When people accept breaking the law as normal, something happens to the whole society.
I was brought up with a very strong sense of what can happen if your society starts to chip away at the small victories women have won for themselves.
My father also happened to be an intellectual, as learned, literate, informed, and curious as anyone I have known. Unobtrusively and casually, he was my wise and gentle teacher.
I love pop music because you can really see what's currently happening in society.
I love being on the sea and the rolling of the ship, and for me, it's not really happening until we get a little wave action going, I love that feeling.
I feel like I'm just like anyone else. I just happen to play football, and obviously with that comes responsibility, but I love that.
I think in L.A., in terms of the music scene, it's a really strange place. It's really hard to get the feeling that something's happening, or the feeling that something can make it out of there.
If you look at the market cap increase in Apple since it created the iPod versus what's happened to the music industry, you have to say Apple got the better part of that deal.
Of course, there are many, many musicians whose music gives me pleasure, but until I make contact with them, musically or personally, I never assume that anything wonderful will happen.
Emotions are the fuel to really move you along - that's the only way you can create music. If you don't feel any emotions, it's not going to happen.
The way I work on music is that I go into my studio, and I start playing music, and I see what happens, and... I never think about it.
When I do the music, I make the musicians listen to what's happening in the film. That way they treat the dialogue as if it was a singer.
A lot of people think that the music was responsible for a lot of changes in the Sixties, but I think the music came out of it. The music wouldn't have happened without the social changes.
Sometimes I wake up in the morning and there's nothing doing, so I decide to make something happen by lunch.
As one gets older, it happens that in the morning one fails to remember the airplane trip to be taken in a few hours or the lecture scheduled for the afternoon.
I just think that people are complicated, both men and women. It happens that I write more about women.
When I plan to settle down, I will announce it to the world. Marriage is an occasion to celebrate. I'll celebrate it when it happens, letting everyone know about it.
'E.T.' was the movie that made me want to make movies in the first place, and it was the first movie that made me focus on writing instead of what happens in the movie.
I got to do a whole slew of TV movies playing the bad guy, including an episode of Smallville. That would never have happened if I hadn't done the Stand.
Lloyd Richards: The atmosphere is very MacBeth-ish... what has, or is about to, happen?
Bill Sampson: I don't agree, Addison. Addison DeWitt: That happens to be your particular abnormality.
