There is only one thing I respect in so-called Broadway actors... and that is their competitive sense.

There is in us a lyric germ or nucleus which deserves respect it bids a man to ponder or create and in this dim corner of himself he can take refuge and find consolations which the society of his fellow creatures does not provide.

We've become much more casual and much more relaxed in social interactions where there was a formality and maybe a kind of respect at that time that doesn't exist now.

Yes I have made a lot of money and I have a lot of respect my films have done well and I know there are loads of loads of people who look up to me and really love me. I really just thought this is like a strange dream. I have never thought this is a success - I don't have a standard.

There is no excuse for perjury - never never never. There is truth and the truth demands respect.

Plus you know when I was young there was a lot of respect for clowning in rock music - look at Little Richard. It was a part of the whole thing and I always also believed that it released the audience.

There are so many things to think about when you make an album. Like who am I trying to impress? Am I going to get respect critical acclaim? Or am I going to sell lots of records?

There is so much work to be done to treat gays and lesbians and gay and lesbian couples with the respect that they're entitled to. They deserve in my judgment partnership benefits. They deserve to be treated fairly when it comes to adoption and immigration.

If we were all determined to play the first violin we should never have an ensemble. therefore respect every musician in his proper place.

I have no problem going on record with this and probably have gone on record with this before there aren't that many people who I respect. There just aren't.
