Not many architects have the luxury to reject significant things.
Architecture is not an inspirational business it's a rational procedure to do sensible and hopefully beautiful things that's all.
To me a building - if it's beautiful - is the love of one man he's made it out of his love for space materials things like that.
Whatever good things we build end up building us.
I was always very grateful to 'em and am grateful to 'em now. I went back a couple of years ago and did their 20th anniversary show. But the longer I stayed on Hee Haw the worse things got for me musically.
I think that all the anger and cynicism comes from suppressing things that we always wanted.
I think people should be angry at things that are worthy of anger. Injustice is outrageous and deserves outrage.
Violence is a problem we all want to solve. I want to make sure that kids learn to deal with anger by learning how to talk with people to solve problems. Here in the United States Senate I want to make sure we have safe schools safe neighborhoods and good things for kids to do after school!
I get in trouble when I say things like 'I'm attracted to violence.' I was a pretty angry kid and I got into military history largely as a way to vent my own anger. As I got older it narrowed down to a more specific focus on individual violence. I'm just trying to understand where it came from.
I was able to do To Sleep with Anger a very powerful film about African Americans their spirituality and the things that happened within a small community and a family.
But one of the hardest things for me to do was to access anger. I could do it on stage. But when I did it on film it was hard for me. That probably has to do with the intimacy of film. And my own personal issues with expressing anger. So I had to learn how to do that.
I've been trying to learn how to not be so conflicted about things like my own anger. I've always had a place in my music for my anger as a way of compensating for not having a mechanism to express it in my everyday life. So I've been trying to be more true to myself and that helps me to chill out a little bit. But politically uh-uh. No.
I grew up looking at my father as to how to behave. In watching him I grasped so many things. His own temperament was of a calm person. He was very composed and I never saw anger in him. To me that was fascinating.
Growing up in a particular neighborhood growing up in a working-class family not having much money all of those things fire you and can give you an edge can give you an anger.
President Obama clearly cannot run on his record. All he's offering is more of the same. That's not good. Look at the economy. It's stagnating. And so what they're now going to try and do is bring this campaign down to little things distractions distortions smear fear anger frustration.
A wonderful emotion to get things moving when one is stuck is anger. It was anger more than anything else that had set me off roused me into productivity and creativity.
There are two things a person should never be angry at what they can help and what they cannot.
Having my first number one single and being able to travel to places I've never been before has been amazing. The tour was also fantastic. There are so many things which I've experienced this year which I never even dreamed of.
One of the amazing things about the Internet is that the content creators are the gatekeepers. We can think of an idea and execute it quickly and we didn't have to pitch the idea to a major network or convince a studio head to sign-off on the concept.
It's amazing to see things that are suggested in the book fully developed and so brilliantly realized through the artistry of the designers.
Gary Ross is amazing. He's just - he always has a billion ideas of what he wants but has a very clear perspective also he just makes it work. He really does. He's trying different things and making everything look amazing.
Changing my body has given me the ability to do all these amazing things that I never in a million years imagined I could do.
The best days I have are usually days where I'm out in the woods and something happens like I see an amazing animal like a fox or I get a glimpse of a wild pig or something that I never see. Or crazy things happen.
There were two things going on: 1) I had already established in my own mind where I wanted to go with the next series and having James around as a Grey Eminence would have complicated matters. He had had an amazing life and it was time to bid him good-bye.
