I just wanted to be a part of the band. Actually, that's what inspired me.

Believing in something and being a part of something you believe in and watching it work and coming from it.

At the beginning, it was me, Run and D, but D's voice is messed up.

I just wanted to be a part of the band. Actually, that's what inspired me.

Going to your set with the headphones on in the middle of the night so that your parents don't know what you're doing when you're supposed to be asleep is great. I was rocking the bedroom. That was so much more fun when I got the 1200s.

With this CD technology, you can just remix a record right there on the spot.

Then I got a gig with an older friend who had the equipment and he played in this bar. They would bring me in the bar through the backdoor and I would DJ in the back room most of the night. Then they'd take me out the backdoor, so I was never really in the bar.

How I dressed in high school is the way we dressed.

Profile has half the publishing and they control and administer the publishing and distribute and own the records, so our group is a 10-point crew. But we got a lot of money off of the shows.

The technology is just so far gone. It's just like back in the day you needed a suitcase just to have a cell phone. The battery was so heavy, it was like carrying a gallon of soda around with you all day.

You really need to be on the edge and you have to keep your eyes open.

Back in the day, if someone said that hip hop and rap was a fad, that was a joke to me because they just didn't know what they were talking about. In reality, there were so many people who didn't know what they were talking about it.

I remember when I was coming up, the music stores where you could get guitar strings was where I got my records from. Now the place where you get your records from is where you can get your DJ mats and your mixers.

I was a drummer and I played the guitar.

And I know how many DJ pools have grown and I know how DJing has grown in the overall, but that was the technical side of it to me. DJs were rolling around, looking for stuff to buy and looking to see what was in the store when they get there.

If I started at 13, by the time I was 14 I was already good enough to play in front of people. I started off playing drums when I was 5, so playing in front of people didn't matter - not a problem.

There's no way that if you get participation out of a person can they say you didn't rock it.

Then I just moved into being a DJ when that turned into the hottest thing.

Make sure to save for the future and keep making money!

Wrestling has grown so big... it's almost a culture. And it's a culture of all types of vibes, just like hip-hop has all kinds of vibes and rap has all kinds of vibes.

The sort of enjoyment that we all get from that voyeuristic impulse of looking into other people's house as we pass them, and the idea that there might be something sinister or strange going on in the houses we pass every day or in our neighborhood, is a very compelling idea.

You know, when you choose to make your living as an actor, it's all fine and good to look at it as some kind of artistic endeavor. At its best, it is that. But the fact is, most of the actors out there don't earn $3 million a picture and can't afford to take two years off between films and look for the right thing. Most of us are tradesmen.

Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other.

I have girlfriends who've had Botox and been left with lumps in their faces. And the lips, don't even get me started.

Like Jesus, every human being has enough memories in his past to occupy his time and thoughts continually. It is not the remembrance of these incidents but the reliving of them that creates havoc in our souls.

Walnuts have a shell, and they have a kernel. Religions are the same. They have an essence, but then they have a protective coating. This is not the only way to put it. But it's my way. So the kernels are the same. However, the shells are different.

Somebody like a Piggy or a Kermit, there needs to be several versions and so there will be several of them.

Humour is a great vehicle for getting a message across. If you get too serious, you could die of starch.

I don't do what I do to get nominated. I do what I do because I love it.

The hardest part about acting is realizing it doesn't matter.

Youve got to jump off cliffs and build your wings on the way down.

The bonds of trust between the United States and Israel have been frayed, but even the hostility and disrespect the Obama administration has shown has not severed those bonds.

It's hard to be the one that stands out when, you know, in a ballet company, you're trying to create unison and uniform when you're in a corps de ballet.

There's been an increase in the number of Iraqis in training, but more Americans are dying and violence is increasing.

I give the name violence to a boldness lying idle and enamored of danger.

No matter how poor my eyes are I can still talk.

There are almost as many definitions of co-dependency as there are experiences that represent it.

We suddenly saw how people reacted in the event of massive social upheaval, and the way that the little problems in your life don't go away. You don't stop being frightened of spiders just because the world's blown up.

Fame isn't healthy for a writer.

My fans know the name Larry Holmes and that he always gave it his all.

Personally I'm obsessive-compulsive about the placement and cleanliness of my things.

I guess every character has a little bit of the actor - I guess for every character you play, the actor has to allow a little bit of their own character to show through.

I had to help to coax the performances and I really enjoyed that extra responsibility.

I didn't really have a mentor, but I have always definitely been inspired by the '70s - the Stones, Patti Smith, Anita Pallenberg.
