Mother Nature comes up against reality and the reality is that the system doesn't work.

My music fights against the system that teaches to live and die.

I was at the end of the studio system so when I walked into movies I had a magnificent suite in which I had a living room and a kitchen and a complete makeup room. I had everything just for me. With the independents you're kind of roughing it literally.

I never think it's right to chew gum in front of other people but a lot of times I'll come in for a meeting chewing gum and I'll forget I'm chewing it. Then you don't want to swallow it because it stays in your system for seven years or something so I've asked to throw it away. I've started to wonder if that's why I didn't get certain movies.

I'm not a Hollywood basher because enough good movies come out of the Hollywood system every year to justify its existence without any apologies.

Our systems are all go. At 9:30 Monday morning trading will resume on both markets and the message will be given to criminals who foisted this on America that they lost.

Big money is ruining the political system.

Our public school system is our country's biggest and most inefficient monopoly yet it keeps demanding more and more money.

I never viewed money as being 'my money' I always saw it as 'the money.' It's a resource. If it pools up around me then it needs to be flushed back out into the system.
