I want everyone to recognize and know me. I don't want bodyguards. I want to be able to go out into the masses.
I've tried not to get too bogged down by what people want you to be.
As a writer, you have to first of all write what you want to. Listen to advice, by all means, but don't get bogged down in it.
One of the things I learned very early on is you need to cast the kids for the characters you want them to play. They need to be who they are, right? If you want a loud, boisterous kid character, you need to find that kid.
I've gone to Detroit. I've been to Ferguson; I've been to Baltimore, because I want our party to be bigger, better and bolder, and I'm the only one that leads Hillary Clinton in five states that were won by President Obama. I'm a different kind of Republican.
I want to stress that at no time Bolivia acts untimely or irresponsibly.
Once I knock Szpilka out, I want all the Polish fans to come on the 'Bronze Bomber' train as I bring the heavyweight division back to the top.
Suppose I criticise Iran. What impact does that have? The only impact it has is in fortifying those who want to carry out policies I don't agree with, like bombing.
I'm a bombshell, so I'm going to do me. If I want to go platinum, I'm going platinum.
That James Bond movie? The one where Bond skis off a cliff, shucks his skis, and parachutes to the ground? That's for me. That's what I want to be. A stuntman in a Bond movie.
Mars once was wet and fertile. It's now bone dry. Something bad happened on Mars. I want to know what happened on Mars so that we may prevent it from happening here on Earth.
If there's a book you really want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it.
We're conditioned to let businesses fail, regardless of how much we like them. We believe that if the market doesn't want that bookstore to exist, then it shouldn't exist.
I get crazy in a bookstore. It makes my heart beat hard because I want to buy everything.
We don't want bookstores to die. Authors need them, and so do neighborhoods.
Whenever I need that extra confidence booster, whenever I want to feel that extra chic-edgy, I grab red lipstick.
I don't want to be characterized as the big booster guy.
I definitely use 'smiling while rapping' as a tool in the booth. I want to have fun while recording.
I think all of those things, but certainly the booze really brought out the really unreasonable side of me, and I just didn't want to revisit that place again.
It depends on various things like if the promoters want to have a break so they can sell more T-shirts and booze, then they ask if we can do an interval. I personally prefer not to do that. Once you get onstage, I like to stay there.
