Work can take on a new dimension if you know something about the artist.

I've always been really curious about things and slightly confused by the world, and I think someone who feels that way is in a good position to be the one asking questions.

I am literally smaller than life. I am an unextraordinary-looking person. I've seen people trying to hide their disappointment when they meet me, and I have to watch them get over it.

Most people I know that have work that is very meaningful to them pay the price of having to work all the time.

I think the interview form works best on the radio. There are a lot of personality traits conveyed in a person's voice, the rhythm of their speech or how confident they sound.

Often real life is boring and problematic. I love the edited version of it.

I think in particularly with young kids who don't have a lot of positive influences, pop culture almost becomes a larger part of that self-discovery and how you define yourself.

I love songs. Songs are my favorite things.

Many artists use their own lives as a kind of case study to examine what it's like to be human.

Damn it, how will I ever get out of this labyrinth?

Appreciate and value your time because this is the key to success

If you were buying products or going to movies based upon the politics of the people involved, well I probably couldn't go to half the movies I go to.

You can always think of something like the Xbox 360 as a super set-top box that can do everything the set-top box does, but then have the graphics to do the games as well.

I grew up in a slum neighborhood - rows of tenements, with stoops, and kids all over the street. It was a real neighborhood - we played kick-the-can and ring-a-levio.

It's official, Arnold said he will enter the race for governor. At least that's what everybody thinks he said.

There's more B.S. in fly fishing than there is in a Kansas feedlot.

I think beauty is youth; it's energy. I'm attracted to imperfection, style, confidence, and experimentation. So beauty, to me, is really a lot of things. It's kind of unexpected-what surprises you.

When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.

Love is the crowning grace of humanity.
