I wasn't always this introverted.

I wasn't always this introverted.

I'd like to be rich. I'd like a lot of money to put into my physicals and to buy food for all my friends.

Have you seen the roses? There's a whole lot of colours.

The only work I've done the last two years is interviews. I'm very good at it.

Living in Cambridge, with nature and everything, it's so clean.

I'm disappearing, avoiding most things.

I don't really read a lot. Maybe I should.

I've just had an operation, but nothing too serious.

I'm treading the backward path. Mostly, I just waste my time.

If I'd stayed at college I would have become a teacher.

It's always been too slow for me. Playing. The pace of things. I'm a fast sprinter. The trouble was, after playing in the group for a few months, I couldn't reach that point.

Getting used to the studio and everything was fun, we freaked about alot. I was working very hard then.

I like songs that are simple.

When we parted I had written everything for the group. My leaving sort of evened things out within the group.

I do tend to take lines from other lines I like, and then write around them.

I don't think I'm easy to talk about. I've got a very irregular head. And I'm not anything that you think I am anyway.

I never felt so close to a guitar as that silver one with mirrors that I used on stage all the time.

I think young people should have a lot of fun. But I never seem to have any.

Fairy-tales are nice.

A lot of people want to make films and do photography and things, but I'm quite happy doing what I'm doing.

I think it's good if a song has more than one meaning. Maybe that kind of song can reach far more people.

I'm full of dust and guitars.

I'm sorry I can't speak very coherently.

The eating of meat extinguishes the seed of Great Kindness.

I'm not one that really soaks up the limelight. I'm OK with kind of escaping it.

New developments in weapon systems during the 1950s and early 1960s created a situation that was most dangerous, and even conducive to accidental war.

You have to be respectful of pop culture, because people interpret it in the way they want.

I'm really an actor first. I'd love to do more straight plays.

The single most important thing we can do to protect our communities from climate change is to reduce dangerous carbon pollution.

I don't like getting dressed up. It's hard because as a woman, as an actor, the whole world wants you to enjoy dressing up.

I've always said, since I got to know him and wrote about him, that he's the generation he least appeals to is his own and I think in many ways he was born middle-aged and that's become apparent in recent years.

I've been through some very difficult stages in my life, but I wouldn't change anything.

I think we have to be fair in saying at this point that neither Roosevelt nor Lewis realized the peril to which they were exposing both the unions and the country.

I think if I had been writing fiction, where the work is entirely dependent on the writer's creativity and the potential directions the narrative might take are infinite, I might have frozen.

The key to good decision making is evaluating the available information - the data - and combining it with your own estimates of pluses and minuses. As an economist, I do this every day.

We're news junkies in my house.

Every time I get a script it's a matter of trying to know what I could do with it. I see colors, imagery. It has to have a smell. It's like falling in love. You can't give a reason why.

I would say if I was any type of nerd, it was probably a band nerd.

Not having insurance not only destroys your life, it destroys your fiscal life. It breaks up marriages. You cannot functions anywhere unless you have good health.

Find the good. It's all around you. Find it, showcase it and you'll start believing it.

I don't have a story about an epiphany in which I suddenly realised I wanted to be an actor. It was much more a case of the idea dawning on me gradually.

The little may contrast with the great, in painting, but cannot be said to be contrary to it. Oppositions of colors contrast; but there are also colors contrary to each other, that is, which produce an ill effect because they shock the eye when brought very near it.

My only model for being a father was my father, an illiterate on the margin of society.

Life expectancy in many parts of Africa can be something around the age of thirty five to thirty eight. I mean you're very fortunate if you live to that age. In fact when I went to Uganda for the first time one of the things that occurred to me was that I saw very few elderly people.

I could never accept findings based almost exclusively on mathematics. It ain't ignorance that causes all the trouble in this world. It's the things people know that ain't so.

Skin is really important; after all, it's my business.

Success means making profits and avoiding losses.
