I think it's one of my favourite theatres ever, so quirky and wonderful and steeped in history. The space is wonderful and the acoustics are brilliant.
I know there's some kind of history to mountain music-like it came from Ireland or England or Scotland and we kept up the tradition.
I am not trying to be a historian and a dramatist; I'm a dramatist, a dramatic historian, or one who does a dramatic interpretation of history.
I will come out with my interpretation. If I'm wrong, fine. It will become part of the debris of history, part of the give and take.
Through the history of rock n' roll, you see lots of bands making the mistake of putting on the tights when they get to arenas. Don't do that.
Having a track record to live up to and the history of successes had become a hindrance. It becomes harder to break out of what people expect you to do.
In Italy, the country where fascism was born, we have a particular relation with the Holocaust, but as a turning point in history it belongs to everybody in the world. It is a part of humanity.
What we hold in our heads - our memory, our feelings, our thoughts, our sense of our own history - is the sum of our humanity.
It made me think about a whole area of human activity that was not really a concern to me before that, because I was involved in reading Chinese history, or languages, or whatever.
It's more interesting because you get to research the history of the period, and all the different aesthetic elements that make a film, particularly this film, so stunning.
I live off a motto that says, 'yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery'. I have goals and agendas. Where ever I'll be tomorrow, that's where I'll be.
I spent a lot of my life holding back my cries, and I want to change that because it's not good for me.
I love this pedal to death. The only way you could keep me from playing one is by chopping off my legs!
I don't know if I believe in life after death so much as I believe that there is something out there.
I don't need a diet pill. I need something that gives you an electric shock when you reach for food.
I don't find it a struggle to maintain a healthy diet now as my palate has changed. I don't crave rich food.
The BP spill was the greatest environmental catastrophe in U.S. history. Yet somehow, gas companies like BP and Halliburton ran interference on reporting that story.
Country Music is great music because it really comes from real life experiences. It is such a great haven for reality.
I always thought that Bill Murray was one of the great actors that I've worked with. And I've worked with all kinds of people who are known primarily for their dramatic work.
The great difference between screen acting and theatre acting is that screen acting is about reacting - 75% of the time, great screen actors are great reactors.
I feel like I share a great relationship with my audience where they trust my judgment and choice of films and sense of comedy.
