Music was your real passion, this thing you held dear even above family. It was this relationship that never betrayed you. Once it became your job - this thing that was highly visible, this thing that became about commerce - that's when you were holding onto music like it was a palm tree in a hurricane.

Rest in peace. The Mistake shall not be repeated.

William Shakespeare

As a child, I had to get up early for school or work. I'd get ready by myself. I'd set my alarm to wake me up very early in the morning, and be off to work, the family driver driving me every morning. I did it alone, my parents never coming in to wake me up.

Janet Jackson

Abraham Lincoln

I'm a video game fan, and I always thought it would be cool to be able to control a character.

A movie like House of the Dead with around $7 million budget or Alone in the Dark with around $16 million budget are much easier to make profit than the typical $50 million major motion picture.

Uwe Boll

I'm a big laser believer - I really think they are the wave of the future.

Courteney Cox
