'The Great Gatsby' is a book I have read a few times, and it seems to get heavier every time I come to visit.
-
If there is one set of laws, one Constitution for every citizen, its protections hopefully applied equally to all, then why do the results seem to differ so radically? What do you call that? Look around - you're living in it.
-
It's hard to get people at a record company to talk about music. They don't seem to want to talk about music, it's all marketing, and that's part of a record, you gotta get it out there, people have gotta hear it, but you could do it in a way that's not repulsive.
-
I’m packed with broken glass and memories and it all hurts.
-
So, one way or another, I found myself in a few movies. I take it seriously when I'm on the set, but I don't take myself seriously as an actor.
-
Mr. Christ, I read you as an infinitely patient entity who, as they say, often works in mysterious ways, a rebel unafraid to take the tougher, less traveled paths. Seems to me you're playing the long game. Is that why more states are coming out in favor of marriage equality? Is that why the Affordable Care Act is now with us?
-
I need to do things on my own, need to be left alone.
-
I come from a town of great musicians: Washington, D.C. It's no joke, that history.
-
An appreciation of animals is good for a human, it can lead to a better understanding and respect for all living things.
-
I don't mind The Boss. I think he's an honest guy. I have some of his records, not all of them. I've met a couple of the E-Street guys, and they seem really cool.

Anywhere you hang yourself is home.
-
Keep your blood clean, your body lean, and your mind sharp.
-
I have built my life to pursue the new. I don't have family, don't know many people and I am usually ready to leave within an hour.
-
Spring and fall, those are very inspiring times of the year for me.
-
There is not one single police officer in America that I am not afraid of and not one that I would trust to tell the truth or obey the laws they are sworn to uphold. I do not believe they protect me in any way.
-
Travelling as extensively as I do... the take away for me has made me very humble and very sympathetic to other people's plight in the world and very desirous of being proactive in being part of a solution somehow and not part of a problem. It's made me very patient and very grateful for where I live.
-
I have no pride about anything I have done. It's just not the way I think about things. I do the work, always, as hard as I can, to the point of pain, injury, exhaustion, if that is what it takes. Once I am done, I move on.
-
I really like older writers, perhaps because they take me out of my element. I don't have a great deal of interest in reading a fictionalized present as it's pretty insane as it is.
-
No matter how rough things can be at times, many Americans are optimistic and on the move.
-
The Bad Seeds are a band I will travel a great distance to see whenever possible.
-
If the truth is told how I want to be remembered... as someone who cared. Someone who worked really hard and someone who didn't sit around.
-
It's easy for me to play bad guys because it's a very linear acting. Bad guys aren't empathetic. Being a bad guy is great because you're not friendly and you don't have to do much with your face.
-
Without the blues, modern music would be nothing like it is now - not remotely.
-
Try driving the streets of Los Angeles without seeing a billboard depicting a film with a lead actor holding a gun. It's almost as if guns are harmless props used to bring out the cheekbones and jawline of the screen star.
