country, America, but in the Holy Land, too.
Kilgore: Lieutenant, bomb that tree line about 100 yards back! Give me some room to breathe!
I think I was born because my parents had two boys and wanted to give it one more go and try for a girl... they got me instead.
Give me a land of boughs in leaf A land of trees that stand; Where trees are fallen there is grief; I love no leafless land.
For years, I didn't give interviews because I was scared of people judging me or thinking I was arrogant.
Give me a place to stand, a lever long enough and a fulcrum. and I can move the Earth
Getting all emotionally wrapped up in made-up people's lives gives me a chance to take a break from my own life [...].
I am not going to give in to people who try to exploit me because of my celebrity status.
My close proximity to many of the newsmakers can give me a different perspective about people in politics and what they might say than others who don't know them.
I believed in Bobby Kennedy. Campaigning for him was an attempt to give back something to this country that has given me so much.
Practicing medicine is not only my vocation, it gives me an opportunity to continue to be in direct contact with people, to see them and hear their needs.
The camera is an excuse to be someplace you otherwise don’t belong. It gives me both a point of connection and a point of separation.
