I'm so far removed from live playing any more.

Emotions are the fuel to really move you along - that's the only way you can create music. If you don't feel any emotions, it's not going to happen.

Still for fun, I play the drums, but I don't do much recording with them.

It was very hard to get any records, so the only source for us to really hear what was happening was listening to the Voice of America. We would be taping all the broadcast and then sharing the tapes and talking about it.

I've been doing a lot of music for films and television for quite a few years.

You never know what you find once you really get going.

Growing up, I was very much interested in jazz music.

The problem that I have is with the music business. For some reason it seems almost impossible to get anything, any music, released which includes improvisation or soloing.

It's not really that I didn't want to perform at all. What I didn't want to do was try to put together a band, rehearse, on my own. You know what I mean?

I'm so far removed from live playing any more.

My mother is a singer, still performs today; she's a jazz singer.

The passion and spontaneity in music is all gone.

The band couldn't have happened anywhere else in the world but New York. That was the catalyst.

I spent well over a year on the road with Sarah Vaughn. That was amazing.

Emotions are the fuel to really move you along thats the only way you can create music. If you dont feel any emotions its not going to happen.

I feel like people want to be surprised when they get out of the movies. They want something thrown at them they didn't expect. They want stuff that reminds them of the feelings that you get when you're watching art house movies but with the fun of like a big summer movie. That's the goal, I guess.

I live a dramatic life, it's just not on TV yet.

Simplicity in character, in manners, in style; in all things the supreme excellence is simplicity.

A film like 'Good Night And Good Luck,' you make that for $7 million because you know it's a black-and-white film, and it's not an easy sell. If you make it for $7 million, then everybody can have a chance to make a little bit of money, and you get to make the film you want to make.

We should remember that bearing a heartfelt testimony is only a beginning. We need to bear testimony, we need to mean it, and most importantly we need consistently to live it. We need to both declare and live our testimonies.

What I like about graduation speeches is that they're an opportunity for someone to make sense of their life and to impart that wisdom to someone else. It's like a sanctioned self-help moment.

Film is not a woman's medium. If you weren't the hottest kid in town, men stayed away from you.

A full belly is little worth where the mind is starved.

I've always been fascinated by quantum physics and the possibility of alternate realities.

To love someone means to see him as God intended him.

H&M makes it easy for a guy to look great every single day and create a personal style. Their men's collection always gives me a choice of how I want to dress, whether it be sharp in a suit and polo-neck, or more relaxed in jeans and a tweed jacket.

I find myself listening to Talk Talk on repeat while I'm doing gardening in upstate New York. Their music is so languid, and I just love his voice.

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtfully committed citizens can change the world. Indeed its the only thing that ever has.

I was a great student at a great school, Wharton School of Finance.

Metaphors are fine if they aid understanding, but sometimes they get in the way.

The biggest thrill wasnt in winning on Sunday but in meeting the payroll on Monday.

The last watch I wore felt like a handcuff. When I need to know the time, I check my cell phone.

Rome has grown since its humble beginnings that it is now overwhelmed by its own greatness.

A great architect is not made by way of a brain nearly so much as he is made by way of a cultivated, enriched heart.

I've missed London so much for its fashion. No disrespect to the girls in Manchester, but some really do look like clones - there's a lot of hair extensions and fake tans. You're free to experiment down here.

I was a very studious student and usually got A's. I did not like school, because I wasn't popular - I was a nerd.

We are talking now of summer evenings in Knoxville, Tennessee, in the time that I lived there so successfully disguised to myself as a child.

It's a funny thing, but today the Titanic is probably much more - that is people are much more aware of it than they were in 1954, when I was doing my research.

Sleep is that golden chain that ties health and our bodies together.
