It's really not that hard. If I do a Tonight Show, it's six or seven minutes. If I do a concert, it's 90 minutes. If I do an interview, that's 15 minutes. So by the end of the day I've done three hours worth of work.
'Darkness on the Edge of Town' came out of a huge body of work that had tons of very happy songs.
I wake up every day and I can't wait to go to work, and that's a gift. Not too many people have the opportunity to feel that way.
In my line of work, someone may say, 'Guess what? You've got to be on a plane in two hours.' So I keep a toothbrush and toothpaste on me.
Really top-notch directors, I've often worked with them just to see how they work.
Rush has done some top-notch quality work, and we're very, very pleased with them. We really enjoy working with them. They are on time and on budget, which makes me happy.
Cities are complex and contain just about any thing or concept ever invented by humans. How the city is built, its topography, and how close you live to your work and a grocery store affects your mobility.
The idea is this: It's important to upset one's work habits, to topple the cart for each project.
We're all our own worst critics and so hard on ourselves, but for me, my biggest insecurity is my arms. I just hate the tops of them. I work out and they still never look good enough for me. So, over the years I've learned to dress to make myself feel better.
I have four to five months, tops, per year to give to my acting work.
You can't work in a steel mill and think small. Giant converters hundreds of feet high. Every night, the sky looked enormous. It was a torrent of flames - of fire. The place that Pittsburgh used to be had such scale.
I'm not a very patient person. I'll take those quick risks to see if it's going to work versus taking the long and tortuous road of trying to guarantee myself that something will work. That's like self-mutilation to me.
To make large, site-specific work as an artist is usually quite tortuous; there are so many boxes you have to tick.
There's been a lot of experience with torture in history. It doesn't work.
I'll be my own man and work closely with a Tory Government if it is in London's interest.
The hardest thing about being a full time chef is leaving my work behind when I go home at night. I'll toss and turn about a menu item or forget to order produce and wake up at 4 A.M. in a cold sweat over some artichokes.
What's it like to envision the ten-thousand-year environmental impact of tossing a plastic bottle into the trash bin, all in the single second it takes to actually toss it? Or the ten-thousand-year history of the fossil fuel being burned to drive to work or iron a shirt? It may be environmentally progressive, but it's not altogether pleasant.
We wish to work in total freedom.
I have the most openness about my art... It's total freedom and willingness to work. I'm willing really to walk on the edge, and if I haven't achieved it, that's where I want to go. But in my life - maybe because my life has been so traumatic, so absurd - there hasn't been one normal, happy thing.
Video artists being at the low end of the totem pole economically, one of the ways we survive is to go around showing work and giving these talks.
