I work best inundated with things, when it's like raining information.
After you do this for a while, you get used to things not working the way you want them to. There's a job you want, and you don't get it. There's a movie you'd like to get made, and it doesn't get made. You become inured to it.
I don't like having my space invaded.
Food culture is like listening to the Beatles - it's international, it's very positive, it's inventive and creative.
I find that I like what I like. I like a strong melody, I like an inventive structure and I have to like the singer's voice or I have no interest in it.
I like inventive melodies and chord changes, a little bit of creativity.
I won't go so far as to say that novels sell in inverse proportion to their worth, for just occasionally, someone like Dickens or George Eliot comes along to prove the opposite.
I stay away from straight bench; all the work I do is with dumbbells to protect my rotator cuffs. Then I'll do a bunch of different pull moves like inverted rows before finishing with some simple internal or external rotations with a band to strengthen my shoulder.
Like civil suits, criminal investigations take the president's focus away from his or her responsibilities to the people.
Jack Taylor was a private investigator in Galway, which seemed like madness. I used lots of Galway-isms, which seemed like madness, too.
I see my studio like a laboratory, where I work like an investigator - it's almost forensic. I love the discovery process in painting.
If my businesses or my investments are not profitable, then I don't eat. And I like to eat.
The Fourth of July concert is invigorating in so many ways, in terms of what it feels like to be an American.
Blush is really fresh and young, really invigorating. I like it more than bronzer. I think it's just a bit more lively.
It is like a disease to think that an invincible status has been achieved after being satisfied with the past successful operations.
I would say invisibility would be sort of a fun power to have just to see what it was like to move through the world and not be looked at.
I did calligraphy for the invitations for, like, Robin Thicke and Paula Patton's wedding.
For me, writing a novel is like solving a puzzle. But I don't intend my novels as puzzles. I intend them as invitations to dance.
Most scientists like to operate in the context of economy. If you don't need an explanatory principle, don't invoke it.
Writing songs and looking for ideas is like blinking my eyes. It's an involuntary muscle. I do it without thought.
