[Jellyfish] are 97% water or something, so how much are they doing? Just give them another 3% and make them water. It's more useful.
I abhor a hoe. I am fond of flowers but not of dirt, and had rather buy them than cultivate them.
Journeys, like artists, are born and not made. A thousand differing circumstances contribute to them, few of them willed or determined by the will-whatever we may think.
Chess is a lot of fun for me. Football is a physical game, and in chess you can just beat someone mentally - you outwit somebody, outmaneuver them, think ahead of them.
Hold dear and true friends close to your heart, it matters not where you find them, only that you treat them with love and respect always.
My secret vice is Sudoku puzzles. Can't stop playing them. My parents are accountants. I blame them entirely.

I'm not interested in cutting the feet off my characters or stretching them to make them fit my certain political view.
The Hollywood model is to develop scripts for 10 years, sell them, transfer them, attach this actor, then attach a director. This isn't what I'm about. I'm much more of a creator and a doer.
Peace and satisfaction are the two most expensive things in life. You can never buy them, you can only generate them for yourself, and those around you.
If you don't know what to do with many of the papers piled on your desk, stick a dozen colleagues initials on them and pass them along. When in doubt, route.
Once I'd chosen the songs, it seemed like it would just be a question then of recording them. But it's a case of trying to re-invent the songs; taking them in different directions.
It was a kind of sado-masochism. I would take the things that were painful to me and elevate them and, through the mantra of music, make them into a release.
People are ready to take the good things into their minds! Give them good and right ideas; they will immediately take them as if they are taking beautiful flowers!
