There's fifty bands doing my riffs for ever and ever.

Until these college students came into town, we were all very poor and didn't have money to do anything.

And there was no money in Chicago for a band.

And we used to do a lot of drugs and get very drunk on very cheap wine.

We never really wanted to play in California.

We don't care about our audiences that much. We just go out and play.

They're there because, for some reason, they have the notion that they're supposed to be there.

We were just a bunch of high school kids who got into the Ramones together.

Our very first gig in Melbourne was a confrontation.

We don't analyze our lyrics.

We played a gig and we had a song that was offensive to people of the Jewish persuasion, and we led off with it, and they were offended by it, and that was that.

It was an extremely trying time for me. Best was still intimate with MacLeod and the others about the laboratory. I was out of the picture entirely. MacLeod had taken over the whole physiological investigation. Collip had taken over the biochemistry. Professor Graham and Dr. Campbell had taken over the whole clinical aspect of the investigation.

I was a smart kid, but I hated school.

In the Peace Corps, the volunteer must be a fully developed, mature person. He must not join to run abroad or escape problems.

Suddenly, at about ten o'clock, a dull thud sounded somewhere far away from us, and simultaneously we saw a small white round cloud about half a mile ahead of us where the shrapnel had exploded. The battle had begun.

There are two sighs of relief every night in the life of an opera manager. The first comes when the curtain goes up The second sigh of relief comes when the final curtain goes down without any disaster, and one realizes, gratefully, that the miracle has happened again.

My parents are extremely proud of me.

I like to help create team spirit in the dressing room. I feel that I've got loads of love to give.

I live - I live a highly scheduled life. There's absolutely no time wasted. I'm very focused. And I have a great assistant.

The most important thing for any athlete is to know his ability. If you know your ability and have even a little bit of a strong mindset, you can get success, because your ability takes you to success.

A conservative is one who admires radicals centuries after theyre dead.

When we look for the good and expect it to show up, we'll always find it.

The most difficult thing in the world is to know how to do a thing and to watch someone else doing it wrong, without commenting.

I like the facts. I find them interesting.

I don't know much about him; never heard him say more than nope or yup.

America's greatest strength, and its greatest weakness, is our belief in second chances, our belief that we can always start over, that things can be made better.

Life is funny. If you don't laugh, you're in trouble.

Still to this day, I don't know when I write something whether it's good or not.

Art is a reality, not a definition; inasmuch as it approaches a reality, it approaches perfection, and inasmuch as it approaches a mere definition, it is imperfect and untrue.

My parents were like the kind of people who read the 'Enquirer' and believed everything it said.

I am camp. Lots of gay men can't cope with their campness. They are in denial about it.

Children are sent to school to be civilized, to learn to be part of the social enterprise.

I grew up watching 'Grease,' and 'Grease 2.' I fantasized about walking through school halls and busting out in a song. At that time, I was too much of a chicken to do so. I'd love the challenge now.

There is certainly no absolute standard of beauty. That precisely is what makes its pursuit so interesting.

I am not interested in being a Barbie doll and turning myself into a sausage for the next 20 years. I want to follow actresses like Helen Mirren and Judi Dench who have lines on their faces and aren't afraid of playing their age.
