I feel like I'm just like anyone else. I just happen to play football, and obviously with that comes responsibility, but I love that.
I think in L.A., in terms of the music scene, it's a really strange place. It's really hard to get the feeling that something's happening, or the feeling that something can make it out of there.
We'll see some simplistic players for a while, who'll then get into more complicated things and evolve with their instruments. This is a cycle that happens over and over again in music.
If you look at the market cap increase in Apple since it created the iPod versus what's happened to the music industry, you have to say Apple got the better part of that deal.
Of course, there are many, many musicians whose music gives me pleasure, but until I make contact with them, musically or personally, I never assume that anything wonderful will happen.
Emotions are the fuel to really move you along - that's the only way you can create music. If you don't feel any emotions, it's not going to happen.
The way I work on music is that I go into my studio, and I start playing music, and I see what happens, and... I never think about it.
When I do the music, I make the musicians listen to what's happening in the film. That way they treat the dialogue as if it was a singer.
A lot of people think that the music was responsible for a lot of changes in the Sixties, but I think the music came out of it. The music wouldn't have happened without the social changes.
Sometimes I wake up in the morning and there's nothing doing, so I decide to make something happen by lunch.
As one gets older, it happens that in the morning one fails to remember the airplane trip to be taken in a few hours or the lecture scheduled for the afternoon.
I just think that people are complicated, both men and women. It happens that I write more about women.
I am a lucky man. I have had a dream and it has come true, and that is not a thing that happens often to men.
My first marriage was totally unsuitable and shouldn't have happened. It was a whirlwind, rebound thing. I was 23 or 24 - a baby.
When I plan to settle down, I will announce it to the world. Marriage is an occasion to celebrate. I'll celebrate it when it happens, letting everyone know about it.
'E.T.' was the movie that made me want to make movies in the first place, and it was the first movie that made me focus on writing instead of what happens in the movie.
I'm an actor, but I'm also a feminist, and a lot of times in movies there are things that I cannot imagine happening that are on the screen and totally accepted. And I just go, 'Whaaat?'
I got to do a whole slew of TV movies playing the bad guy, including an episode of Smallville. That would never have happened if I hadn't done the Stand.
Lloyd Richards: The atmosphere is very MacBeth-ish... what has, or is about to, happen?
Bill Sampson: I don't agree, Addison. Addison DeWitt: That happens to be your particular abnormality.
Craig Schwartz: What happens when a man goes through his own portal?
