It's pointless to be critical of your stuff once it's done. I don't spend a lot of time agonising over it. It's of no importance once it's finished.
In college I didn't dress up every day, for class or stuff like that, but when it came time to do certain things I'd dress up for sure.
For a long time I was trying to be poppier and younger. I didn't want to be on public radio or do any of that stuff for older people. Then I realized that that is exactly what I listen to.
Musician: Whaaats the trooouble? Raoul Duke: Weeeellll, all this white stuff on my sleeeeve, iiiis LSD...
Staff Sergeant William James: This box is full of stuff that almost killed me.
Leonard Shelby: Probably burned truck loads of your stuff before. Can't remember to forget you.
Chuck Yeager: Anybody that goes up in the damn thing is gonna be Spam in a can.
Remy: [voice over] If you are what you eat, then I only want to eat the good stuff.
You don't want the biggest record deal as far as money goes, you just want to make sure that the people at the label really support your band and the music and stuff.
I was in a sketch group in L.A., and we were playing, like, backyards in Glendale and stuff. It was pretty ugly because we didn't have any money.
Artists need support, time and money to develop their ideas, and if people rip stuff off, you don't have to be that brilliant to figure out that you're ultimately going to affect the end product.
I'm not that materialistic. I like nice clothes and that, but I don't spend lots of money on stuff. I'm not really into TV, I don't have an iPod, I've got a gramophone.
In the '30s, the Keynesian stuff worked at least in the sense that you could print money without inflation because there was all this productivity growth happening. That's not going to work today.
I get offered to do stuff where the money's nice but it's not something I want to do - I get offered a lot of commercials too.
Novelists do not write as birds sing, by the push of nature. It is part of the job that there should be much routine and some daily stuff on the level of carpentry.
I live in a flat in central London. I do like it there; there's always stuff going on. But I do crave a bit of peace and quiet.
What I respect in people more than anything is work ethic. And Justin Timberlake's got that. He works his tail off, and he knows his stuff.
You've got a beautiful country with so many beautiful people and so many beautiful things happening and stuff like that lets it down. I feel sad for them.
I'm one of those guys that - as far as relationships and stuff go - if you smile at me, I'm like, 'Let's date for three years' - which is just ridiculous.
I always think, when there's stuff that people don't like, I always say that if I have another success, I'll enjoy it more, but you don't really.
I love the stuff that makes you laugh and cry. It kind of sucker-punches you a little bit. That's the thing that most interests me as a performer, in addition to telling the most captivating story.
