My parents have been married for 42 years. Their marriage has been - from what I can see - a happy one.
I think there is some credibility to the notion that marriage is an institution. It meant something very different hundreds of years ago when it became the norm for people to go off and pair.
If the movies that I'm going to make anyway go mainstream, that would be the coolest thing ever. But I have set up a plan that I've been working on for a long time.
I began to feel that the drama of the truth that is in the moment and in the past is richer and more interesting than the drama of Hollywood movies. So I began looking at documentary films.
I really detest movies like 'Indecent Proposal' and 'Pretty Woman' because they send a message to women that sleeping with a rich man is the ultimate goal and really that's such a small part of it.
The problem with romantic comedies is you know the ending by the poster. So they're not movies you can keep doing over and over again expect satisfaction somehow.
I was a total athlete. I loved sports, but when I realized I wasn't going to be a professional athlete, I realized I wanted to be in movies.
I still fall back a lot on my Les Paul, and there is just no getting away from a Les Paul and a hot pickup.
All the folks I play with come from jazz backgrounds or at least appreciate spontaneity within the parameters of a pop song.
The idea of writing songs because you're depressed and you need to communicate it somehow, that isn't really true for me.
The first notes I still play when I start a sound check are classical. Those are my roots.
In too much of the West, everyone wants the guarantee of safety, and never having to make any decisions.
Everybody in the real world will agree - the moment a project is behind deadline, quality assurance tends to go out the window.
I am never writing a breakup record again, by the way. I'm done with being a bitter witch.
I don't want to be a celebrity. I don't want to be in people's faces, you know, constantly on covers of magazine that I haven't even known I'm on.
I'll have to get people to write songs for me right now until my own writing comes around.
In 1973 we moved to the British Isle of Man, and I put my first band together for one year, named Melody Fair.
I don't do anything on stage that allows me to become a trained seal, where you're just doing the same thing over and over.
England and France were rivals, not only on the continent, but in the West Indies, in India, and in Europe.
Guys pit female rappers against each other because female rappers - if you haven't noticed of late - are a lot more interesting than guys.
I want to be an artist you cannot categorize at all. You can't put a box around me. You can't put anything around me.
