In the hip-hop community, it's about how real are you, or how strong can you be, and really my music just reflects me. If you can accept me, then you can accept my music.
You listen to a piece of music and it will remind you of something - it might make you happy, it might make you sad, but it is very emotive. And I think that Duran Duran have always understood that.
You can't give up something you really believe in for financial reasons. If you die by the roadside - so be it. But at least you know you've tried. Ten minutes in the music scene was the equal of one hundred years outside of it.
If you want music that speaks to you, that LISTENS to you, you have to go out of your way, which I enjoy actually. I'm constantly on a private-eye kick to find the totally obscure.
You get to a point where it's like you can't really do anything right, and people will pick on you for whatever decisions you make, so I just try and take no notice and get on with my music.
You don't necessarily pick the singles that you want when you're making a record, but for the most part it's the same process. You're the artist - you make the music that you want to make.
Every time you get a movie, you get a medical. So you know, you know you're alright for a couple of weeks.
You wake up in the morning and you look at your old spoon, and you say to yourself, 'Mick, it's time to get yourself a new spoon.' And you do.
I've always thought of, of a relationship with an actor to an audience as a marriage, you know. And a story, you know. And there are ups and downs, and you work through them, and you work with them.
Yes, I'm going to be the President of the United States. You know why? You think you can get chicks by being in the movies? You can really get chicks by being the President.
You know what, it's a time honored tradition in movies in America that if you kill enough people in your 30s and 40s and 50s that by the time you get into your 60s you become loveable.
Sometimes the independent movies can get a little too arty-farty. You watch the IFC Channel and you want to throw up. You don't always have to take things so serious, you know.
Willard: Hey soldier, do you know who's in command here? Soldier: Ain't you?
Cecilia Tallis: Robbie... Robbie Turner: Cecilia... Cecilia Tallis: I love you... Robbie Turner: I love you.
William Wallace: I love you. Always have. I wanna marry you.
Patricia Franchini: Do you know William Faulkner? Michel Poiccard: No. Who's he? Have you slept with him?
Malcolm: I've banged a lot of waitresses in my day, but you, you, you were the best. Cookie Fleck: You don't forget the best.
Nobody will ever tell you who praised you but everybody would want to be the first to tell you who criticized you.
Do what makes you happy; Be with who makes you smile; Laugh as much as you breathe; & love as long as you live.
Children make you a better everything. Daughters open up a whole different sensibility to you. When you have children, it focuses you on them as opposed to on yourself.
You can do more than pray after you have prayed but you cannot do more than pray until you have prayed.
