I was lucky enough to see with my own eyes the recent stock-market crash, where they lost several million dollars, a rabble of dead money that went sliding off into the sea. Never as then, amid suicides, hysteria, and groups of fainting people, have I felt the sensation of real death, death without hope, death that is nothing but rottenness, for the spectacle was terrifying but devoid of greatness... I felt something like a divine urge to bombard that whole canyon of shadow, where ambulances collected suicides whose hands were full of rings.

I'm hurt, hurt and humiliated beyond endurance, seeing the wheat ripening, the fountains never ceasing to give water, the sheep bearing hundreds of lambs, the she-dogs, until it seems the whole country rises to show me its tender sleeping young while I feel two hammer-blows here instead of the mouth of my child.

And there's a lot of that stuff with people bringing their kids, kids bringing their parents, people bringing their grandparents - I mean, it's gotten to be really stretched out now. It was never my intention to say, this is the demographics of our audience.

Becoming a producer enables you to empower yourself, to make the film that you want to make. I have desires to make movies - I have movies I'm developing, and things that I'm interested in.

I don't know if it's how I speak or what it is about me that presents that sort of label, but I don't know how many times I have to be out in public with a girlfriend to stop that from being said.

I'm not trying to clock scores in this lifetime, it's just that things are better now than they were like five, ten years ago. Music has gotten a lot better. There's a lot of people who are committed to - soulfully.

...they no longer felt like newlyweds, and even less like belated lovers. It was as if they had lept over the arduous calvary of conjugal life and gone straight to the heart of love. They were together in silence like an old married couple wary of life, beyond the pitfalls of passion, beyond the brutal mockery of hope and the phantoms of disillusion: beyond love. For they had lived together long enough to know that love was always love, anytime and anyplace, but it was more solid the closer it came to death.

They say a lot of women would like to see me naked, but there's not a lens long enough for that.

Once in a while you get shown the light in the stangest of places if you look at it right.
|
It's pretty clear now that what looked like it might have been some kind of counterculture is, in reality, just the plain old chaos of undifferentiated weirdness.
|
I'm shopping around for something to do that no one will like.
|
A whole community starts on that road to fully realizing its own American citizenship or its rights as full-fledged Americans. In that sense they really are the catalysts for the (Latino) civil rights movement.

Every silver lining has a touch of grey.

The heart's memory eliminates the bad and magnifies the good.

I have all the patience in the world about Sirens. For me it's not a Grateful Dead project, it's a Me project.

Somebody has to do something, and it's just incredibly pathetic that it has to be us.
|
The problem with marriage is that it ends every night after making love, and it must be rebuilt every morning before breakfast.
|
What we do is as American as lynch mobs. America has always been a complex place.
|
America is still mostly xenophobic and racist. That's the nature of America, I think.

The truth will set you free.
|
You do not merely want to be considered the best of the best. You want to be considered the only ones that do what you do.
|
I just tried to learn his moves. And after I did that, I just took it from there. I figured I was getting him with (the left) so I was just sticking with that.
|
What's been great about the human race gives you a sense of how great you might get, how far you can reach.

An early-rising man... a good spouse but a bad husband.

Obviously, they wouldn't have had that run (in the second quarter) with Audra in there, but to get other girls contributing is what we want to do. The girls always seem to get better toward the end of the year, anyway.

A person doesn't die when he should but when he can.

Families, particularly, tend to be the ones that you take the most for granted. They seem to slip under the radar, all those important things - it almost becomes second nature to do so.

A man knows when he is growing old because he begins to look like his father.
