I understood something way back when I was on 'Three's Company.' When I got the part, I was flat broke. I was so happy to get the part, but I kept thinking, 'Ugh - dumb blondes are so irritating; how do I make her likable?' I think that I achieved that. It took a while for people to realize I was acting.
I don't think it's true that blondes have more fun... Trust me, it is not true!
I'm sure that blondes have more fun, but I think that as a brunette I might work more.
I ought to be more hardboiled; I'd like to be. I don't think I have it in me. To write in clipped sentences. To employ gritty metaphor in the introduction of sultry blondes... I can't do it, so why bother trying?
I think redheads have more fun than blondes.
I mean I think that Blondie's influence is a little bit in a way more eclectic than those bands.
I think it's a Blondie tradition that all of our albums sort of have a wide spread of styles.
I don't think people realise how important it is to have your blood pressure checked. Stroke is so sudden, so catastrophic.
Gorbachev's legacy is that he called time on communism, partially against his will, but in fact, he finished it off. Without violence. Without bloodshed. Beyond that, I am struggling to think of much else in terms of real legacy.
No one need think that the world can be ruled without blood. The civil sword shall and must be red and bloody.
People think I'm a miserable sod but it's only because I get asked such bloody miserable questions.
I was a late bloomer, but I had a career as a contemporary dancer before that, so I had some kind of connection to this world. But I was always a little more in love with the drama of dancing than the aesthetics, so I thought, 'Why don't you give it a chance if you think you can do it a little different?'
I think a lot of mothers are doing as I am: starting up their own ventures as their children grow older, and having a kind of second blooming.
An artist's creative energy is ephemeral as a flower. It blooms and soon dies. No artist is great forever. Personally, I think I reached my peak in 2004 when I shot 'Samaria' and '3-Iron'.
If the Chinese economy can be opened so that currencies are convertible, Chinese tourists can take money and go see the world. Chinese businessmen can go and buy property in the U.S. and France and every place. All of a sudden, it's just going to be a blossoming global economy. I think it's going to be good for everybody.
I like to think of thoughts as living blossoms borne by the human tree.
Just think: in all the clean, beautiful reaches of the solar system, our planet alone is a blot; our planet alone has death.
It wasn't being an alcoholic - it was going wild. It happened when I got famous. It was like having my teens in my early thirties: blotting out your life, not having to think about anything.
I think of myself as an intelligent, sensitive human being with the soul of a clown which always forces me to blow it at the most important moments.
I'm gonna stay an album guy. In fact, concept albums are really blowing my mind right now, because if you want to promote an album, think about it - a concept album might be the way to go.
