Stupidity is something unshakable nothing attacks it without breaking itself against it it is of the nature of granite hard and resistant.

If a man cannot do brain work without stimulants of any kind he had better turn to hand work it is an indication on Nature's part that she did not mean him to be a head worker.

People from a planet without flowers would think we must be mad with joy the whole time to have such things about us.

I'd love to do a modern-day musical that's full of original music. To get your contemporaries to sing and dance without looking foolish and for it to be transformational and magical and all those things a musical is supposed to be.

If music leaves any impression at all it does so without regard to stylistic issues.

Without a doubt the best way to get to know me is through my music.

Music I heard with you was more than music and bread I broke with you was more than bread. Now that I am without you all is desolate all that was once so beautiful is dead.

You can't really imagine music without technology.

I think what made it difficult for people to get and still makes it difficult for people to get is the theatrical nature of the work and the fact that my music doesn't exist without the performance-art element.

Music is a means of giving form to our inner feelings without attaching them to events or objects in the world.

Music is the pleasure the human mind experiences from counting without being aware that it is counting.

For the introduction of a new kind of music must be shunned as imperiling the whole state since styles of music are never disturbed without affecting the most important political institutions.

Without music to decorate it time is just a bunch of boring production deadlines or dates by which bills must be paid.

All that running around in my underwear put money in my pockets. I can focus on working in interesting movies without having to worry about supporting myself.

We were raised without movies theater or music. We had only nature the hills the trees. When I got on the set of 'Manon ' I wasn't star-struck because I didn't know what a star was.

With the CGI suddenly there's a thousand enemies instead of six - the army goes off into the horizon. You don't need that. The audience loses its relationship with the threat on the screen. That's something that's consistently happening and it makes these movies like video games and that's a soulless enterprise. It's all kinetics without emotion.

Bond is the longest-running franchise ever and there's a reason for that: they are action movies but they are also touched by current events without being political or too serious.

There are movies where we are interested in seeing people's lives without agreeing with what they're doing.

The movies I watch and the music I listen to and the books I read - those are important to me. It's very important to me and I don't know what I would do without those things.

Most of the time it's the role. Sometimes it's the story and sometimes it just the paycheck. It's the little movies that come out as stories or the fact that I have work to go out you know what I'm saying you can only be out so long without work you start getting antsy.

After making several tragic movies in a row I was looking to do a comedy and one without cynicism.

I'm not a Hollywood basher because enough good movies come out of the Hollywood system every year to justify its existence without any apologies.

Without hard work nothing grows but weeds.

I was lucky enough to grow up in a home where I woke up Christmas morning and had toys. I know that's not the case with all people and I don't think kids should go without experiencing that sort of joy.
