If I'm interested in what I'm doing, other people will be interested in it.

I'm writing a movie about Mozart going to New York in the '60s. I've been reading so many novels.

Time plays a role in almost every decision. And some decisions define your attitude about time.

What I enjoy most about being on stage is that the natural instruments give you a greater freedom with texture. When you use natural instruments they have their own resonance.

Growing up in Wales was a pretty Draconian experience with religion.

The avant-garde makes more sense to me.

I never use the word, it's loaded. What love means to me is need.

I missed out on my teenage years. I led a sheltered life. I was practicing scales instead of playing football.

We gave up on the idea of trying to make the record a good representation of the live performance.

I'm impatient. I get twitchy. When I get that feeling I just go out and make something happen.

All of the sudden the audiences started getting younger and the spread of the attendance was really wide. I think it's as a result of the records selling more that they started following our careers.

In cities like New York and Austin, there's much more of a social context for music than in other places.

We'd hold a chord for three hours if we could.

I'm content with making records, but I don't want to be doing the same thing all the time.

People sort of know me for that solo piano music I did.

I want to get lean and mean, keep it minimalist.

The value of having a computer, to me, is that it'll remember everything you do. It's a databank.

I learn from thinking about the future, what hasn't been done yet. That's kind of my constant obsession.

Even if you're improvising, the fact that beforehand you know certain things will work helps you make those improvisations successful. It really helps to have a certain amount of knowledge about musical structure.

When somebody grabs a movement, you're kind of locked into it. It's all par for the course.

The only reason we wore sunglasses onstage was because we couldn't stand the sight of the audience.

If you're all loaded up on love, you haven't got anywhere else to go.

That's what my life is, writing songs.

I like what the future holds. I don't like thinking about the past.

There is no executive order; there is no law that can require the American people to form a national community. This we must do as individuals and if we do it as individuals, there is no President of the United States who can veto that decision.

Young people discovering their sexuality must know they walk with a strong tradition and that they are not alone. They have a right to information without being pressured.

Many are needed to plant and water what has been planted now that the faith has spread so far and there are so many people... No matter who plants or waters, God gives no harvest unless what is planted is the faith of Peter and unless he agrees to his teachings.

DJs and people in the street know what they like.

People who keep stiff upper lips find that it's damn hard to smile.

Some people are directors and I think they should stay behind the camera.

We dominated Survivor - there is no way we would not dominate that, too. I can see it already, us making deals with people. That's the best part, and with the Race, it would be even more fun because I've got a lot of tricks up my sleeve.

I'm getting a wider circle of fans now. More women, more middle class people.

We must support initiatives that provide clear, concrete measures and milestones that our troops need for defeating the insurgency, building up Iraqi security forces, and handing over Iraq to the Iraqi people.

Yeah, that's what kind of, we get the idea a little bit yeah, because other people from different countries also try as hard as they can to get a medal or a gold medal in the Olympic Games. And you know, if they can work hard, we can work hard as well.

Well concerning the world records that I did, I think it helps a lot to me, yeah. I think it's a very individual thing because I heard some people say, like, oh I don't like it at all. But I definitely, for me it really made a big difference.

My goal is, of course, for this show to do well, and I would love it if people liked it.

I hate wasting people's time.

Religions get lost as people do.

I also do not like the idea of soft money, these issue ads - people don't know where the money is coming from, millions and millions of dollars outside of the control of a candidate - there's no accountability.

The people of England are the most enthusiastic in the world.

The avantgarde are people who don't exactly know where they want to go, but are the first to get there.

My theory is if you have a religion, it's a good one. Because some people don't have any at all.

It's sometimes shocking to find out what people really believe in.

That's Tommy, this great producer who comes in contact with people and must have a mental library of personnel who are great for this and great for that, and he brought this whole group of musicians to the project that I'd never worked with before.

Rock and rollers can get you the youth buzz, and younger people are fanatical readers.

Sitting at home the way I do, I'd just love the hear from people. It'd be a great help in passing the time.

I guess I strike people as very serious, or very intense.

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