Since then, I have just read and read - but, that said, I suppose there is a raft of writers to whom I return again and again, not so much because I want to write like them, even if I were capable of it, but simply for a sort of stylistic shot in the arm.
In certain fight scenes in 'Raging Bull' - for example, the shorter ones - I literally just took the head and tail of the shot and put it together, and it all worked beautifully.
I really, really like 'In Rainbows.' But I also really like 'OK Computer' as a sort of flipside to that. 'Reckoner' is my favorite, just my favorite Radiohead song. That, 'Idioteque,' and 'Pyramid Song' are my top three.
Don't take your toys inside just because it's raining.
Jeff Bridges is one of those icons that I put on a very high pedestal, so just to get to chill with him off-camera on cold, rainy days was surreal.
I just like Raisin Bran - it keeps me regular.
I've never seen Ralph Lauren, Rick Owens, or Raf Simons described as white designers. They are just designers.
I am not comfortable walking the ramp for just any designer. I am particular about who I associate with.
With any sort of minority, issues of ostracization or misrepresentation are clearly rampant. It's just so deeply rooted in our culture, and there are so many levels that it trickles down from.
I don't really listen to rap; I just like to rap.
I really didn't want to rap; I was just a regular kid.
When I finished Westlife, we had - Louie Walsh is still managing me - I was lucky to have options from different labels such as Sony and Universal. When we met Capitol and Nick Raphael, I just believed in them the most, and it looked like they believed in me the most.
Rapping just gave me something to do versus the streets.
You have to be just as mistrustful of straightforward rationality in business as you do of a uniquely gut approach.
I just sit down at the piano and rattle it off.
In my mind, the re-election of Richard Nixon, compared with what was available on the other side, was so much more important that I put it in just that context.
A role is never just a ready-made thing.
I don't want to release a CD; I want to release the real deal, so we're just gonna take our time.
I have a real issue with radio these days. I just am not into the current music.
A lot of actors do that - they blame their failure on their agents or their photos. But that is just putting off the real issues.
