I'm 53. I don't care about high school students. I find them irritating and uninformed.

Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once and it's too much. My heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst.

I felt pride, wonderful pride, when I was captain. It was an honour to take over from Labby. Anybody who has ever captained a big club, which Everton are, will tell you it's a great honour.

Directing is physically exciting because there's a ticking clock, you're working with people, it's very social, it's very enjoyable.

Once Everton has touched you, nothing will be the same.

We live in a time where there's an alienation factor. There's a certain disconnection. We don't have any real sense of community anymore.

It's a great thing when you realize you still have the ability to surprise yourself. Makes you wonder what else you can do that you've forgotten about.

I would say try to tell stories that you care about as opposed to stories that you think will sell.

Don't look at your feet to see if you are doing it right. Just dance.

Don't be afraid in nature: one must be bold, at the risk of having been deceived and making mistakes.

I was born when my dad was 50... It's weird growing up with a dad that much older than you. We'd go to the movies, we're both getting discounts.

Without context, things are not scary. Without context, like humor, horror doesn't work.

Physical hunger and physical poverty is something I could only imagine. I've been poor when I was in China... As kids we never had to starve, but just didn't have enough meat, enough rice.

I like the idea of quietly putting music out there and seeing what it does for itself, to let it take it's own life and see if people respond to it, simply because of what it is.

He had 'deep concerns' with the pathway to citizenship for the nation's 11 million illegal immigrants under consideration by the group, calling it 'profoundly unfair' to legal immigrants.
