I always think you should push your envelope every chance you get.

All the money in the world is spent on feeling good.

No second chances in the land of a thousand dances, the valley of ten million insanities.

Bad music can make you weak.

You have to be around people you trust; otherwise you can't do anything - you're afraid, you're paranoid, and you can't do any work.

Los Angeles is not Mexico City, but we have many fine nightclubs and restaurants here. It is enough. One must not aim too high.

You're not born with certain skills; you have to acquire them.

Musicians understand each other through means other that speaking.

Beautiful tunes are all very good and fine, and great musicians are always great, but that alone isn't enough.

Musicians communicate in other ways. That's just something you rely on.

I just feel that music is a great life, because it's very rewarding. It's a gratification. You do this for yourself, and you also do this for other people.

I learned to dream through reading, learned to create dreams through writing, and learned to develop dreamers through teaching. I shall always be a dreamer.

Writers don't have bad life days

I like actors who are themselves. I know in America you like actors who change their nose or wear a lot of wigs, and they like to take pretty girls and make them super ugly.

For Lily, there was only her phantom lover, bold enough, arrogant enough, crazy enough to dare follow her here when he was in far more danger than she could ever be.

Heavy, heavy-hearted people grow lighter and rise occasionally to their surface through precisely that which makes others heavier,through hatred and love.

How many evils have flowed from religion.

The film 'Slumdog Millionaire' portrays the spirit you feel in India. For those who haven't been there, the film says it all.

Treat everyone you meet as though they are the most important person you'll meet that day.

I swear. Everyone here gets so worked up over the most minute details. ~Mayuri Kurotsuchi

Can a nation remain healthy, can all nations draw together in a world whose brightest stars are film stars?
