We're a nation in search of an identity, but it's quite exciting. I don't regard it as a problem. It's a challenge.
I'm fifty-one years old, but I'm not through yet. I have lived a full life, and intend packing in quite a lot more.
The world wide web has really been quite spectacular and not something I would have predicted.
I quite like being mobbed. After all, it is extremely nice to be recognised. That's what acting is all about - being recognised.
In my case, self-absorption is completely justified. I have never discovered any other subject quite so worthy of my attention.
I was quite fearless as a kid. But I've had to realize I'm not invincible. That's what breaking your back does. It makes you grow up and reassess life.
I still can't quite believe it. Although there was something about the fact that it was a first-time writer, a first-time producer, and a first-time director all at the same time.
Even though I've been reasonably well known for quite a long time, I still can't get a record on daytime radio or on MTV.
The main thing for me is I really like strong endings. If there's a strong ending, you can take more time in the beginning, your first act can be really quite different.
I say quite deliberately that the Christian religion, as organized in its Churches, has been and still is the principal enemy of moral progress in the world.
I thought perhaps it should be recognized that religious people, including fundamentalists, are quite intelligent, many of them are highly educated, and they should be treated with complete respect.
I was quite fat as a kid. And swimming is a sport you can enjoy whatever size you are. If you're fat, running is a pain. I'm not really built for running.
I feel quite excited about the possibility of working on multiple albums. There's something really iconic about having a catalog featuring a lot of albums, and I'd love to have that legacy.
I use music as therapy. Whenever I'm feeling angry or needing some 'me' time, which is quite regularly, I'll go and bang a piano or flesh out something on a guitar.
Louis Armstrong is quite simply the most important person in American music. He is to 20th century music (I did not say jazz) what Einstein is to physics.
The potential success that could come with signing with a major label didn't quite outweigh how important it was for me to make my music the way I knew it needed to be made.
I must quit marrying men who feel inferior to me. Somewhere there must be a man who could be my husband and not feel inferior.
I think the big thing about Groupon is just people had never seen anything grow quite so fast.
I quit being afraid when my first venture failed and the sky didn't fall down.
I think that my ideas of the world are that it's random and cruel but kind of quite comical really, and therefore the humour, in a sense, springs from that.
I've always felt quite singular, even as a child. That I must stay on track to keep my purpose.
