I'm a problem solver. I love people. The more complicated they are, the more I get into them, and I just want to understand what makes them tick.
Just understand that the type of music that I make is something special.
For a songwriter, you don't really go to songwriting school; you learn by listening to tunes. And you try to understand them and take them apart and see what they're made of, and wonder if you can make one, too.
I completely understand the responsibility I have in continuing the sonic style that I have created.
I can't tear up a poem and be a sound bite for you. Why is that so hard for anyone to understand?
To finance longer life spans, we must convince individuals to start investing now for the long term. But longevity should be an asset that can be levered, not a curse. They must understand that there's a cost to sitting in cash. No one talks about that cost.
I think I understand something about space. I think the job of a sculptor is spatial as much as it is to do with form.
Helmet was joined to helmet, and spear to spear, and jewels, baggage, and elephants without number went with them, and you would have said it was a host that none could understand.
As a freedom-lover and avid outdoorsman, I understand the importance of protecting the Second Amendment, which has been under attack by liberal special interest groups funded by elitist billionaires.
I have no spy stories to tell, because I saw no spies. Nor did I understand, at that time, any opposition between American and Russian national interest.
What happened in my past happened. What's the term - don't cry over spilled milk? That's the thing people don't understand. I'm all right. I configured myself into coming out on the other end OK. I can disassociate myself.
I don't understand how it's cheaper to buy a whole steak at the Price Club than spinach. How did that happen?
Americans understand that rising drug prices, wage stagnation and inadequate infrastructure affect everyone, regardless of race.
Understand what you want, and want it as badly as you can. Make the stakes for yourself as life-or-death as you can.
As a kid, you dream of winning the Stanley Cup. As you get older, you understand the importance of winning the Olympics.
I fully understand the expectations of the state governments. Thus, I am better placed to work closely with the chief ministers.
I don't think I see the world in terms of stupid or clever, but in terms of being able to get irony. There's some awful statistic about only 20 per cent of Americans being able to understand irony.
Stem cells have the potential to be used to treat and better understand some of the world's most deadly and disabling diseases.
The average person doesn't understand what a stem cell is. There's a lack of health literacy in our nation. So the public can't really get into this dialogue because they don't understand the complexity of stem cells, not the faith-based approach, not the ideological or political, but the science behind stem cells.
I've come to understand my role. On some level, I provide the context for them to shine. I also know my role is the steward of the songs, and the center point, the artist that the stuff all revolves around. But I really try to honor that.
