Behold the child by Nature's kindly law pleased with a rattle tickled with a straw.

My recollection of a hundred lovely lakes has given me blessed release from care and worry and the troubled thinking of our modern day. It has been a return to the primitive and the peaceful.

I don't need anybody to market or promote me. If people don't want to hear this music then it's not for them. You cannot please everybody.

Everything we release with Tool is inspired by our music.

I make a lot of pieces of music that I never release as CDs.

Music is like a huge release of tension.

Please write music like Wagner only louder.

Nothing pleases me more than to go into a room and come out with a piece of music.

I'm really proud of 'Moneyball.' To me it's about feeling pride in a movie I made. I think when I'm an old man I'll be able to show it to my grandkids with pride. That's all I can really go for: making movies to please me.

Music in movies is all about dissonance and consonance tension and release.

I'm glad movies aren't going to please everybody they can't. But what they have to be is recognisable. I don't equate myself with a master painter but I think you can recognise my films.

I've been involved with violent movies and then I've also said at a certain point 'I can't take it anymore. Please cut it.' You know you've got to respect the filmmaker and it's a really tough issue.

The movies have got more corporate they're making fewer movies in general and those they are making are all $200-$300m tent-pole releases that eat up all the oxygen.

Movies are not about the weekend that they're released and in the grand scheme of things that's probably the most unimportant time of a film's life.

What I had said in the morning was that this is what we know has happened but there has been no significant off-site release. Only to find out moments later that in fact there had been an off-site release. I still haven't gotten over that.

I was a very undisciplined person but acting was something that actually motivated me to get up in the morning. I hadn't experienced that before but it was something that really excited me. I think I could be quite self-conscious and it gave me a release.

The GAO just released a report that said 22 percent of federal programs fail to meet their objectives. The truth is we don't know how taxpayer money is spent in Washington D.C. which is why I think we ought to put every agency budget up on the Internet for everyone to see.

I sat with him for three hours and we did not exchange a single word. At the end he handed me as he had done before an envelope with money in it. It would have been much nicer if he had enclosed a greeting or a loving word. I would have been so pleased if he had.

As I have traveled throughout my Congressional district the one thing I heard loud and clear was simply please stop spending money you do not have rein in spending live within a budget.

It's our money and we're free to spend it any way we please.

We have the right as individuals to give away as much of our own money as we please in charity but as members of Congress we have no right to appropriate a dollar of the public money.

To tax and to please no more than to love and to be wise is not given to men.

Women and cats will do as they please and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.

Nobody could tell us or really had a very good idea if there were a massive release of radiation what kind of medical treatment people were going to need and this or that or indeed whether there would be medical personnel around.
