"Something lurked inside the truth."

-- Don DeLillo

“You've got to get good habits of working hard so that when that play comes up during the regular season that you're able to complete it and do it the right way.”
“I cannot help fearing that men may reach a point where they look on every new theory as a danger, every innovation as a toilsome trouble, every social advance as a first step toward revolution, and that they may absolutely refuse to move at all.”
“As an English actress constantly playing Americans, you already had to step way out of your box in that way.”
“Self-deceitâ€”Itâ€™s in the â€œNine Satanic Statementsâ€ but deserves to be repeated here. Another cardinal sin. We must not pay homage to any of the sacred cows presented to us, including the roles we are expected to play ourselves. The only time self-deceit should be entered into is when itâ€™s fun, and with awareness. But then, itâ€™s not self-deceit!”
“I still play the same kit that I used on the very first album. It's an old Tama Superstar that I bought in 1983.”
“Examples of selling of ideas are portrayed in consulting or paid advice, as the pricing of intellectual property is market driven.”
“When you make a record, you probably are not going to hit exactly what you were aiming for. You also have to let go at a certain point, and just trust it. I remember feeling we had fallen short, or that it had fallen short. At the same time it was great to see a good critical reaction to it, and to hear people were enjoying it, which made me think, "Well, maybe it's a good thing I didn't get exactly what I wanted." Now we're testing that theory.”
