This ought to be a season for cooperation in terms of pushing our economy forward, job creation, steadying the middle class, and laying the groundwork for a better future. And that's what we want to work on with Republicans and Democrats.
I was always taught, even as a kid, playing against grown men, you get better.
Me holding a grudge is not going to help me. It's not going to make me any better.
There are no secrets better kept than the secrets everybody guesses.
Now, I'm so relaxed that I have to make myself nervous. I feel better when I'm second and third guessing myself over everything. I play with the mice in my head, all the time.
I don't labour over my lead guitar solos; they're better just caught in the moment.
Certainly being proficient in an instrument does have its problems. Because the better you get, the more you just start sounding like an ordinary guitarist. There are certainly guitarists that transcend that and do really find their sound and all that sort of stuff.
America is a country founded on guns. It's in our DNA. It's very strange but I feel better having a gun. I really do. I don't feel safe, I don't feel the house is completely safe, if I don't have one hidden somewhere. That's my thinking, right or wrong.
It might be argued that genuine spontaneity is not really possible or desirable so long as printed scores of great works exist. All modern musicians are, for better or worse, prisoners of Gutenberg.
I'm not a big Hollywood guy. I don't know how the machine works. I leave that to people better than myself.
I like to hit the gym early in the morning. I feel better throughout the day when I get in a workout first thing in the morning.
Hunted for sport by the rich, then driven from large tracts of its natural habitat by agricultural and housing development, the giant panda deserves better than to be scrubbed from conservation's ledger books through false accounting.
It always seemed much better to be a writer - a Real Writer - than a successful hack.
I was fascinated with the phone system and how it worked; I became a hacker to get better control over the phone company.
When the glam metal thing of the late '80s became too glammy, then instead of having two bottles of hairspray in your hair, it became better not to wash your hair at all. To me it's all trend stuff. I don't follow that stuff. I just do what I feel is the right thing. I don't know what the reason is for that. It's not fashion.
The Dreamcast version of 'Half-Life' is great - it looks better than the original PC version and it's the only way console owners can enjoy 'Half-Life: Blue Shift.'
Obviously I'm delighted I'm a grandfather, but I guess it takes a little while to digest. You start thinking, 'Oh, I'm half-way over the natural life span. So this is the last bit, and I'd better enjoy it.'
I believe that a bad Super Bowl halftime show is still better than a soccer game.
We make music for a living. Like I've always said, if you like what you're doing, you're halfway there; if someone else likes it, that's even better. If they don't like it, at least you like it. Not to be selfish, but you kind of have to be.
I had a much better view with the halo than I expected.
