I like Italian movies. I was frequently there in the '60s, in Rome and the vicinity. It was a great period in life. I was very influenced by their stuff.
That's when the great stuff happens, when you're not checking yourself all the time, being critical of yourself and what other people are doing.
Every day, you have to make three hours of music, just randomly improvising, and that's a great way to weed stuff out.
But the great thing, and the horrible thing about the web is you can just throw stuff up there and it doesn't cost anybody anything.
Tony Kaye is great with that kind of stuff. Up until American History X, he had only done commercials.
There was so much great music around in the '60s, stuff like The Small Faces, but I also love The Jam.
The fun stuff comes when someone is not so strict on sticking to the script. You're allowed the spontaneity, and great moments can happen.
And in down times it shakes a lot of the bad SF out, a lot the stuff that was bought for literary reasons, which is neither entertaining nor great literature.
I think the stuff that plays on the radio, the majority of it is for teenagers, which is okay. That's what pop radio is about. And some of it is great, and some of it is not.
When moms and dads put their kids in acting class, good luck. Because you're just filling them with stuff they don't need yet.
I am an optimist. I think, as bad as life sometimes gets, there is so much joy and so much good stuff, that there is a balance.
I'm not an Internet person that reads behind-the-scenes stuff. I see a trailer, and if it looks good, then I go. That's that.
Most modern stuff I hear kinda sucks, someone should turn me onto something good, fast!
I have an affinity for good roles in good films. I like a variety of parts, and if some of the good stuff happens to be in fantasy and horror, I do them.
You've got to use your celebrity for good stuff, not evil. I think it's lame when people act as if they're better than everyone!
Anything you read can influence your work, so I try to read good stuff.
Comics are too big. You can't say any kind or genre of comics is better than another. You can say so subjectively. But to say it like it's objective is wrong. It's wrong morally, because it cuts out stuff that's good.
I like normal stuff people fear - like spiders and heights. I'm frightened by the unknown, by things that are hard to figure out and get a grip on.
Indeed, bull markets are fueled by successive waves of prior skeptics finally capitulating as their fears fade. Eventually, fear turns to euphoria, and that's the stuff of bubbles.
Fear is one of those really primal emotions which you don't want to have incredibly exciting modulations and complex harmonies and all that kind of stuff.
Ninety-eight per cent of laughter is nothing to do with jokes, which do not deserve to bear the weight of all the funny stuff in the world.
