In terms of perceptions of the culture, most people don't think about music. They're not concerned with it. They don't take their musical legacy seriously.

Everyone's a singer now, thanks to karaoke, for better and for much worse. But the live band is now becoming ancient history in Thailand, Cambodia, and Burma.

I've had to adjust to karaoke as a modern reality that obscures our hunt for what we're truly after.

There hasn't been a true breakdown or effort to break Thai music into genres. They're not into dicing and slicing everything up.

Old is unwanted. You don't find Thais going to the thrift store. They want new clothes. They want the newest cell phone.

Some men don't gel when it comes to work - you have different work ethics, different opinions, different points of views, different methods of filmmaking - and we didn't gel.

You've probably noticed already that I'm dressed like a grown-up... I apologize to the Academy, and I promise that I will never do it again.

I've never learned to drive because I get lots of ideas when I'm a passenger in a car. I love to get in a car with a driver and just think and work things out.

Public schools are the nurseries of all vice and immorality.

Nothing quite brings out the zest for life in a person like the thought of their impending death.

I tired the back door -- unlocked. Truley the Man Upstairs was smiling down on me.

It's hard to say if the NBA is hurt by the influx of younger players, but it's definitely impacted the league.

People think a big camera and big lighting will make art, and I want to break that rule. If you have a great concept, it can be art.

I want to score goals in every match, as many as possible.
