I used to play on Phil Spector's records, and he liked to use three pianists.
He is the true enchanter, whose spell operates, not upon the senses, but upon the imagination and the heart.
Of course there may well be particular reasons why Spencer rather than others is dead, as there were also particular reasons why he rather than others made such a stir.
Spielberg, like many others, wants to convince before he discusses. In that, there is something very totalitarian.
I worked with Steven Spielberg on Amistad... he seemed so very secure in himself that he let me do things.
We knew we were talking about spies. I knew he knew I knew. I was digging my own grave.
I like Spike Lee a lot. He's incredibly gifted and I don't think he gets the credit he deserves as a filmmaker.
Spike Lee listens a lot. He's one of the quietest creative people I've ever met.
I'm particularly impressed by the creation of the character of Spock, which really was Leonard Nimoy's singular creation. He used everything he had.
To cast Mr. Spock, I made a phone call to Leonard, and he came in. That was it.
When Gene first contacted me for 'Star Trek,' he gave me the part of Spock to read! I'm glad I didn't take it because I don't think anyone could have played Spock better than Leonard Nimoy.
No poet will ever take the written word as a substitute for the spoken word; he knows that it is on the spoken word, and the spoken word only, that his art is founded.
I love Eric Clapton and what he did with Cream; 'Spoonful' and 'Crossroads,' those are probably the coolest solos.
When a man wantonly destroys one of the works of man we call him a vandal. When he destroys one of the works of god we call him a sportsman.
The next great decathlete is going to be a runner. I still feel that a Dan O'Brien, if he was a runner and not a sprinter, could have gone over 9,000 points.
A sprinter is never satisfied; otherwise, he is not a sprinter.
I heard this massive thud. I spun around, and there Keith was, on the ground. He'd cut his gums up on impact, he was very bloody, and clutching his head. I think it was a kind of wake-up call for him.
Let the fear of a danger be a spur to prevent it; he that fears not, gives advantage to the danger.
My grandfather was a Tuskegee Airman. He flew with the 100th Fighter Squadron.
I've started collecting taxidermy: I've got a red squirrel, called Steve. I made sure he came with certificates so we know he wasn't just killed for stuffing.
