Money has too big an influence on our politics in Washington and somehow we need to do something about that.
I'm a big toy collector. I've been slowing down because my money's been tight, but I collect toys, too.
I'm so touched that complete strangers will send me a script asking me to be in their film. That still amazes me - and sometimes for a lot of money too.
The unique danger today is the possibility that we may face longer-term stagnation as a consequence of relying too heavily on borrowed money.
Storms and darkness scared me, but somehow it encouraged me to learn about nature and I think nothing's dark, dark is beautiful too.
It is unfair to blame man too fiercely for being pugnacious; he learned the habit from Nature.
The noble simplicity in the works of nature only too often originates in the noble shortsightedness of him who observes it.
I have no idea where my pathetic nature comes from. If I thought about it too long, it would depress me.
I come here to speak poetry. It will always be in the grass. It will also be necessary to bend down to hear it. It will always be too simple to be discussed in assemblies.
Poetry should help, not only to refine the language of the time, but to prevent it from changing too rapidly.
I'm not a religious person, and I'm not too interested in being a part of a religion, but I do like having some sort of communal gathering, and having some sense of peoples.
Too many younger artists, critics, and curators are fetishizing the sixties, transforming the period into a deformed cult, a fantasy religion, a hip brand, and a crippling disease.
I just hate one-dimensional portrayals of religion; it's too cheap and easy to do, and ignores the nuances that go into having a belief system.
Too many women throw themselves into romance because they're afraid of being single, then start making compromises and losing their identity. I won't do that.
Far too many girls' and women's romantic relationships are formed around a negation of their own worth and attributes rather than a confirmation of them.
Success turns a lot of people off. I have a pretty solid sense of joy and respect that irritates people, and can irritate me, too.
It's too easy to say that orange is happy and black is sad. To me, black is perfect. You can fill it with the emotion you want to express.
Extreme sports tricks are becoming increasingly complex, the courses ever more challenging and crashes all too common.
A Grammy is really nice, but having lots of fans is really nice, too. I think just getting a record out is a success on its own.
I'm so sick of hearing that U.K. hip hop doesn't get credit and success when I'm working to get it - for me and for others, too.
Because I knew I had got success at Ranji level, I was confident I would get some success in international cricket too.
