Production is something I've never come to terms with.

We have a need to be religious, we need to worship, we need to build totems and shrines and icons, but nobody's sure in honor of what.

The Beatles were something everyone had in common; this was thirty years ago, there was Dr. Who and everybody knew who the Daleks were and there was The Beatles and everybody knew who George Harrison was.

Dreams are a scientific fact.

You realize that the first Bryan Ferry album was pretty good although at the time it seemed a bit cheesy.

I was always jealous of something getting more attention.

People's intelligence tends to be in inverse proportion to their number. People don't tend to get smarter as they get into bigger groups.

In this world of doubt, one thing is certain for me; that I will go on writing songs up to and - I hope, through heavenly means or diabolical - beyond the day I die.

I've been able to make a good living as a musician, but now it's time to do all the other stuff.

Using the word weird implies that there is a norm.

I thin many people's deviant behavior starts with dreams because dreams are so non-linear... as if there's an assumption that everything has to be linear or has to be plotted.

Most songs are somewhere between love and death, and mine are no exception.

After Nashville sushi and a long debate on Bob Dylan, we went into Woodland Studios at 10 pm that night for a look around, and jammed for 5 hours solid.

I was buying Bob Dylan mainly, everything I could get hold of by him.

Every so often you have to increase your profile so you can let it lower again, like a balloon.

You can't censor people's dreams.

I became a musician because that's really what I wanted to do when I was fifteen, but I had other abilities.

After the Soft Boys I just didn't want to work with any more guitarists.

So whenever I hear The Beatles I always feel I've got a lot in common with everybody else.

Everyone has a right to change their consciousness, but ultimately the whole process is misleading.

Everything is a reaction.

Playing acoustic and line drawings are the two things I'm most competent at.

Promoting a record on a major label is like running a minor military campaign.

If people were really naked and everyone knew what each other was thinking, everyone would probably just laugh... or they'd lock each other up.

One of the ideas behind doing this acoustic record is that I didn't want to have to produce it by committee.

If you do things out of time you're weird.

When you think about great teams, The Beatles and the Pythons immediately spring to mind. The Pythons were as much a part of their time as The Beatles.

As soon as someone like me or David Lynch pops up everyone says hallelujah, how weird.

I can tell how I'm doing, and I can tell if the crowd is particularly dead.

As soon as a norm is established, people start questioning it, which is probably a good thing in the end.

Production is something I've never come to terms with.

Well, I've been painting for years. I just started doing a lot more in the last couple.

An un-named song is like an un-named child, it has no identity.

Every so often you have to increase your profile so you can let it lower again like a balloon.

Just as with a guitar you can improvise a guitar solo and theyd probably be similar each time but they wont be exactly the same. With the word its probably a bit freer than that. I probably repeat myself more musically than I do verbally.

I am not stopped by low funds, physical exhaustion, mental exhaustion, or temptations to stop and work on some other production that would be more financially rewarding.

Stories come from other shows at other studios where only 2,000 rounds were actually used and the money for the other 3,000 went right into the studio pockets. Corners were cut and that production suffered. Knock wood, that hasn't happened to us.

I was lucky enough to occasionally break out of that racist situation that prevails in the Hollywood film production community. But it was racist then and it will always be that way. It will never be otherwise.

So I decided to form a production company with my wife and our partner Diane.

Capital is a result of labor, and is used by labor to assist it in further production. Labor is the active and initial force, and labor is therefore the employer of capital.

It is obvious that the greatest and most important service that is required of our agriculture under existing conditions is an enlarged production of the staple food crops.

Let's talk of a system that transforms all the social organisms into a work of art, in which the entire process of work is included... something in which the principle of production and consumption takes on a form of quality. It's a Gigantic project.

From another point of view, a new situation now seems to be arising in which Japan's prosperity is going to be incorporated into the expanding potential power of both production and consumption in Asia at large.

I used to be pretty reckless. When I was a runner for a production company, I drove a massive 16 seater van. I was only 18. I mean I look young now, but then I looked about 12.

He saved the production a tremendous amount. Now they did the scene where Omar is on the horse and he's in the deep snow, they went to Finland to do that. That scene they went to Finland for a week. I wasn't around then.

I ask every Communist individually to set an example, by deeds and without pretense, a real example worthy of a man and a Communist, in restoring order, starting normal life, in resuming work and production, and in laying the foundations of an ordered life.

The next day I was in my school's production of All My Sons. This was the performance where I realized something was happening between me and the audience that I hadn't recognized before.

After living in LA for 8 years, I sort of wanted a change, but there's not much production in New York, which is where I primarily live, so I just sort of drifted over to London.

If you look over the years, the styles have changed - the clothes, the hair, the production, the approach to the songs. The icing to the cake has changed flavors. But if you really look at the cake itself, it's really the same.
