There are people who don't like capitalism, and people who don't like PCs. But there's no-one who likes the PC who doesn't like Microsoft.
In a capitalist society, persons who create capital, like Michael Eisner, are given the staggering rewards.
Capitalists seem uninterested in capitalism, even as eager entrepreneurs can't get financing. Businesses and investors sound like the Ancient Mariner, who complained, 'Water, water everywhere - nor any drop to drink.'
With a guy like Yoel Romero, if he senses weakness, he will capitalize on it every time he can.
If I didn't start singing in the cabarets and on my albums, I could have never even tried something like 'Capone.'
I read Carver. Julio Cortazar. Amis's essays. Baldwin. Lorrie Moore. Capote. Saramago. Larkin. Wodehouse. Anything, anything at all, that doesn't sound like me.
Jimmy Carter as President is like Truman Capote marrying Dolly Parton. The job is just too big for him.
I didn't sound anything like Capote at the screen test. It was more like Bob Dylan. In his early years. With the flu.
Though I played classical piano since age 5 and sang in a cappella groups, being an artist didn't seem like something I was talented enough to do full time. So I kind of buried that dream.
With the a cappella groups, every voice is like one string on a guitar, one note on the piano, or one cymbal, and you don't have the luxury of falling back on anything.
The Widelux is a fickle mistress; its viewfinder isn't accurate, and there's no manual focus, so it has an arbitrariness to it, a capricious quality. I like that.
'Capricorn One' just seemed like... wow. That was it, y'know? Nothing was ever going to be better than that movie.
I have ambitions to set records which will be hard to chase down, like getting more than 100 caps for Ireland.
Oh yeah, I was one of the first guys writing comic books, I wrote Captain America, with guys like Stan Lee, who became famous later on with Marvel Comics.
I like Captain America because I liked Captain America when I was younger.
I'm horribly hands-on, I'm afraid. I like to read every caption.
I'm riveted by extreme sports like big-wave surfing, 'megaramp' skateboarding and half-pipe snowboarding. I'm fascinated partly because the sports are so exhilaratingly acrobatic. But I'm also captivated by the fear that a terrible accident might happen at any moment. And accidents do happen.
One of the pillars of 'Cyrano' is recreating a love story and, like any archetype, these great stories tend to be captivating, among other things, because they are made of those universal things that move us.
I really like the European carols, and I like that captivating sound that they have that isn't usually in Christmas songs.
I don't want to be the oldest performer in captivity... I don't want to look like a little old man dancing out there.
