I stone got crazy when I saw somebody run down them strings with a bottleneck. My eyes lit up like a Christmas tree and I said that I had to learn.

I'm just an individual who doesn't feel that I need to have somebody qualify my work in any particular way. I'm working for me.

Executive ability is deciding quickly and getting somebody else to do the work.

Don't ever ever believe anyone who tells you that you can just get by by doing the easiest thing possible. Because there's always somebody behind you who really wants to do what you're doing. And they're going to work harder than you if you're not working hard.

Never follow somebody else's path it doesn't work the same way twice for anyone... the path follows you and rolls up behind you as you walk forcing the next person to find their own way.

Men are going to go out on the road and they're going to find other women. So if you really want to save yourself a whole lot of heartache do not fall in love with somebody in a band. Just don't.

I just love bossy women. I could be around them all day. To me bossy is not a pejorative term at all. It means somebody's passionate and engaged and ambitious and doesn't mind leading.

There's very little advice in men's magazines because men don't think there's a lot they don't know. Women do. Women want to learn. Men think 'I know what I'm doing just show me somebody naked.'

Elections are won by men and women chiefly because most people vote against somebody rather than for somebody.

One time when somebody showed up in a wedding dress but I never knew if it was a joke or she was serious. She asked me to marry her. She was serious. It was pretty funny.

When I was growing up it was 'Communists'. Now it's 'Terrorists'. So you always have to have somebody to fight and be afraid of so the war machine can build more bombs guns and bullets and everything.

I can tell you this: If I'm ever in a position to call the shots I'm not going to rush to send somebody else's kids into a war.

Another term for preventive war is aggressive war - starting wars because someday somebody might do something to us. That is not part of the American tradition.

To me horror is when I see somebody lying. I mean a person I know. A friend. And he's telling me something that I accept. And then suddenly as he or she is telling it there's something that gives them away. They're not telling me the truth.

I preach there are all kinds of truth your truth and somebody else's. But behind all of them there is only one truth and that is that there's no truth.

It's the same old story you've heard a thousand times. Somebody's trust gets broken. Somebody's left behind.

I was telling somebody just the other day there's technically such a hierarchy in this business. You have film that's the ideal then you have TV and things like web series do not claim as much cred but the fact is if the material is solid and I believe and trust in the team that's involved I don't care what format it is.

Don't trust somebody that don't have a troubled period.

It's probably a bit of a power trip when you befriend somebody enough that they trust you to tell you things.

We've not had one Republican president in 34 years balance the budget. You can't trust right-wing Republicans with your money. You ought to hire somebody who has balanced a budget. I'm much more conservative with money than George Bush is.

Who can I trust? You have to invest in somebody and chances are you're probably going to invest in somebody who's going to deceive you. I've been conned a couple of times but now I'm a little more savvy.

It's a very brave thing to fall in love. You have to be willing to trust somebody else with your whole being and that's very difficult really difficult and very brave.

It's a delight to trust somebody so completely.

You have to first be a writer and somebody who loves to write. If I couldn't travel I would still write.
