I was 11 or 12 years old when I first saw 'Reservoir Dogs.' I remember after I saw that film, I kept renting it from the video store because I wanted all of my friends to see it.

I really enjoy doing films, but I also love television. I certainly would not be against doing some regular television work and being on a show that runs several years.

I was a stand-up comedian for 10 years, if you can believe it. And I gave it up at age 22.

I did stand-up for a good number of years while I was still living in New York, and those people primarily knew me as 'the kid stand-up.'

I'm not a tall man. I'm just a hair under 5'5.

If we can't turn the world around we can at least bolster the victims.

Every kind of fortune is to be overcome by bearing it.

We play our Irish songs a bit more loosely.

The function of art is to make that understood which in the form of argument would be incomprehensible.

You cant write about stuff you dont know about. You have to live it. You have to roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty. Live life to be a good songwriter.

Got your mind set on a dream, you can get it though how hard it may seem.

My ambition was to be a record producer, and I had started doing that in the late '60s with my work with the MC5 and my friend Livingston Taylor.

Love the people that wanna see you be successful and help you expecting nothing in return. That’s priceless. Those are real friends.
