My stuff is observational, what people do with their lives from the angle of a man that canβt pull it off. So if I talk about having a family, it would be through the medium of a man who is in no fit state to be given a child to look after.
Anyone concerned with the broken politics in Washington needs to look no further than Mitch McConnell's cynical manipulation of the rules and obstruction of the NLRB.
However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results.
I have been heartbroken once and it has affected all my relationships from there on. But now I look at it as a occupational hazard. If you are in the meat market at some point you are gonna get mad cows disease.
The only time I am not talking is when I am dancing. I look like an electrocuted octopus.
In Europe, we don't only take offence when one company is treating another company in a way that's illegal. We also look at if governments are joining up with companies that makes it more difficult for other companies. We also see that sometimes government actions can make it very difficult for businesses to compete on their merits.
For I have learned to look on nature, not as in the hour of thoughtless youth, but hearing oftentimes the still, sad music of humanity.
I had years of partying, and I was kind of surprised and happy I survived it all. Now, being a parent, I look back on it thinking, Oh God, the things you did!
I look back on being 17 and think, 'Oh my God, how did I not die?'
I feel like 35. At 35 you're old enough to know something and young enough to look forward to what you can do with the knowledge. So I stayed at 35!
The first temptation, upon meeting an old friend after many years, is always to - look the other way.
If you're old enough to have a job and to have a life, you use Facebook exactly as advertised, you look up old friends.
I can no more reread my own books than I can watch old home movies or look at snapshots of myself as a child. I wind up sitting on the floor, paralyzed by grief and nostalgia.
You can be a sophisticated person and still have really old ideas about what love is supposed to look like.
I don't know that much about who directs what movies, but I'm definitely inspired by the look of old movies; I find them to be really beautiful.
I look back at old photographs and videotapes, and I go, Who was I trying to be? Who was I doing this for?
Hopes are like hair ornaments. Girls want to wear too many of them. When they become old women they look silly wearing even one.
You will attract the younger generation and they might well prove tougher than the older generation. What we are trying to do is to look at the future and see what we can do to bring some stability back to people's lives.
I never had one of those glorious young bodies that make older men and women weep. So I don't tend to look back with nostalgia or yearn for what I've lost. Because it was never all that.
It's so hard when you're young to look at older people and understand that they have been where you are. It's the weirdest thing. You just can't get your head around that, can you? You can't get your head around the fact that someone who is 60 was once 16, if you're 16. But the fact is they have been, and they remember it.
