People used to see things that disgusted them and say, 'I never want to see that again.' Now we've reached the point where we see things that are disturbing and revolting to us, but we want to see more and more of it.
There's very few geniuses that come and revolutionize everything. For the rest of us that want to be artists and have something to say, it's a lot of work and a lot of luck.
The questions I want to ask will revolve around humans, connection, relationships, family, and stories - what are the stories we tell ourselves and each other?
You want to know how to rhyme, then learn how to add. It's mathematics.
I don't want to be a lead player. I don't want to shred and play fast licks. I just want to be the best rhythm section ever.
So I concentrated on the rhythmic side of things, and therefore left a lot of holes. I didn't want to use big pad chords everywhere. All of the songs are built up of small melodies and counter melodies all played very rhythmically.
I didn't want to do anything but ride horses until I was, like, 15.

In Florida, to buy a gun, you do not need a permit, you do not need a gun license, and once you buy it, you do not need to register it. You do not need a permit to carry a concealed rifle or shotgun. You can buy as many guns as you want at one time.
I'm a huge gamer. I'm very excited, and the idea of the Rift was as a headset that was designed around the specific uses of VR gaming. But I'm excited about a lot of stuff that's outside of it, because I was a VR enthusiast. I want VR to be the thing that we all live in, that we all use for everything, not just games.
When readers close the covers on 'Running the Rift,' I want them to understand that it is not a genocide novel but rather a story of hope and rebirth.
Now, we don't teach children in schools to be creative. We don't teach them to experiment. We want them to fill in the right answer, tick the right answer in the box.
We want to strike the right balance between the governments and our users. If there are concerns, we can work together.
Rock Hudson let his gay agent marry him off to his secretary because he didn't want people to get the right idea.
This will be Valegro's retirement after Rio, so I want to go out there and want to enjoy every last minute.
Arturo Gatti-Micky Ward. Joe Frazier-Muhammad Ali. You get these rivalries in boxing - not that often, so when you do get them, why do you want to sanitise it?
Television doesn't want to admit it has those dreadful roach ads on anyway.
If you want to achieve something, you're going to run into roadblocks, but you have to learn how to pivot and explore your options.
Novelists should be free to write whatever they want, to let their imaginations roam as close to or as removed from reality as they see fit.
That whole concept of 'I want to really go after people' - I don't understand that. Is it a roast, or is it an awards show?
