I feel like my 50 years at Harvard were an interlude. I'm really a New Yorker.
I was always into punk, ever since I was 13, but I was into other stuff, too - like, well, the Spice Girls. I really liked Scary Spice.
I don't like to practice; I like spontaneity. When I don't play guitar for a week and I pick it up again, I play better.
You have to transmit to them what it's like being in the theater. And it has to come from somewhere inside you and not by being like what somebody did last year.
I don't care. I feel like if we don't make a trade, we have to get it done with what we've got.
I was like a mutant when I was a boy. I learned to read when I was four years old; it was like a miracle.
I hate bands that hang around, like, 10 years too long - they're like the drunk at a party you can't get rid of.
True friends are like diamonds, Precious and rare, Fake friends are like autumn leaves, Found everywhere.
I grew up in a forest. It's like a room. It's protected. Like a cathedral... it is a place between heaven and earth.
Statements of ordinary people are ignored like poor freebies, statements of great people are accepted like profound philosophy.
I like to see a man proud of the place in which he lives. I like to see a man live so that his place will be proud of him.
The Stones were more dangerous than other bands of the Sixties. It looked like they had more fun than the Beatles - like they stayed up later.
Writing like this is a little like milking a cow: the milk is so rich and delicious, and the cow is so glad you did it.
I feel like I've had so many successes on so many levels, even if it is just my relationships with my friends.
I feel like i am parked diagonally in a parallel universe
I know, I'm like a kid. Maybe I was a bit too spoilt growing up. Everything just came like I wanted it to.
I am mildly addicted to Mucinex-D. I feel like I should just come clean about that.
To write well, express yourself like the common people, but think like a wise man.
Deadlines refine the mind. They remove variables like exotic materials and processes that take too long. The closer the deadline, the more likely you'll start thinking waaay outside the box.
People may like a person’s thought for its touching words, but they like him truly for his own deeds touching their heart.
I am in total silence when I write - I don't even like the sound of the dryer going - I like the quiet.
