No matter where we come from or where we're going, we've all got memories to contend with, and it's always best not to do this alone!
The Rolling Stones were one of the best bands ever, and 'Sticky Fingers' is one of the best rock albums I've ever heard.
Yeah, the industry has always been both the enemy and the best friend of the artist. They need each other. That's the bottom line.
I don't know any guitar player, any of the real greats, who don't rate Joni Mitchell up there with the best of them.
To be sure, boxing has always been, at best, a shady and sometimes cutthroat business, buttressed by hype and tomfoolery rivalling, at times, that of carnival circuses.
A good producer brings out the best in the artist he's working with. You shouldn't be able to listen to something and say, 'So-and-so produced this album.'
All you can do as an artist is just strive to make the best record you can and ride the rollercoaster as it goes up and down.
Some of my friends who know me best say they wouldn't trade places with me for $1 million because of the pace I lead.
Sinatra was pretty astute - he used the best songwriters around, he used all the resources, he covered every song from the era basically.
When I go out, I'm not going out to find a man; I'm going out to dance the night away with my best friends.
The 'Gossip Girl' idea and ideologies, like, they sort of encourage this certain kind of, like, materialism and superficiality that isn't, I would say, the best thing in the world.
When I do interviews, I enter them with an open mind and try to answer the questions the best I can.
I don't think you can ever do your best. Doing your best is a process of trying to do your best.
When I start a movie, the first day, I feel like a duck.
If you take different mythologies from different cultures, the names may change and the story lines may vary but there is always something in common.
I feel like I am one of those artists that, thank god, can sing live.
The main thing experience has taught me is that one has to sort of hone their relationship to time, you know.
There's a hell of a lot of freedom in this rock and roll circus... it's where all the freaks go - it's the environment for me.
European films were what it was about for me - the sensations I needed, the depth, the storytelling, the characters, the directors, and the freedom that you can't really find in American films.
I've returned to being an amateur without any ties or strings attached, which gives me a freedom I never had before.
They say that structure is freedom, and in a sense it is. When you're dealing with multiple constraints, you have to figure out what you can get out of that.
