I like a lot of bass players. I like a lot of tuba players too.

My first payback to society in life, was The Dolphin Project.

When I used to play nightclubs, you had to play Top 40 or favorite oldies that maybe people could relate to.

As time goes on we get closer to that American Dream of there being a pie cut up and shared. Usually greed and selfishness prevent that and there is always one bad apple in every barrel.

I like a lot of bass players. I like a lot of tuba players too.

When I was a kid a growing up in Ontario, Canada, Lake Erie was so polluted, I never thought it would ever, EVER be turned around where they could start cleaning it out in my lifetime!

Also a portion of my sales go directly to Greenpeace.

When CD technology first came out, it was just so much waste.

By doing something positive in this world, you're helping people and the future. We're all trying to help the world... make it a better place to live. We're actually still changing the world, aren't we?

You have to remember the band played from 1960 to 1965, every night. You get into a rut playing nightclubs every night, and you didn't want to run it into the ground.

Paul Butterfield and I had a band together at one point.

I am using soybean based ink, which is recyclable.

Then, there was Greenpeace, I remember that when they first started out with the boats in the waters, and the guys in the boats between the whales and the boats that will hunting the whales with spear guns.

You put a song on the record or on tape and you stop singing it. You just don't sit around and sing it anymore unless you're performing. That's kind of sad.

After convincing myself that was maybe you should at least help out your neighborhood, I really started to think about it later on in life.

The pressures, I don't really like to think about the pressures, I like to solve them, you know what I mean. I could sit here and complain about pressures but nobody wants to hear about pressures.

I saw Ronnie Hawkins play near my hometown, Port Dover, Ontario, and I saw him play there on New Year's Eve and the following spring I booked myself to be his opening act on maybe five shows, and he hired me after the first night.

The Band was always famous for its retirements; we'd go and play and get a little petty cash together, and then not see each other till it was time to fill our pockets up again.

When I was younger, I had big visions of changing the world.

Getting older, I realize I've had a very fortunate life. I've had a budget that's allowed me to do just about any silly little thing the mind could conjure up, and I'm still alive and here.

The Band is sounding real good. We've been doing some dates together and they've been going well.

I love to play; a stage is a safe place for me to be. It's not that way for most folks, but I'd be lost without it.

I grew up not far from where Motown was founded, maybe 300 miles from Detroit and I've always liked - I used to like the way they made records. I still do, I just haven't had a chance to hear as much. They used to entertain me.

I started working with Bob in 1965. We did go through a lot of changes from 65 to 74, a lot of changes. By 1974, everything had straightened itself out.

I'm here in the mountains, in the foothills of the Catskills.

Country artists, I met a lot of them when I was five, six years old. I had an uncle who was a country and western singer and I met Lefty Frizzell when I was five or six years old in those shows that would come through Toronto from Nashville.

Today you are you! That is truer than true! There is no one alive who is you-er than you!

Through acting and film, I felt that my life had a sense to it. I felt I had a mission.

If worship bores you, you are not ready for heaven.

I know that I have a face, a look, people aren't used to seeing. A presence.

You don't always need a plan. Sometimes you just need to breathe, trust, let go, and see what happens.

To me comedy is just twisting reality. Its commenting or observing or twisting life.

In South Carolina, there's a lot of arts programs. So I was blessed enough to go to the Governor School For Arts & Humanities.

I'm always having ideas. I'd like to continue being able to realise the ideas I have.

It's like taking over This Is Your Life from Eamonn Andrews - you just open your mouth and hope you sound like yourself. That's all you can possibly do.

Finding love is like making creme brulee. It may take a few tries before you get it right.

I'm not an admirer of action movies. I just think, Oh my God, it must be so tiring.

I guess in Australia every film is sort of an indie film because there are no studios.

Oppositions are not there to get legislation through. Oppositions are there to hold the government to account.

Our leaders continue to say that we're making strong headway against this problem. And I think we are not.

Being referred to as a hunk or a heartthrob makes me nervous, but it's flattering. But I'm more interested in being an actor than a heartthrob.

It's funny, we started writing chick-lit when it was just becoming a crowded marketplace, and now the same thing is happening with YA. It really used to just be one shelf at the library - Nancy Drew and Judy Blume.

If you are curious you will learn. If you are desperate you will discover.

Imagination - that's the future for us.

I'm an old curmudgeon and I know it.

Do not skip meals. Eat three meals a day and eat until you feel satisfied and comfortably full.

When I made 'Hard Boiled,' I had no idea that it would be released to an international audience. I just wanted to make a film to team up my two favorite actors, Tony Leung and Chow Yun-Fat.

There will not be a billion-shekel cut to education on my watch.

Every linguistic sign is located on two axes: the axis of simultaneity and that of succession.
