My oldest boy, when I do skip, he's gonna take over my slot. He was sitting on the stair in diapers wearing my mask with sticks while we were downstairs trying to learn how to be a band.
I was trying to be Mary Tyler Moore. I loved her in 'The Dick Van Dyke Show.'
It's a question of trying to take down by dictation what's already there. I'm not making something, I'm trying to hear it.
The world is full of little dictators trying to run your life.
Old habits die hard, and if you're not careful, the person you used to be can overtake the person you're trying to become.
After trying Atkins and doing Nutrisystem a few times, now I'm just focused on maintaining a healthy lifestyle rather than dieting.
Once I'd chosen the songs, it seemed like it would just be a question then of recording them. But it's a case of trying to re-invent the songs; taking them in different directions.
If I'm just trying to get to different levels... and it takes levels to get to levels, and I just have to do what I have to do to keep on climbing the charts and getting where I need to be.
I was trying to make something really hard, but then I thought I should make something really soft instead, that could be molded into different shapes. That was how I came up with the first plastic. I called it Bakelite.
I really wanted the first record to be different from what I'd done with Genesis, so we were trying to do things in different styles.
I can't write in a whole lot of different styles, trying to please the highbrows one time and the lowbrows the next. I pretty much have a basic style I employ.
Watching a documentary with people hacking their way through some polar wasteland is merely a visual. Actually trying to deal with cold that can literally kill you is quite a different thing.
I like challenges; I like excitement. I like entering different worlds and trying to succeed - not excel, but succeed.
I don't think any of the journalists in 'Broadchurch' are villainous. I think they're all trying to do their jobs under difficult circumstances.
We are constantly being put to the test by trying circumstances and difficult people and problems not necessarily of our own making.
That's what I've been trying to strive for - to draw a clear picture, to open up a new dimension.
The ability to have somebody read something and see it, or for somebody to paint an entire landscape of visual imagery with just sheets of words - that's magical. That's what I've been trying to strive for - to draw a clear picture, to open up a new dimension.
When you're trying to pass on the best of the stuff you're culling to what should be a hungry culture but you have it diminished... that's kind of disappointing.
Rather than diminishing the idea of 'truly needing' a relationship - and trying to deny it, shame it, or talk ourselves out of it - why not just celebrate it? It's exactly what the world needs.
We all have a dinosaur deep within us just trying to get out.
