When a piece is done, I mix it before going on to any other piece.

I felt Brighton was a perfect ending to a really interesting career.

When a piece is done, I mix it before going on to any other piece.

I'm somebody who plays the piano... sometimes.

I had to get out of America to get a professional life going where I could actually make a living.

Sometimes I write them down in musical notation as a trigger to remind me about certain directions to go. Or I can be specific about a sound I'm looking for.

I'm not really a pianist.

But that's fine, because I like to have control of the ambience.

I love things on the decline because that's really the natural progression of our lives. We're born, we're feisty for the first couple of years, and then the inevitable decline begins.

You don't choose a party because it's the flavour of the month. I feel I will be able to work under a political system. I feel if people like me don't enter politics to bring change, who will?

My dad was good with actions.

President George W. Bush, in his now-rare public appearances and interviews, still refuses to acknowledge he did anything to help Iran. But it doesn't really matter what he thinks.

I have actually five honorary degrees.

I'm not someone that wants to control everything. I like to work with people that bring their talents to the project. So I like it when the makeup artist has a chance to do their work, when the dresser does their work, when the director does their work. They all come with stories and ideas to think about.

My father who in this case was an obsessive life-long storyteller, and by a very peculiar trick of my father's. My father would tell a very, very long story, and the punch line would be in Yiddish.

I feel like the better version of myself is on paper... I'd rather have people know me on paper.

I mean people have compared us to like the Grateful Dead and all these like psychedelic sixties bands.

I've been wearing jeans all my life. I remember my first denim as a kid because my mum used to buy me OshKosh overalls.

We don't accomplish anything in this world alone... and whatever happens is the result of the whole tapestry of one's life and all the weavings of individual threads form one to another that creates something.

Remember how excited you are when you turn 5 years old. You should be 10 times that excited. Happy 50th birthday!

Since I've been hired to contribute to the storyline of 'Doom 4' I can say what was always true anyway. I'm working. You see, for a writer, lots of stuff that doesn't look like working is actually working. Looking out of the window, for example. Balancing a pencil on the edge of the desk in order to find its exact fulcrum. Playing 'Doom.'

The wage for most musicians is a modest amount, and that includes me some of the time.

My elementary school teachers were big on pushing kids to read. If you read a certain amount of books, they would provide you with incentives, sort of like what we are doing with the WrestleMania Reading Challenge.

Too often in life, something happens and we blame other people for us not being happy or satisfied or fulfilled. So the point is, we all have choices, and we make the choice to accept people or situations or to not accept situations.

I think I've learned the difference between the things I can control and the things I can't control. And hopefully, by doing the things I can control well, I'll have more favor in the other category.

But I married a guy who treated me very badly, but I was happy. I was miserable, so I was happy.

ADHD is a neurological and behavioral disorder that affects not only the person with it, but the entire family, including parents and the extended family of parental siblings and grandparents. It tests the limits of the family's ability to be supportive, understanding and loving.

You can't become legendary if you have no energy.

I'm done with my job. It was my job to be the advocate and spokesman for the President of the United States.

The real cure for our environmental problems is to understand that our job is to salvage mother nature. We are facing a formidable enemy in this field. It is the hunters and to convince them to leave their guns on the wall is going to be very difficult.

My father's a character.

There are people who cannot enjoy a pleasure unless they have first persuaded themselves that it is a duty. They are perhaps the most confirmed hedonists of all for they are not content to enjoy without the added delight of conscious rectitude.
