Def Leppard is a rock band that can sing.

I actually knew I was going to be perfect for Def Leppard, sorry I hate to say that but I knew it.

I still have people saying to me, 'Oh, you're still together?' They don't realize Leppard's been around this whole time, because people just don't get to hear us.

Def Leppard is a rock band that can sing.

I don't know how anyone could vote Republican. It's so obvious that their only interest is keeping the rich rich.

And remember: without you, all we are is loud. No pressure.

If there is any justice in the world, then eighties rock will never again serve to blight humanity as it did in that dark decade!

Being a songwriter, singer, and a great part of a unit is more important than being Joe Guitar Hero.

It's a lot more comfortable, I must say. Ummm, I didn't think I'd be playing with another band, I kinda thought I was through with that, but I make an exception because they're nice people.

I never had a real job either. I sort of fell out of school and ended up playing guitar.

I like my guitars to be kinda worn. I don't like it when they're all shiny.

I'm a big, big blues fan and the last several years I've really invested in the blues a lot, and I think my playing is getting better because of it - not necessarily better on a technical level, but certainly on a level of appropriateness.

Technology has made it much easier to make and manipulate music. Studio-driven, machine-driven music does not always transcend into being a good live act. Many current acts are great live, but many cannot cut it live. The music is not organic.

The Internet has definitely opened doors and leveled the playing field for musicians.

The nature of touring is packaging acts together that have strong catalogues of music. It's about making sure that it's a winning combination. It's really about giving people value for their money.

I haven't done a lot of things in my career that my kids can watch, because they are 8, 6 and 3, and they are pretty young; so given the concepts that the film was about a superhero, it was a black superhero, and it was a father and son type partnership.

I am much more interested in the process than results.

We play many emotions in our careers, emotions that in real life we would perform just once. For example, my character has died in about 10 films, so you have to keep searching for different ways to do it!

I work with The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University. I sit proudly as one of only two recovering addicts on their board.

I'm, like, a binge gamer.

Suddenly, you are very much in the present, and you learn it's really the place where you should always live.

Their houses are all built in the shape of tents, with very high chimneys.

I've had fans and friends in the business say, 'Oh man, you've made it.' I still don't feel like I've made it. I still feel like I'm as good as my last show, as good as my last single.

I've done a few things on the side here and there, but there is not much reason to do so in a sustained way. I'm generally able to say what I want to say within the context of Weezer.

I love being in the studio, and I am a huge fan of live music. Without writing good stuff in the studio, you have nothing to play live.

As a filmmaker, you want nothing more than to have people say, 'I love your movie.'

I love faltering. I love, in a sense, coming up short. Because you learn nothing from success. You learn so much from failing.

I definitely believe there is more than what can be seen. I don't know if it's anything that you'd consider omens or signs, but yes... I believe in something more.

I have my aluminum siding business, and that's going like a house afire.

My dream was, and always had been, to write a book. To be a writer.

The fight ended. For both was victory. For both there was defeat.

Younger anthropologists have the notion that anthropology is too diverse. The number of things done under the name of anthropology is just infinite; you can do anything and call it anthropology.

Ultimately, it's a pretty confusing moment.

The practice of medicine is a thinker's art the practice of surgery a plumber's.

As so often before, liberty has been wounded in the house of its friends.

A man is not complete until he has seen the baby he has made.

There are numerous cases of that, where one of our writers discovers another writer whom he likes, and we then take that book on. So it's a very close relationship. We can do that because we're so small.

My style is pretty clean, classic, and elegant, with some elements to make it a little funkier. If you see me on a normal day, I'm usually in a T-shirt and jeans, maybe with some cool sneakers, but I'm pretty basic.

Freedom isn't free. It shouldn't be a bragging point that 'Oh, I don't get involved in politics,' as if that makes someone cleaner. No, that makes you derelict of duty in a republic. Liars and panderers in government would have a much harder time of it if so many people didn't insist on their right to remain ignorant and blindly agreeable.
