What I really like about 'Red Band Society' is how real it is, and the experiences that they are going through are experiences that everyone is bound to go through at one point or another in their lives.
That's one of the most important things to me is that Detroit and Ann Arbor got my back. If you don't have hometown love, then what's the point?
Everyone reaches their point in time where either they die or they get sick of doing drugs. It started getting debilitating. I enjoy my music a lot better than my drugs.
I had teachers in high school to point me in the direction of the University of Indiana School of Music, and after IU, I went on to study at the Academy of Arts in Philadelphia. I graduated in 2006.
Music to me is about being honest, and it's what I've always pictured music as. I don't see the point of expressing yourself if you are going to be cryptic about it.
I never feel like I have to hang on to the music. I don't expect that the music will go away. Ideas are the only thing I can point to that are permanent and fixed.
There's so many people that follow the trend, and then it gets to a point where it gets a little stale. So, in music; I mean, whoever's the new trendsetter, that's who people follow.

Some movies I see today have the most dramatic plot points but the actors are not playing them dramatically.

Tony Stark: [to Thor] No hard feelings, Point Break. You've got a mean swing.
There are many crooked lines and one straight line. Which is the line of truth? Why the straight line? Truth is always the shortest distance between two points.
I'm going to keep making films I believe in. Whether I am successful or not is besides the point.
My father, Simon Hoggart, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in June 2010. By this point, it had spread to his spleen and metastasised in his lungs and so was pronounced terminal.
I think one of the greatest things about the Republican Party is the understanding, we don't point fingers and we have class.
Increase your self-awareness up to the point where you shouldn't depend on the opinions of others about who you truly are...
It is not true that Pena is 20 points above me. It's part of the management of the regime. They have control of the media, with few exceptions.
Know thy own point: this kind, this due degree Of blindness, weakness, Heav'n bestows on thee.
I'm getting more towards that point where I'm ready to kind of pass the torch on and see the next generation succeed behind me.
That's the whole point of... of prosecutorial discretion in the judicial system. It's finding a just outcome in an individual case.
