My mother was very strong. Once, she picked up a coconut and smashed it against my father's head. It taught me about women defending themselves and not collapsing in a heap.
I know a lot of women who embody what it means to be a feminist but do not want to use that word. The misperceptions about what it's all about have gotten into their heads.
Soldiers and peasants lived together on friendly terms; they knew each other and their everyday routines, and trusted each other; they shook their heads together over the war.
I think the people at my record label know I'm a Christian and again, I've been really blessed that I've never had to get into a head-butt war over moral standards or anything like that.
I made 'Saving Private Ryan' for my father. He's the one who filled my head with war stories when I was growing up.
I got my head bashed in at a demonstration against the Vietnam War. Police were losing control because they were up against a world they really didn't understand.
It seems to me that, in every culture, I come across a chapter headed 'Wisdom.' And then I know exactly what is going to follow: 'Vanity of vanities, all is vanity.'
If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.
Today is tomorrow of yesterday.. a better day.. to start with.
I would definitely like to start working with more people over age 7.
I had a bit of a male menopause. It started at the age of 18 and continued until I was 45.
I started balding at age 17 and after first being sad, I really embraced it.
Around age 11 or 12, I started playing jazz bass. From there, I went to electric bass and then guitar, which I kept up for a long time.
The earliest golfing memories that I have are of the Italian Open when I was about six years of age. Watching that event is how I really got started in the game.
I started working at the age of 2, doing commercials and modeling in New York.
Just going to Africa is amazing; it all comes back to the motherland. It's pretty much where everything started.
John Parsons, the gay art director at 'Vogue,' really started my career.
A brief visit to Nepal started my insatiable love for Asian art.
Start writing by thinking, not wrestling with words.
Trust starts with truth and ends with truth.
If I start to become a star, I'll lose contact with the normal guys I play best.
