At some of the venues, the audience was so loud we could hardly hear what was happening on stage, which kind of threw us back to 1983, when we had very similar reactions on a much bigger scale.

It's a nonstop schedule, really. I had lost myself somewhere.

When you're in a band that's so big when you're young, you kind of lose your identity a little bit. You just become part of the band. I just needed to get away from it.

It was great fun. We had gone on tour in between the sessions and reconnected with the audience and got a lot of energy back from them, a lot of positive energy.

I was burned out. I think I was just exhausted. It was a very intense five years. We didn't stop. It was constant touring, constant writing, recording.

Some people even went off to form another band, Power Station.

We're very lucky to be able to go back and reclaim something that was a very special part of all our lives.

I guess when we were up against it, we knew this album was going to be compared to all the classic early material, because it was going back to the original five.

You never know how you're going to be received, after all this time. The initial response we had was just overwhelming, particularly that tour of the States.

Everybody was on the same page. Nobody has really gone out there on a different musical journey. When we got back together again, we all wanted to do the same kind of music.

I lived a normal life for a number of years. I had kids. I lived up on a farm in Gloucestershire in rural England, and just kind of got back to reality again.

It's amazing to see places like Madison Square Garden on the schedule again.

Nick and Simon had come to a natural end of their working relationship with Warren, which obviously opened the door for a reunion of the original five.

As Andy says, being in this band in the early 1980s made you feel like you were part of a pizza. We were always one of the band, one of Duran Duran, or one of the Taylors.

I like Target. I like the ones in the Midwest, personally. We don't really have those in England yet.

Sometimes the problem is not the people in the band, but the people around the band.

The bar was very high-we had to really make sure that we got what we really wanted, that it was a real finished album. We weren't going to give up until we got that.

Seven and the Ragged Tiger took six months to record and finish.

I slowly started to drift back into music again. I finally got the call from John... about getting the band back together again. It was so out of the blue. I almost thought that the moment had passed.

We still seem to trigger that intensity in people, which was quite incredible.

At some of the venues, the audience was so loud we could hardly hear what was happening on stage, which kind of threw us back to 1983, when we had very similar reactions on a much bigger scale.

A life without glitter is no life at all.

Information about money is more important than money itself.

The two most important things in my life were academics and sports. I had to do my schoolwork first.

We have a secret project at Third Man where we want to have the first vinyl record played in outer space. We want to launch a balloon that carries a vinyl record player.

A brain scan may reveal the neural signs of anxiety, but a Kokoschka painting, or a Schiele self-portrait, reveals what an anxiety state really feels like. Both perspectives are necessary if we are to fully grasp the nature of the mind, yet they are rarely brought together.

I love to see people laugh and put a smile on peoples' faces. Anytime I'm doing that I'm happy.

People will feel the way they feel.

I think she's so cool, but I personally don't think I sound like Rihanna! But when I first released my music, I did get that comparison a lot. I never really thought about that, but it's a good thing. She's awesome.

Whatever you want to have happen to you make it happen for others now and eventually but inevitably you will reap the seeds you have sown.

A lot of times, I'm traveling or have appointments, so I don't get to work out every day, but I try to get to the gym as much as I can.

I'm not going to speculate about legislation that I haven't seen before.

As we embark on something as ambitious as the Common Core, educators must be able to teach to the standards with the necessary support and collaboration and without the sense that there will be dire consequences if students, schools and their tests don't make the grade.

I wish I could describe anything I do as conscious or strategized. To be honest, in acting, you have so little control. The only control you have is if you're lucky enough to be in a position, which is not very often, in which you have choice. It's about what choices you make, and for me, it's entirely instinctive.

Physics is becoming too difficult for the physicists.

For short term relaxation, I take a hot tub. It's my best way to unblock writers' block, too. For a bit longer relaxation, I enjoy camping. Just being in the wilderness, with no phones or computers or anything I have to do really refreshes my spirit.

I moonlight as a singer.

Money should not, and must not, change our commitment to solving problems and building this state.

Politicians are the same all over. They promise to build bridges even when there are no rivers.

We all start in this medium because of the magic and the challenge is to keep it going.

Many laws as certainly make bad men, as bad men make many laws.

The people on Baywatch were about as nice a group of people as I had ever worked with.

Hunger and malnutrition have devastating consequences for children and have been linked to low birth weight and birth defects, obesity, mental and physical health problems, and poorer educational outcomes.

It doesn't always happen according to the way you have planned things out but I feel if you have covered most of the aspects, it does help out there in the middle.

Nobody realizes that Mormons were the first Americans to settle Las Vegas.
