We needed 40 years to overcome East Germany. Sometimes in history, one has to be prepared for the long haul and not ask after four months if it still makes sense to keep up our demands.
Sometimes it feels as if everything in life is just something we haul into the grave.
Sometimes writing a novel is not unlike having a baby. You'd have to ask a female novelist to compare the pain.
The bottom line is that the human body is complex and subtle, and oversimplifying - as common sense sometimes impels us to do - can be hazardous to your health.
Is there discrimination against women? Yes, like the old boys' network. And sometimes discrimination against women becomes discrimination against men: in hazardous fields, women suffer fewer hazards.
I listen to 'Purple Haze' a lot. If I'm in the gym, I listen to that album the whole way through sometimes.
I play these sort of comical instruments I invented, like the electric rake and the electric plunger. I do a lot of almost stand-up comedy material. Just the juxtaposition of the different styles in itself sometimes is funny. Like, I do sort of an acoustic version of 'Purple Haze' that has some bluegrass licks in it.
Sometimes, I wonder where my place in this town called 'Hollywood' is - and that can give you a really dull headache.
Sometimes as a player, you're not there yet. The doctor can tell you the headache is gone, but he don't totally know that it is gone unless he can get in your head.
Sometimes a great wound or concussion of the head, especially which happens by falling headlong from an high place, brings a prejudice and weakness to the animal faculty, dulling the understanding.
Healing is a matter of time, but it is sometimes also a matter of opportunity.
Sometimes a miracle is a change in material conditions, such as physical healing. At other times, it is a psychological or emotional change.
'Tis healthy to be sick sometimes.
Sometimes I hear people saying, 'Nothing has changed.' Come and walk in my shoes.
But I know I have a son who doesn't listen to anything I say and if he hears the same thing from someone else, sometimes it has a little more impact.
I think, as musicians, our music should be who we are. Sometimes it's not - it's someone else's. All heartfelt music and all honest music, it's who we are. Of course, our upbringing has everything to do with it.
The problem with certainty is that sometimes it can sound cold and heartless, although it is the most compassionate and supportive answer.
Team members care about one another, listen, share secrets, talk about the latest news, have heated arguments, are sometimes jealous of each other, and even cry together.
I find the ones that have the most emotional weight, the heaviest songs. For some reason, for me, they're usually the ones I write the quickest. I put more work into uplifting material, I think, sometimes.
It could be hectic sometimes when you're being an artist and running a label at the same time. But there are times when you just have to say that this my time period to work on my stuff, and then you say this is the time to concentrate on my artists.
