People Quotes

It just annoyed me that people got so into the Beatles. 'Beatles, Beatles, Beatles.' It's not that I don't like talking about them. I've never stopped talking about them. It's 'Beatles this, Beatles that, Beatles, Beatles, Beatles, Beatles.' Then in the end, it's like 'Oh, sod off with the Beatles,' you know?

What would be the nicest thing I could say about Newt Gingrich?

I know that often times a lot of people who work in music, whether they be labels and so on or even artists, want personal recognition. We want to be recognized for something, for what we did.

'The Machinist' changed me. I learned that I really enjoy, literally, not saying a damned word for days at a time, except for what was in the scene. Whole days of... nothing. Just... standing still.
