That's what noir feels like to me. It feels like some kind of recurring dream with very strong archetypes operating. You know the guilty girl being pursued falling all kinds of stuff that we see in our dreams all the time.
An Academy Award nomination is stuff dreams are made of.
In Nicaragua liberty equality and the rule of law were the stuff of dreams. But in Paris I discovered the value of those words.
The buildings that I build very often have a dreamlike reality. I don't mean by that they have a fantasy quality at all in fact quite the reverse. They contain in some degree the ingredients that give dreams their power... stuff that's very close to us.
My father his spirit is with me constantly and I'm a believer in that world and the world of dreams and that stuff.
Like all young reporters - brilliant or hopelessly incompetent - I dreamed of the glamorous life of the foreign correspondent: prowling Vienna in a Burberry trench coat speaking a dozen languages to dangerous women narrowly escaping Sardinian bandits - the usual stuff that newspaper dreams are made of.
Look at the average American diet: ice cream butter cheese whole milk all this fat. People don't realize how much of this stuff you get by the end of the day. High blood pressure is from all this high-fat eating.
The point is that I don't design stuff for myself. I'm a toolmaker. I design things that other people want to use.
My training as an engineer has enabled me to design the stuff but the reason I do it is not to make music but for the opportunity to work with musicians.
I think gardens are fantastic and I'd love to draw and design and stuff like that. I love just planting flowers during the summer. There's something very humble about it and natural and beautiful.
It's funny now how much we look at - whatever you want to call it: art design culture stuff film - online and how in the online world you're instantly global.
Our guiding principle was that design is neither an intellectual nor a material affair but simply an integral part of the stuff of life necessary for everyone in a civilized society.
I majored in fashion design in school and I have always wanted to design my own line of clothing jewelry and stuff like that so this was just a step for me in that direction.
I would think twice about designing stuff for which there was no need and which didn't endure.
There's stuff I don't like to rehearse really emotional things I don't like to rehearse. You just beat it to death.
I'm death obsessed. You know I have death all over my house. I have a stuffed two headed sheep!
I think Prince should open up a little more to other artists. Just because we love Prince. Especially the old stuff - we love him to death. But if he opened up he would be something to deal with. Imagine Kanye West producing a Prince track? It would be banoodles!
Death Valley is really wide-open - it's bigger than Rhode Island - and it's less a part of California than an ungoverned territory so there's lots of weird cops-and-robbers stuff going on.
Whenever I watch TV and see those poor starving kids all over the world I can't help but cry. I mean I'd love to be skinny like that but not with all those flies and death and stuff.
The kids out there want something they can relate to something that's real most of that whiny stuff isn't real. The cheesy pop songs just bore me to death.
My wife and I have been together since 1986. I graduated in '86 and she graduated in '88. We began dating when she was 17. Actually she turned 18 when we started kissing and stuff.
Stuff about me dating Kim Kardashian - I have no idea where that came from and all these other rumors. I don't think I'm that type.
I think more dating stuff is scheduling. It's needing people who understand your work schedule.
I love my daughter but she had me on couscous and fixed me pastas and made me eat oatmeal every morning and what else turkey burgers turkey bacon and that kind of stuff. So she wants her dad to live a long time and I do too.
