When I graduated college, I had a fairly successful weekly club gig and was buying more studio equipment and writing my own music. I realized I didn't want to work.
I kind of always wanted my own music to just sound like, like me, I suppose, like if I was music it would be the music I make, I think.
Scotland is one of my favourite places to perform: it's really something special. Scottish audiences are just so enthusiastic; their approach to dance music just feels similar to my own somehow.
While I was into many different types of music, and played with many different local groups, I really didn't have a band to call my own until Dire Straits was formed in 1977.
They've pursued their own agendas, and they've done what they've wanted to do and not pursued traditional careers in the music industry. They've followed their own instincts, and they are in many ways maverick performers.
I've hosted the Soul Train awards, the American Music Awards... and I had my own talk show. So if I can't host by now, what the hell can I do?
Even people who feel perfectly comfortable investing in the stock market and owning their own homes often have qualms about individual medical accounts or Social Security private accounts.
I know that on my own sites, a picture of me with my mom or me with my dog does well, but when I put up a picture of myself shirtless, it does get a little crazy.
I was interested in music and making movies about musicians, but my own experiences, and doing what it felt like for me to be a drummer? Nah, I wasn't interested in that.
I got to star in my own movies. I even had my name above the title in some cases. But what am I known for? My bit part.
One of the reasons to do documentaries is that. There's more sense of creating something, more sense of my own soul in the documentaries than in movies, because I don't write the movies I do.
I have my own difficulty with movies in which the suffering of the characters is too real, and many find it difficult to watch comedies that rely too heavily on embarrassment; the vicarious reaction to this is too unpleasant.
The Beggar: I mind my own business, I bother nobody, and what do I get? Trouble.
I worry that I can come off smarmy. I wonder if I was listening to myself if I'd want to kick my own ass.
My own belief is that people can come back from anything. It doesn't mean that it won't come at a huge cost.
Five billion people have played Hamlet. 'To be or not to be.' And how do you do that and find your way into your own journey, your own way of telling it?
Today's younger generation is no worse than my own. We were just as ignorant and repulsive as they are, but nobody listened to us.
I mix my own lipsticks, so I don't really keep track of the brand as it's usually a number of them I've smushed together.
I always wanted to have my own boutiques. I'm so passionate about clothing and always have been so business-minded.
I have no will of my own. Never did. Limp and lily-livered, I always obey - is it possible that's attractive to women?
Whatever ambivalence I felt about my own career, Frankie more than made up for it with his ambition and tenacity.
