I became the toast of London. A lot of people I met came from these really decadent families where the married men were gay and no one thought anything about it.
In 'Friday Night Lights,' the relationship between the coach and his wife, that marriage was something that you couldn't really understand until you actually saw it exist on film.
Willard: [voice-over] The crew were mostly kids; rock & rollers with one foot in their grave.
I like to dress pretty basic during the day, but with a sophisticated bohemian spin, and sometimes a little rock chic. At night I like to go glamorous.
The most influential thing was the two Chris Rock specials that came out when I was in high school. I was obsessed with that stuff.
I'm the renegade of funk. I've made house, techno, rock, funk, reggae... That's why I've been on so many different labels.
I think rock 'n' roll would become exponentially, considerably more difficult to perform past about 65.
I like songs in all different genres and types. My production and songwriting is everything from pop rock to hip-hop and everything in between.
The shot [in the 1956 film ] with Dorothy Malone walking down the stairs makes all rock videos ever after resemble forgotten, anemic nuns.
People want to talk about whether I have rock cred, whether I'm selling out, the theatricality, the gay stuff... Chill out! And just enjoy yourself.
Rock Hudson let his gay agent marry him off to his secretary because he didn't want people to get the right idea.
Plus, I very much like the feeling of height, and buildings have even more of a feeling of height than rock faces.
Hopefully people can look at our band and see that we're a heavy rock band. We're definitely not a metal band, but we're a band that focuses on meaningful lyrics and melody.
I always looked up to Slash from Guns N' Roses, and I always pictured myself being a rock star and playing the guitar, just going crazy.
I've been lucky to get some path-breaking films, which proved to be the turning point in my career. Be it 'Rock on!' 'The Last Lear' or 'Raajneeti,' directors started working in a different way.
What you're looking at there is my arm, going into the rock... and there it is - stuck. It's been without circulation for 24 hours. It's pretty well gone.
I wouldn't call myself a standup in the presence of Jerry Seinfeld or Chris Rock, but I do my share of it and it has been and remains part of my activity and I like it.
To me, 'rock star' conjures up something like a mystic: someone who sees himself as above other people, someone who has the key to the secret that people want to know.
Reiterating the belief that HIV is the cause of AIDS is an easy thing to do. Understanding the science and politics of the situation is much more complicated and requires study with a critical and open mind.
I think that I recall the nostalgic '50s: the start of early television and rock-and-roll, and I think everything seemed to get very generic. Not much has changed.
...yes, in the obscured sky a moon does float, newly, a wishing moon, a sliver of ancient rock, a goddess, a wink.
