I keep guitars that are you know the neck's a little bit bent and it's a little bit out of tune. I want to work and battle it and conquer it and make it express whatever attitude I have at that moment. I want it to be a struggle.

Certain thoughts are prayers. There are moments when whatever be the attitude of the body the soul is on its knees.

But the attitude of faith is to let go and become open to truth whatever it might turn out to be.

I think no artist can claim to have any access to the truth or an authentic version of an event. But obviously they have slightly better means at their disposal because they have their art to energize whatever it is they're trying to write about. They have music.

We're all entitled to opinions about how art institutions should behave and entitled to voicing those opinions through whatever means available to us. We're also allowed to change or modify our opinions.

A work of art has no importance whatever to society. It is only important to the individual.

You want to be a bit compulsive in your art or craft or whatever you do.

It is art that makes life makes interest makes importance... and I know of no substitute whatever for the force and beauty of its process.

We want to answer this classical question who am I? So I think that most of our works are for art or whatever we do including science or religion tried to answer that question.

It is art that makes life makes interest makes importance and I know of no substitute whatever for the force and beauty of its process.

I choose a block of marble and chop off whatever I don't need.

But those musics do not address the larger kind of architecture in time that classical music does whatever each one of us knows that classical music must mean.

I paint mostly from real life. It has to start with that. Real people real street scenes behind the curtain scenes live models paintings photographs staged setups architecture grids graphic design. Whatever it takes to make it work.

Whatever good things we build end up building us.

We had a relationship that lasted 44 years. Herbert and I lived together 10 years before we were married. He always gave me a little heart for whatever anniversary.

After my second-to-last record 'The Greatest' I had gone on tour for a while and I didn't play an instrument for about five years. And I got kind of - it's not self-esteem or whatever or anger toward myself - but disappointed in myself that I hadn't been challenging myself to learn musically.

Whatever is begun in anger ends in shame.

When I left the show the fans were so amazing in terms of the outpouring of support and continued support all that time whatever ways they could be in touch with me.

When I go outside of L.A. no matter where it is really anywhere I go people will be stopping me or taking pictures or whatever it is. And it's great. It's amazing. I'm just lucky.

'10' was amazing! I had no career before '10' and then all of a sudden I was able to do pretty much whatever I was able to do in the business.

If you pay attention to the world it's an amazing place. If you don't it's whatever you think it is.

I seriously love to cook... My grandmother was an amazing cook. As a kid I used to help her make handmade pasta Cavatelli and Ravioli. It was one of my favorite things to do. I love the idea of making whatever is in the fridge into something.

I just want to be a part of great stories whether I'm part of an amazing ensemble cast or I'm leading it or the antagonist or whatever.

I imagine my children are going to save me from my vanity and be my passion and fill whatever fears I have of the amazing time I'm having right now being gone.
