There is no subject on which more dangerous nonsense is talked and thought than marriage.
My dad and I used to shoot little one-stop animations on an old 8mm film camera when I was no more than 7 or 8, and when he was away at work, I would keep shooting nonsensical, short animated films using 'Star Wars' figures or Smurfs - depended what the narrative was.
Nonverbal communication forms a social language that is in many ways richer and more fundamental than our words.
I didn't look up to only pop stars, but I did look up to Adele, Amy Winehouse, Grimes, Robyn, Joni Mitchell, Norah Jones, M.I.A., Coldplay, Keane, and more.
I was stationed in Norfolk, Virginia, for a while, about which the less said the better, and then I was in the Mediterranean, about which the more said the better.
I wish I could spend more time in Africa. I have this intense sense of complete relaxation and normality here.
We are in a world that is quite extremist and extremism makes more noise. Normality does not sell.
I feel more Scottish than Norman.
It is my opinion that Norman Rockwell and his ilk have done more to make already anxious people feel guilty than anyone else.
Frank Capra, Hollywood's Horatio Alger, lights with more cinematic know-how and zeal than any other director to convince movie audiences that American life is exactly like the 'Saturday Evening Post' covers of Norman Rockwell.

Any North American state is more important than Uruguay, in dimensions, in its economic force.
I see real opportunities for us to have stronger, closer collaboration between the three North American partners and seize on opportunities to achieve objectives of more jobs and growth.
We're going to push hard against China because 90 percent of the trade that happens with North Korea is from China, and so, while they have been helpful, they need to do more.
I think the future of lunar bases has to be somewhere around the South or North Pole. You have less variation in temperature and more daylight hours.
Nowadays I'm more interested in what you'd call 'alternative.' Lately we've been listening to a lot of Mumford & Sons, and Jenny Owen Youngs. I'm also pretty crazy about the Kings of Convenience, a Norwegian band that's been compared to Simon and Garfunkel.
I'm just coming from a more personal - and, I guess, more nostalgic - point of view.
I don't listen to punk any more, unless it's right before I play. Not that I don't like it, it's nostalgic. But, it's for kids and it should be... it's not art, it's expression.
I finally realize that I have earned my happiness and what little success I have. And I'm not guilty about it any more. It just happened one day. It just came out.
I'm hardly the most notable person in 'Zombieland.' The other actors in it are way more famous than I am.
We have more and more ways to communicate, as Thoreau noted, but less and less to say.
