My parents were hippies.

I didn't do the typical things that young kids do.

My parents were hippies.

I think some people are on a mission to die, and I never was.

I had a very modest upbringing.

Nobody believes it, but I slept on a futon till I was 13.

When you go in and do a cool, small character, it feels less like work and more like fun.

The big things I've had are things I bought myself.

Even the great bad guys in cinema history, they're likable.

It's been such a group effort. When you're a new band and you have limited resources, you end up getting people that are there because they love what you do, and that's great.

Life started getting good when I started making money.

I wasn't ever good enough to be on the baseball team and that sort of stuff.

But I've consistently worked for 10 years.

I wanted to be a professional baseball player.

My theory is, independent movies only work if you're willing to push the material and do something different.

Like, they know that I have a habit of rubbing my earlobes, I've been doing it since I was two.

My mom just understands about stuff. We have a really good trust, and she knows I can take care of myself.

Even in my darkest times I knew I had a good future ahead of me.

I like to challenge myself and give myself a timeline. It pushes me to be more creative and actually do these things, not just dream about them.

I was a beatnik in the '50s before the hippies came along.

When the civil rights battle was won, all the Jews and hippies and artists were middle class white people and all the blacks were still poor. Materially, not much changed.

Hippies are so phoney and fake.

My parents were hippies.

Everyone look around and see if you can spot the NARCS. They're the ones who look like hippies.

I was born in Manhattan on West 12th. My parents were kind of hippies and they did a home birth.

My family, my parents are hippies.

Hippies? Why, I'm the original.

Not hippie - my parents were not hippies - but they were very supportive and encouraging, and that does a lot for someone, and it gives them a lot of confidence.

I hate the word 'hippy'. I hate a lot of people, and hippies don't do that!

I have busted more hippies' noses than all the narcs in the free world.

Elvis was the only man from Northeast Mississippi who could shake his hips and still be loved by rednecks, cops, and hippies.

It's funny how the hippies and the punks tried to get rid of the conservatives, but they always seem to get the upper hand in the end.

No, I come for a hippy lifestyle, it's very open; my parents are both hippies.

Old hippies don't die, they just lie low until the laughter stops and their time comes round again.

The hippies wanted peace and love. We wanted Ferraris, blondes and switchblades.

All hippies around now just represent complete apathy.

I've always despised the hippies.

My parents were hippies. I'm the eldest of eight children.

Yes, I am Algerian of Moroccan origin through my parents, but all my life is Algeria. I was born there.

My parents were amazing people who had no business being together - and they knew it.

We're parents first, and once you have kids, everybody knows that you have priority lists. Number one is your family and everything else just kind of finds its place.

The education of my brother and myself was of paramount importance to my parents, and in addition to their strong encouragement, they were prepared to make any sacrifice to further our intellectual development.

I belong to a specific category of writers, those who speak and write in a language different from that of their parents.

My sister and I were born in San Francisco. When our parents died, we came down here to live with relatives.

The young always have the same problem - how to rebel and conform at the same time. They have now solved this by defying their parents and copying one another.

It's up to each person's parents whether they think it's too frightening or too violent, how much their kids can handle, what they want to teach them, what they want to show them.

I'd hope to reach any kid who feels apart from the group - those who seem to be outsiders, who feel different. Kids who want to reach their parents often don't know how to do so.

That other saying, I'm a part of all that I have met, I think that would have to begin with my wonderful parents back in Atlanta when I was a youngster five years old I was tongue tied.

I have parents come up to me and say, 'I don't know who you are, but my kid wants his picture taken with you.'
