There are ogres and black beasts out there; you have to be constantly on guard.

Of course I could have retired anytime. But retiring would drive me crazy.

There are ogres and black beasts out there; you have to be constantly on guard.

I've got a very short attention span, and this has been part of the reason I'm so kind of dumbfounded at the fact that I've still stayed with music. Nothing has ever stuck for me, and music's the only thing that's managed to stick out for a long period of time.

I can remember when 'Pulp Fiction' came out. I was, like, 10 years old. But I remember the impact that it had.

Over the years, I had something in principle against autobiographical writing altogether because memory plays tricks on us, and we also tend to reinvent ourselves. But there comes an age when one begins to observe life, and there are things that need time to mature, also in terms of literary form.

I was a pretentious child. I grew up without a television. I read a lot of books and I loved Shakespeare. Still do.

As an editor, I have to be tactful, of course.

I'm gonna put out another album and then another album after that. And then I'm gonna put out a mixtape, and then I'm gonna put out another ten songs, and then I'm gonna put out a hundred more songs and a thousand songs after that.

Quietness is an essential part of all awareness. In quiet times and sleepy times, a child can dwell in thoughts of his own, and in songs and stories of his own.

Leaks and whispers are a daily routine of news-gathering in Washington.

Pennsylvania couldn't be prouder of our native son, Joe Biden from Scranton. No one knows us better than Joe.

Of all the waste we generate, plastic bags are perhaps the greatest symbol of our throwaway society. They are used, then forgotten, and they leave a terrible legacy.

I knew there were, in myself, the souls of millions of people who lived centuries ago; not just people but animals, plants, the elements, things, even, matter. All of these exist in me.

When you're on TV, you're looking at a half-page of material, trying to memorize it really quickly. By the time it's on TV, I've already forgotten what I said, but I can still recite my whole role from Shakespeare in the Park. It works a different set of muscles.

Its not easy to shed the idea that human life is sacred.

Good health is not something we can buy. However, it can be an extremely valuable savings account.

Whatever it is your heart desires, please go for it, it's yours to have.

The sincere alone can recognize sincerity.

There are two freedoms the false where a man is free to do what he likes the true where he is free to do what he ought.

I get people who come up to me and are like, 'You make me wanna live my dream.' I was them, so I'm like, 'Me, out of all people? No way.' Eddie Guerrero did that for me, so to have little girls and guys tell me I inspire them, I didn't know that came with the job, but it's so cool.

From the moment we were first dumped in Jamestown and had our teeth checked before getting sold off and later considered three-fifths of a human being, an abundance of 'likability' hasn't been something blacks have had to stockpile. Instead, it's been a centuries-long battle for respectability.

I haven't had an orthodox career.

One thing we should all understand is that we are brutally honest with search engines. You show me your search history, and I'll find something incriminating or something embarrassing there in five minutes. We are more honest with search engines than we are with our families.
