Well I think everybody is frustrated by the finances of the U.N. and the inability to solve problems of war and peace.

Endurance is patience concentrated.

Nature makes boys and girls lovely to look upon so they can be tolerated until they acquire some sense.

We are a people that have always celebrated other people's success so long as we always had the opportunity to meet that success ourselves. That is the American nature. That is the American character. That is one of the things that makes us different from the rest of the world. And I'm afraid we could lose that or are on the verge of losing that.

Man has demonstrated that he is master of everything except his own nature.

If not for music I would probably be a very frustrated scientist. It's one way to answer the question 'What is the meaning of life?' I feel music answers it better.

There's a lot of music that sounds like it's literally computer-generated totally divorced from a guy sitting down at an instrument.

The only problem is I can't get into PG-13 Land. I just get stuck in R rated movies which they would love us to make PG-13 movies but I never get there. But I think that you've got to make them different. You've got to switch them up.

I've seen little pieces of 'Interview with a Vampire' when it was on TV but I kind of always go yuck! I don't watch R-rated movies so that really cuts down on a lot of the horror.

I remember being a kid and sleeping over at my friend's house and staying up late and watching 'Nosferatu.' Vampire movies are supposed to be secret and bad. They should be rated R.
