My energies get used up quite quickly, and the psychic space I’m in when I write is a very lonely one, so I found that harder and harder to get back to.

Sculpture is like farming. If you just keep at it, you can get quite a lot done.

I know a couple of my friends – quite a few – there is a conservative movement in Hollywood, and we kind of stay amongst ourselves.

For me, making films is about trying to work something out by myself in quite a lonely way. I find the whole thing very lonely really.

Motherhood to me is something that I always wanted, but never quite knew how it was going to happen.

There is a deliberate and quite outspoken attack on the whole idea of people owning private property.

I don’t know what it is, exactly, but there’s a negative drag on film sets after the second week or so, a mutinous vibe because the infinite capacities of the directors and everybody else become...

I am, to be quite honest, sick of hero stories.

I’ve got quite a good brain and all that, which I’ve never had to use in singing at all.

It’s quite different, the kind of love you get in a smaller club and the kind of love you get on a big proscenium stage. It’s quite different. I like both of them, but I’m...

Let me tell you quite bluntly that this king business has given me personally nothing but headaches.

I was quite a reader before I became a writer.

I’m not a massive fan of 3D. I’ve seen some good 3D, and I’ve seen quite a lot of bad 3D. I think if a film is created for the shock effect of 3D, then...

I have met a couple of six-year-olds who were apparently quite excited to meet me – before they actually met me. And when they actually met me they ran behind their parents’ legs and cowered...

I was very young when I saw ‘Gone With the Wind,’ but I fell in love with Clark Gable. And when I got to work with him, I couldn’t believe it. I still had a...

It’s important to celebrate the monogram. It’s the DNA of Vuitton. I think – I hope – there is an interest in the philosophy and culture of the Vuitton name. It’s quite coherent and intellectual,...

In fact it’s quite gratifying for me to see some of the people who really objected to this method of working now being quite so profligate in their use of it.

I think if I ever stopped pushing myself, I would revert quickly to quite repetitive, restrictive behaviour. But in pushing myself and concentrating on what I can do, I think I can contribute to society....

I do heavy weights in the morning for about an hour, and then I do 45 minutes of higher-volume lifting in the afternoon. My least favorite is the legs… I do quite a few chin-ups...

It’s quite nice to see that I didn’t have to change who I was to reach two very different types of people.

And eventually as I kept writing it, something emerged that was not quite me but a version of me.

Actors ought to be larger than life. You come across quite enough ordinary, nondescript people in daily life and I don’t see why you should be subjected to them on the stage too.

I know quite a few eco designers who build dresses out of old couture gowns. They disassemble, ‘upcycle,’ and reuse them in extraordinary ways. To me, that’s a sustainable way of doing things.

No tendency is quite so strong in human nature as the desire to lay down rules of conduct for other people.

I get painted quite a bit as a tragic figure because of some of the stuff that’s happened in my life.

I am quite loud and bolshie. I’m a big personality. I walk into a room, big and tall and loud.

When we began Qualcomm, it had become quite clear that it was very important to patent new ideas.

If our extinction proceeds slowly enough to allow a moment of horrified realization, the doers of the deed will likely be quite taken aback on realizing that they have actually destroyed the world. Therefore I...

I have to exfoliate my lips as they’re quite a large surface area and sometimes when I wear lipstick, it goes all cakey. So I mix brown sugar with lip balm and just scrub it...

Thanks to the success of Henning Mankell and Peter Hoeg, there wasn’t the same stigma attached to writing genre thrillers in Scandinavia as there was in many other cultures. Quite the opposite, in fact.

I don’t seek discomfort. But, very often, you realise that what you fear is actually quite ephemeral; something’s different, something’s unfamiliar; therefore, it must be worse.

I feel quite excited about the possibility of working on multiple albums. There’s something really iconic about having a catalog featuring a lot of albums, and I’d love to have that legacy.

With stand-up you’ve just got that one chance. Audiences can be quite fickle.

I’m quite repulsed by the diva type.

Basically, people in other countries don’t want to have to work quite as flat-out as they do in Japan.

I always get quite close to my script because I work quite hard on them.

I’m not sure I’m quite ready to have someone be a prospector of jobs for me, because I believe there’s some kind of destiny involved with meeting people… some things are just meant to happen.

In the beginning, I thought it would be really glamorous, working in fashion. But it’s actually quite hard. You don’t even know half the stuff that goes on backstage.

I’ve been doing a lot of music for films and television for quite a few years.

When I was teeny tiny, I definitely had a voice that didn’t quite match the way I looked at five.

Parliament must not be told a direct untruth, but it’s quite possible to allow them to mislead themselves.

I got into reading a lot of noir and a lot of thrillers as well, and I really admired the plotting about those and the way that they can surprise you. And obviously to surprise...

and then what happened?- I asked him, but I had no desire to know. Whatever it was, it has to be ugly.

My work is made on lines similar to those of a film production. A lot of my work is kind of bureaucratic, endlessly phoning up people, trying to find the cameraman and the lighting man,...

Scripture is the thing I like to share with people more than anything. My prayer reality is quite kooky. I have this very unique dialogue with the Lord. I utilize my own sort of street...

It was not pre-arranged. It just happened that the driver made a demand and I just didn’t feel like obeying his demand. I was quite tired after spending a full day working.

Liberal capitalism is not at all the Good of humanity. Quite the contrary; it is the vehicle of savage, destructive nihilism.

Of course I want to take the last shot, let’s be quite frank: I’ve been doing for nine years already, and I’ve made a ton of them.

I find going back through things sometimes exhilarating because I find things I didn’t know I had, and sometimes it’s very off putting because there are things I never quite finished, and there’s nothing at...

So I’m not really quite sure what Landis’ plans were to make another one. The American Werewolf in Paris was a completely separate story.
