And that's why I'm here, to help someone else up. — Leah Chase
I like California because it still has the glamour and romanticism and exoticism of a very foreign place. It was the place that when I was young, I was raised on "I Love Lucy" and listening to the Grateful Dead and reading Jack Kerouac.

They don't live here ; no one lives here but us. — Bashar al-Assad
In fact, now for whatever reason, if we're recording in the same room, I get a little distracted because I'm watching the actor instead of listening to the actor.

I can really focus on the words and not the surroundings. — Adam Reed

President of the United States is our boss, but he is also... you know, the President and the First Lady are kinda like the Mom and the Dad of the country.

You know, to listen to Senator Lieberman, Senator Kerry, Representative Gephardt, I'm anti-Israel, I'm anti-trade, I'm anti-Medicare and I'm anti-Social Security.

I wouldn't respect any God who would listen to me after I'd rejected him so vociferously. — Chuck Close

I'm being explicit about really horrifying experiences in my life, but my hope has always been to be responsible as an artist and to avoid indulging in my misery, or to come off as an exhibitionist. I don't want to make the listener complicit in my vulnerable prose poem of depression, I just want to honor the experience. I'm not the victim here, and I'm not seeking other peoples' sympathy. I don't blame my parents, they did the best they could. — Sufjan Stevens
I'm intrigued on how music is made, that's how I started getting into it. Of course I've been in the booth before, just joking around to see how it is, and I'll make a couple of beats here or there and help my artists out. But other that, I'll stick to listening. — Kevin Durant

I knew I never should have let you watch The Wizard of Oz. — Kevin Hearne
