Music's been around a long time, and there's going to be music long after Ray Charles is dead. I just want to make my mark, leave something musically good behind. If it's a big record, that's the frosting on the cake, but music's the main meal.

I'll probably pursue doing more movies, but not horror or movies with killers in them. I'll try to stick to happy movies. I want to act and direct like Jodie Foster. I admire her because she went to college and she's still doing the same thing.

Let us my friends snatch our opportunity from the passing day.

Horace

Mark Twain

It is my mood which decides the weather, it is my mood which brings the tiny changes to humankind.

Valor consists in the power of self recovery.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

So many tangles in life are ultimately hopeless that we have no appropriate sword other than laughter.

Gordon W. Allport

It goes with a courageous intent to greet the universe as it really is, not to foist our emotional predispositions on it but to courageously accept what our explorations tell us.

Carl Sagan

Decorate your home. It gives the illusion that your life is more interesting than it really is.

Charles M. Schulz

Let every man judge according to his own standards, by what he has himself read, not by what others tell him.

Albert Einstein

Difficulty, my brethren, is the nurse of greatness - a harsh nurse, who roughly rocks her foster - children into strength and athletic proportion.

William C. Bryant

My way of joking is to tell the truth. It's the funniest joke in the world.

George Bernard Shaw

The last time that I consciously wrote anything to 'save the honor of the Left', as I rather pompously put it, was my little book on the crookedness and cowardice and corruption (to put it no higher) of Clinton. I used leftist categories to measure him, in other words, and to show how idiotic was the belief that he was a liberal's champion. Again, more leftists than you might think were on my side or in my corner, and the book was published by Verso, which is the publishing arm of the . However, if a near-majority of leftists and liberals choose to think that Clinton was the target of a witch-hunt and the victim of 'sexual McCarthyism', an Arkansan Alger Hiss in other words, you become weary of debating on their terms and leave them to make the best of it.
