I am the sum total of everything that I have experienced musically.

Here's the deal: I believe - and I attempt to live my life this way - we all have more time than we think we do. We all waste so much time.

For the life of me, I'll never understand how you can be an artist but not want people to understand who you are as a person.

Well, there are different levels of love.

When I was young, anywhere I would go in Germany, I would see my father's posters. Everyone knew about him. And he had many friends who were artists who were also quite famous. So, for me, it seemed very natural to be an artist and be known.

I was an English major at UCLA when I was 18, and then I left after a year to start acting. I was educating myself during that time.

Sports are in my soul. That's what drives me.

My first job at General Motors was as a quality inspector on the assembly line. I was checking fits between hoods and fenders. I had a little scale and clipboard. At one point, I was probably examining 60 jobs an hour during an eight-hour shift. A job like that teaches you to value all the people who do a job like that.

You know, I had the music baskets and the writing basket. And I had the acting. And those eggs just hatched first, and the others were slow to incubate.

I've always been a sci-fi/fantasy guy. My book reports in school, whenever you didn't have to do it on Shakespeare, I did it on, like, Piers Anthony and Raymond Feist.

We heard about people who went backstage at dog shows with scissors and cut parts of a poodle's hair off to sabotage the dog.

The means of defense against foreign danger historically have become the instruments of tyranny at home.

Most children - I know I did when I was a kid - fantasize another set of parents. Or fantasize no parents. They don't tell their real parents about that - you don't want to tell Mom and Dad.

Business underlies everything in our national life, including our spiritual life. Witness the fact that in the Lord's Prayer, the first petition is for daily bread. No one can worship God or love his neighbor on an empty stomach.

I had to live in the desert before I could understand the full value of grass in a green ditch.

Coming off 'House of Cards,' playing someone so straight-laced, I was getting offered a lot of F.B.I. agents.

The state must be the first to be organized and totally committed to serving the interests of the people.

One woman is a tiny divine spark in a timeless sisterhood tapestry collective; All of us are wild women.

In a place like Afghanistan where the society is completely segregated, women have access to women. Men cannot always photograph women and cannot get the access that I get.

Our destiny changes with our thought; we shall become what we wish to become, do what we wish to do, when our habitual thought corresponds with our desire.

To eat in the same room where food is cooked - that is the way to thank the Lord for His abundance.

I never understood bands saying Nirvana had anything to do with derailing their career. Maybe those bands didn't have the goods.

Companionship is a foreign concept to some people. They fear it as much as the majority of people fear loneliness.

I can't drive, so I can only live in New York, which is fine with me.
