say-anything trying world
I try to exist in a world where there is freedom of opinion, where you're allowed to make jokes. I don't want to live in some PC world where no-one's allowed to say anything.
thinking giving individual
I think being individual in the show business is what gives you life and longevity.
voice people singing
I'm not someone who can sing anything. And my favorite singers aren't people whose voice you would say is amazing. I'm a big Bob Dylan fan, a huge David Bowie fan. None of those people have orthodox, cabaret voices. These are people where what they're singing about is just as important as how they're singing it.
serves
If an interview just serves the idea of celebrity, then I think that sucks. I don't want to do that.
freshness news people stale worried
I never worried about getting stale because the news and the people induce freshness every working hour.

In 1949, I saw a World War II veteran named Lou Brissie, who had nearly lost a lower leg in combat, pitch in the All-Star Game in Brooklyn.

Make my breast transparent as pure crystal, that the world, jealous of me, may see the foulest thought my heart does hold.
supporters terrorists war
With those attacks, the terrorists and their supporters declared war on the United States. And war is what they got.
coming left liked tolkien
I never liked Gandalf the White as much as Gandalf the Grey, and I never liked him coming back. I think it would have been an even stronger story if Tolkien had left him dead.
coming four hours jobs less near three
I could actually care less about the poor. We have some living near us, and pee-yew. They are always coming and going to their three or four jobs at all hours of the day and night. Annoying!
