Really the topic of breakfast cereal is generally a very boring one.

I'm not so much of a joiner.

I asked my friend Greg Andersson to introduce me to people that can distribute my album.

I think people listen to whatever they think is good.

Really the topic of breakfast cereal is generally a very boring one.

I'm just going to put out three or four releases a year and make it so that if you like the Desert Sessions, then you'll definitely like everything else.

The expression of this idea is Queens of the Stone Age, but the idea is that you will never slack on the music and will always humble yourself at the alter of Rock.

I know there are some labels that put out music for art's sake, but I don't know which ones.

I think people get fixated on the example of an idea.

I like to keep my feet on the sidewalk.

Independent minded girls that are naked sounds like a great start to something.

I think everyone is trying to figure out who they are and their own thing.

I like when people take chances.

Well, I think what's most important is the idea of something.

You got to risk something to be able to give something, you know?

Sometimes you actually get caught in the web of things where people are talking about... what kind of breakfast cereal you like.

Vinyl has gotten to the point where it's exclusively for the collector, I guess.

I felt really free, like I could do anything, because no one would know what to expect.

Not everyone deserves to be a musician, you get lucky enough to be one.

I'm always looking for cool stuff to do because that's what we're supposed to do, ya know?

So the thing is to put out music for music's sake.

Sometimes Queens' music is dark, but somehow it's ok to deliver it with a smile on your face because thing's are still going to kick in.

I think part of what happens is that small labels want to get bigger. And bigger is not better.

I think if you play music and you join a scene you're already too late.

I think more people need to make out.

Ultimately, words are only words, and its only the music that stands by itself.

I thought nothing would ever happen for me. My whole life had been geared toward being a singer, and it wasn't clicking.

We need transparency in government spending. We need to put each government expenditure online so every Floridian can see where their tax money is being spent.

At Christmas, I am always struck by how the spirit of togetherness lies also at the heart of the Christmas story. A young mother and a dutiful father with their baby were joined by poor shepherds and visitors from afar. They came with their gifts to worship the Christ child.

I have a preference for film just because of the familiarity. It's what I know, and I sort of have nostalgia for it.

Mindfulness is a quality that's always there. It's an illusion that there's a meditation and post-meditation period, which I always find amusing, because you're either mindful or you're not.

Being lonely is not a bad thing for a writer.

I'd rather make an interesting film that gets people talking, that maybe some people hate, than make the kind of 'entertaining' film that everyone feels ambivalent about.

Everything is entertainment; criticism is now entertainment and it seems that the French directors have woken up one day and suddenly realised that they were not backed up any more.

Each generation has been an education for us in different ways. The first child with bloody nose was rushed to the emergency room. The fifth child with bloody nose was told to go to the yard immediately and stop bleeding on the carpet.

I threw my 20th birthday party at Brown, and I didn't even have to say to anyone not to put pictures on Facebook. Not a single picture went up. That was when I knew I'd found a solid group of friends, and I felt like I belonged.

There are people who can't stand me, they say, 'God, he makes me sick', or, 'He's creepy', but it doesn't affect me too badly.

Every morning you have two choices: continue to sleep with your dreams, or wake up and chase them.

I go through phases where I buy only Speed Stick and Axe, and Noxzema shaving cream.

Libraries are a hallmark of a civilized culture, and librarians represent that culture to all facets of society.

I love the comfort of daily life's routines: things like being able to read a paper on the subway. It's no accident that my favourite word is 'quotidian.'

I am attracted to anything that does not feel derivative.

Love conquers all difficulties, surmounts all obstacles, and effects what to any other power would be impossible.

When someone takes a private photo, on a private cell phone, it should remain just that: private.

I went in, and there, in the front room, a converted bedroom, sat the first radio I had ever seen. The equipment was so bulky that it took up one entire wall of the bedroom. The set, which could send or receive signals, was tuned to KDKA in Pittsburgh, and I remember being completely flabbergasted at the thought of sounds coming from that box.

None of the films I've done was designed for a mass audience, except for 'Indiana Jones.' Nobody in their right mind thought 'American Graffiti' or 'Star Wars' would work.

Greece gave democracy to the rest of the world.

My wife gets so mad at me because I don't like to cook on the grill.

The Church, however, is a self-governing society, distinct from the State, having its officers and laws, and, therefore, an administrative government of its own.
