"Rap is poetry set to music. But to me it's like a jackhammer."

-- Bette Midler

“The Freudian theory is one of the most important foundation stones for an edifice to be built by future generations, the dwelling of a freer and wiser humanity.”
“If you cry because the sun has gone out of your life, your tears will prevent you from seeing the stars.”
“Arrogance is a veneer -- a thin covering of excuses hiding deep performance deficiencies.”
“I would say, 'Go ask any couple that's been married for 30, 40, 50 years... It hasn't always been roses.'”
“Everything I've made - it doesn't mean they've all been good - but everything I've made so far, big or little, fiction or documentary, has been something that I've been really enthusiastic about.”

“I remember it all: every word, every breath, every tick of the clock . . . everything that happened is with me forever. I can never forget it. But that dosen't mean I can live it again. You can't live what's gone, you can only remember it, and memories have no life. They're just pale reminders of a time that's gone - like faded photographs, or a dried-up daisy chain at the back of a drawer. They have no substance. They can't take you back. Nothing can take you back. Nothing can be the same as it was. Nothing is. All I can do is tell it.”
“poetry is where the language is renewed.”
“If you didn't have patents, no one would bother to spend money on research and development. But with patents, if someone has a good idea and a competitor can't copy it, then that competitor will have to think of their own way of doing it. So then, instead of just one innovator, you have two or three people trying to do something in a new way.”
