Wit ought to be a glorious treat like caviar; never spread it about like marmalade.
So, I was just a young guy, maybe with an idea, and Cecil Taylor, himself a rebel, would take a chance on a guy like me. It turned out to be a very symbiotic partnership. I learned a lot from him.
The message I like to convey to women and girls across the globe is that there is no glass ceiling.
I don't like war. I particularly don't like the celebration of war, which I think the administration is a little bit guilty of.
Singing is like a celebration of oxygen.
I often imagine what it would be like if my father were still here to mark his 100th birthday, if Alzheimer's hadn't clawed away years, possibilities, hopes. What would he think of all the commemorations and celebrations?
I've lost count of the plane tickets I've had in my pocket for people's weddings and other celebrations which I've had to tear up because I was making a film. How many things like that can you miss and still be in people's lives?
I don't like celebrities; I don't hang out with them; I don't relate to that life.
I don't like talking to celebrities.
I'm not really part of that 'L.A. thing' or that celebrity culture. I'm more like someone who observes it, and I can't ever imagine being like that.
I'd love to have a career like McConaughey or Shia LaBeouf - I love him in everything he's done. Despite his celebrity status, he's such a human being.
If you don't fit into this kind of like gossipy, trendy, Web-hit thingy, you're relegated to sort of second-class celebrity status.
I love to utilize my celebrity status in a responsible and constructive and substantive manner. I like to get my hands dirty rather than a photo op.
So, I didn't get moved up because of celebrity status or anything like that. I got in line, and I passed the test. And they realized that I was sick enough, and as soon as the liver became available, I got one.
I'm afraid of losing my obscurity. Genuineness only thrives in the dark. Like celery.
Many kids can tell you about drugs but do not know what celery or courgettes taste like.
Canada is the essence of not being. Not English, not American, it is the mathematic of not being. And a subtle flavour - we're more like celery as a flavour.
I'm working to bring celestial objects like the sun and moon into the spaces that we inhabit.
I've tried everything but celibacy, and I really want to know what it feels like to be touched by someone with a mental touch and not a physical touch.
A celibate, like the fly in the heart of an apple, dwells in a perpetual sweetness, but sits alone, and is confined and dies in singularity.
