We live in a pretty bleak time. I feel that in the air. Everything is uncertain. Everything feels like its on the precipice of some major transformation, whether we like it or not.

I like songs that have lots of different parts in them, an intro, an outro and a bridge.

I spend my time trying to figure art out. I was brought up to believe that the way one processes information is by making it into art. That's how I live my life.

The most important thing in my father's life? World peace. Me and my brother. My mom.

For me, songwriting is something I have to do ritually. I don't just wait for inspiration; I try to write a little bit every day.

My tendency is to be very experimental.

I feel like I've been way overexposed in the press. I'd rather play shows and represent myself in person.

I'm not trying to overcome my father or fill his shoes or reach any kind of level that he did. We're talking about a Mozart of rock music.

I'm trying to use the language of today to express a general existential crisis that I think the world and I are going through.

Being famous is having the power to really implement positive change in the world, and it gives you the power to do what you want. I'm really grateful for it because I can play music and people will listen.

Now, music almost feels naked in my mind.

Growing up, I fantasized about being a rock musician and that somehow it would be really easy. I didn't realize that it's so much work.

Making films is great. You've got 100 people around and you're all dressing up and making weird art-it's a fun group activity.

It's a bit embarrassing watching myself, but I couldn't get someone else to play me, that would've been stupid.

I like songs that go to different places and then come back.

I feel that film is inevitably the medium of the future. It has been for years, decades, but more so now than ever.

I like music because it's the only invisible art form.

Putting out commercial pieces and promoting them and trying to sell them to people is not necessarily what it means to be an artist.

I like to have books around to give me ideas-to get the verbal part of my brain to start working.

There's no single movement out there. It's not like in the '60s, when Revolver came out and that's just it for the next year.

I have a piano and a guitar, and I tend to switch back and forth between those two instruments to help me get inspired.

I did a record with a producer, and the good producers eat up the budget, so I didn't have any budget left to produce this record. I had to produce it myself.

I'm not that in control of myself that I could be specific about exactly the way I'm doing everything as it happens. I'm just trying my best.

I like songs and film because you can turn your life into a sort of myth or dream.

The work I've done, I'm really feeling the effects of it.

Songwriting is kind of like a craft. It's not something that just comes in a dream. You've got to work at it.

I'm lucky that a lot of my friends are in the entertainment industry.

There are only really a few stories to tell in the end, and betrayal and the failure of love is one of those good stories to tell.

I try not to do anything by formula.

We live in a pretty bleak time. I feel that in the air. Everything is uncertain. Everything feels like its on the precipice of some major transformation, whether we like it or not.

Im trying to use the language of today to express a general existential crisis that I think the world and I are going through.

I've been waiting for techno to die. I was in Germany once and this guy was telling me that techno was dead, and then he proceeded to play me techno for hours.

The work which is manipulated looks a little boring to me. I think life is pretty strange anyway. It is wooo, wooo, wooo!

So the guy that we're really targeting our system at this year is one of the guys who brought a 16bit system three or four years ago and has pretty much had it with that, and he's ready to buy something new.

Grissom is pretty asexual. He's not that interested in anything other than work - except for Lady Heather. She's the closest to getting his heart of anyone.

The student body was huge at UT and you had to mature pretty quick, very quick actually. I enjoyed it and it helped me a lot in my life in general - not only in the classroom but on the baseball field as well.

It was pretty extensive - we worked out 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, for 3 months, which I think is more than anybody in the Olympics. I thought well I don't need this, the girls need it, but it was a gift.

Will Arnett is one of the funniest guys I know. He has seen it all and done it all and come out the other end pretty savvy and pretty strong.

I was pretty taken with Patti Smith, she was my heroine.

A lot of people have gotten into comedy because of certain influences in their lives or events that were painful, and I really have wracked my brain to figure it out. I pretty much have had a normal childhood. Maybe it was too normal.

When George Bush asked me to sign on, it obviously wasn't because he was worried about carrying Wyoming. We got 70 percent of the vote in Wyoming, although those three electoral votes turned out to be pretty important last time around.

In the past I've made movies that were pretty universally liked. You can't really hate them. You can discard them, but you can't really hate them.

It's pretty simple, pretty obvious: that people's first impressions of people are really a big mistake.

I felt pretty comfortable with Westerns, apart from the fact I couldn't ride.

Being the first woman speaker and breaking the marble ceiling is pretty important. Now it's time to move on.

Well, the years from 10 to 20, when your body, mind and everything is like changing every five minutes, can be pretty torturing. And most of the interesting characters, I think, are somewhat tortured or torturous. I'm 20 now, so I'm only just an adult.

You just keep feeding hogwash to people, and pretty soon they'll eat it.

Ethically, I think pretty much every code of ethics for doctors suggests that they should not be in an interrogation room, particularly if there's anything coercive or abusive going on.

I think to just single out a highlight of Elvis's career is pretty much impossible. As far as being a fan of his, a lifetime fan, there were just too many highlights.
