I want to see overwhelming force repel anybody who is trying to get into the White House.
So the first thing that went on was to decide... trying to find a time when we could get reprisal raids out.
I'm all for trying anything once; otherwise, you end up like David Guetta - reproducing the same formula over and over.
What makes a poem is the discipline inherent in making a poem: trying to fit feelings in the requisite number of syllables and lines, disciplining one's feelings.
If you are a researcher, you are trying to figure out what the question is as well as what the answer is.
I harbored a lot of resentment as a teenager and as a young adult. I still have a problem with authority, I'm trying to listen!
I don't like the word rock opera, but I'm trying to write on that level that's reserved for plays still, or novels.
I've been actively trying to extend my reach beyond WWE. I wanted to do some non-action related projects, stuff that will resonate with different audiences who might not know who I am.
What I saw in the record industry is it's just getting more restricted, more restricted, more restricted to where everyone's trying to figure out what kind of song to make to get on the radio: that's researched and where advertisers are telling you what to play.
Reversal is something that has been demonstrated in a number of different animals in a number of different ways. I think that's going to translate into larger animals and humans. We won't know until we try. But we are trying 65 different genes in different combinations to see if we can reproduce the aging reversal that we've seen in small animals.

Our words, actions, and diplomatic efforts should be aimed at trying to achieve pragmatic goals rather than creating rhetorical effect.
I'm aware of the rift in the locker room. That's just alpha males and supreme athletes trying to share the spotlight.
I'm trying to have some longevity in this business. If that means not working for a while and just picking the right job, so be it.
If the rules of a language are followed, words usually make sense. But these very rules can stir the impulse to rebel. We're obliged to keep trying to convey meaning through correct sentences. After a while, the good-soldier rigidity of polished prose can begin to seem dull, and it gets harder to resist the temptation of nonsense.
I see myself as a journalist reporting neglected stories about our past and trying to bring rigor, reason and intuition to the quest.
The core of the person is what he or she loves, and that is bound up with what they worship - that insight recalibrates the radar for cultural analysis. The rituals and practices that form our loves spill out well beyond the sanctuary. Many secular liturgies are trying to get us to love some other kingdom and some other gods.
If all you're trying to do is essentially the same thing as your rivals, then it's unlikely that you'll be very successful.
I'm not trying to emulate or imitate. But I do believe that I embody that spirit from Robert Johnson on up.
I was a hop-around. I hung out with the rockabilly crew, the guys who were trying to be rappers, the funny kids.
