I've made several films that haven't been shown.

I've made several films that haven't been shown.

Some very famous directors have started in the mail room, which is just getting inside the studio, getting to know people, getting to know the routine.

The music rights at the time cost me $12,000 in 1964 money, which is about double now or whatever. But I cleared everything. I had a lawyer in New York. And it was cleared for use in a short subject, not a feature.

Nobody in America, in the modern generation, has read their mythology or legends.

I have a problem with censorship by the lawyer - by legal people by the publishing firm, and I may be changing publishers. They don't seem to want to take too many risks with living people.

I've never made a film using dialogue or speech.

Words are our life. We are human because we use language. So I think we are less human when we use less language.

Naturally, everybody has certain things they wish they hadn't done in life. They wish they hadn't kicked their dog when they were ten or something.

My obligation is to the owners of Barclays, my shareholders. They hired me. People who criticise compensation for individuals in isolation at, say, BarCap, individuals who don't work in the U.K. and are competing with U.S., German or Asian banks, they should look at all these factors.

I love Kelly Clarkson.

Actually the adrenaline of the game will probably help me out a little bit to regain command and concentration about the things that I have to do.

As I went between the Islamic Society in my college and university, the mosque, the halal takeaway, and visited the homes of my male Muslim friends, it was entirely possible for me to get through my day without interacting in any meaningful way with a single non-Muslim.

Maybe you are the "cool" generation If coolness means a capacity to stay calm and use your head in the service of ends passionately believed in, then it has my admiration.

Let the improvement of yourself keep you so busy that you have no time to criticize others.

If you have the wind farms but no transmission, you just have things blowing in the wind.

I try to have a true line in every character I play.

And then it was like, wait, you can go to college and study theater? And act in plays? This is almost a racket, you know. And then when the opportunity came along to do it professionally, I thought I'd won the lottery.

Rhythm and blues started even before phonograph records were being produced because black people entertained themselves. It wasn't done for money. It was done for entertainment. Most white people didn't know anything about this because prejudice kept them from ever seeing what was going on.

Closed mouths don't get fed, and I'm gonna eat every time I get on the court.

Practice, practice, practice until you eventually get numb on rejections.

If my leg falls off, I'll get a prosthetic. There'd be no deep sadness about. I'd just get on with it! It's called life, and I love life. You have to be positive, and you have to crack on no matter what.

I'm afraid Japanese people tend to collective hysteria.

History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again.

When I have a creative block, I take walks. I like to see what shapes stick out - so many legs rushing by at once, it can seem abstract. I don't need to see great art to get stirred up. Music does that for me more easily.

Getting stress out of your life takes more than prayer alone. You must take action to make changes and stop doing whatever is causing the stress. You can learn to calm down in the way you handle things.

I'm a jewelry girl. I became with friends with designer Irene Neuwirth a few years ago. At that point, I just used to wear my wedding rings. Very low key. Now, if I could, I'd be draped from head to toe in her jewelry all the time. Everything she makes is beautiful.

Begin now to be what you will be hereafter.

Making sounds that literally no one has ever heard before because the software and the technology's never been there, and pairing that with great songwriting, then that's what's exciting for me. That's what I wanna do.

Once we rid ourselves of traditional thinking we can get on with creating the future.

My legacy is that I stayed on course... from the beginning to the end, because I believed in something inside of me.
