I compose with bells a lot. Bells and breath. Both things you react to without thinking about it. Bells traditionally give us orders: come to the desk, the truck is backing up, the ice cream is here, it's time to go to church. They're sounds our brai...
Find fault when you must find fault in private, and if possible sometime after the offense, rather than at the time.
Bishop Berkeley destroyed this world in one volume octavo; and nothing remained, after his time, but mind; which experienced a similar fate from the hand of Mr. Hume in 1737.
Every time I've failed, people had me out for the count, but I always come back.
I'm more focused and have a greater sense of challenge, because I constantly feel the weight of time.
Early on everyone should do, every time they do a big film, they should do a little film. It really does keep you grounded.
I believe an artist dies twice. The first time, it's just terrible - I've been there when the phone isn't ringing for years.
Characters I've played, they used to impact my paintings, like 80 percent of the time, and especially when I was doing an action film.
From the time I got dressed in the back of a deflated, flat-tired, fish-smelling station wagon for Rocky. It's always been do it yourself, kind of like paper-clip it together.
I am not thinking too far ahead, just want to take it one thing at a time.
I feel when somebody has been playing cricket for a long time, he creates a separate identity for himself.
One of the few times I saw my mother cry was when Lennon died, and the other time was when Elvis died.
I struggle if I have chaos around me, but at the same time, if I don't have it, I'm uncomfortable. It's a strange thing: If I don't have chaos, I create it.
A lot of children remember seeing cartoons, 'Pinocchio' or 'Bambi' or something that breaks their heart. I remember seeing 'The Blue Angel' and it breaking my heart. It was the first time I realised there was an adult world - that adults could damage...
The first time I remember really being excited about a book was 'The Count of Monte Cristo.'
In re-reading 'Presumed Innocent,' the one thing that struck me - and I re-read the book four different times in writing 'Innocent,' interested in different things each time - but I did think there were a couple of extra loops in the plot that I prob...
Because I spend so much time traveling, I tend to do most of my reading on the same iPad on which I write. For me, it's words, not paper, that matter most in the end. This practice has had the additional benefit of greatly reducing the time I spend s...
I write based on powerful inner impulses, and those seem to shift over time.
It's time for a brother to be Bond.
I'm really looking forward to a time when generations after us look back and say how ridiculous it was that humans were driving cars.
As a child, I spent a lot of time with things like Lego, building trains, cars, complex structures, and I really liked that.
