I grew up in a hippie commune so I have a real hippie part of me.

I grew up in a hippie commune so I have a real hippie part of me.

I don't have a goal but I just want to work on movies that I really like.

We all have our own little thing, I think.

Neither of us entered marriage thinking it wouldn't be a strain. Life has strains in it, and he's the person I want to strain with.

I liked the premise of this material. I love the marriage relationship. They kind of keep each other honest, and they enjoy each other's sense of humor. Kind of a sexy but boring relationship.

Hippy people had a hopeful idea of what they wanted the world to be like, then most of them changed into corporate Yuppies. But I still have that hippy thing underneath somewhere.

I don't read my reviews, but I have a bunch of them and I will when I'm 80.

I find that men are far more vain than women.

You want your partner to objectify you.

Of course a lot of courtship and dating is about sexual attraction. If youre an attractive person you have that sort of interest from people whether you cater to it or not but when you get older thats not really the leading thing anymore.

Parity is for farmers.

My parents were extreme left so everything was against the system. I was walking barefoot in the streets of Paris when I was eight. When I started to DJ they hated it, because for them, nightclubs, and all of this life, was terrible and fake.

I have no problem paying my dues and I have no problem going out and working the club circuit.

We must not be content to memorize the beautiful formulas of our illustrious predecessors. Let us go out and study beautiful nature.

I am absolutely confident that St. Louis can attract major players in technology and make the companies that are here blossom.

You have to ask yourself if you want to be the kind of actress who's interesting, or the kind of actress who's meant to play the pretty-but-uninteresting wife of a chubby guy on a network sitcom.

I think my favorite film of all time has to be 'The Illusionist' by Sylvain Chomet. Beautiful plot, beautiful story. You know, not much happens, but it's beautiful. And when I was young, 'The Triplets of Belleville' was one of my favorite movies. I liked his style a lot.

Autism is a neurological disorder. It's not caused by bad parenting. It's caused by, you know, abnormal development in the brain. The emotional circuits in the brain are abnormal. And there also are differences in the white matter, which is the brain's computer cables that hook up the different brain departments.

I sometimes ponder on variation form and it seems to me it ought to be more restrained, purer.

The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.

I think the one thing about me is I'm a fairly demanding guy, and I give a great deal of myself, and I expect that in return.

I have grown in my writing and I care about it now and I know how important it is to write stuff.

I usually tell people I watch like '24' and 'Prison Break.'

Being one of the few African American women to make it to this level in a classical ballet company, the level of American Ballet Theatre, takes a lot of perseverance.

Every day I lugged my backpack through the halls, waiting for the final bell. Then I'd race home and hole up in my room, playing the drums and the piano, composing music.

Originally, I came from Texas, and we lived on - I guess you'd call it welfare, what we called relief.

How great is it to just rest and be happy and not move when you don't have to.

And then, I suppose, there's also a cinematic reality on top of that. Because it was extremely difficult to keep tabs on, it was quite confusing acting that.

None of us know what is going to sell or what people want to read.

I love historical movies. I want to make a violent medieval epic.

Surely it is a magical thing for a handful of words, artfully arranged, to stop time. To conjure a place, a person, a situation, in all its specificity and dimensions. To affect us and alter us, as profoundly as real people and things do.

A teacher is one who helps others and influences lives forever.

In this life, all you need is for someone to believe in you.

I don't like to go to the movies to see violence or some kind of spy thing with all kinds of information you have to assimilate to understand the plot.
