When I leave here when my final day on this earth is up I want to leave in peace. I want to have peace in my heart.
My different personalities leave me in peace now.
Whenever nature leaves a hole in a person's mind she generally plasters it over with a thick coat of self-conceit.
All is disgust when a man leaves his own nature and does what is unfit.
Reason is a supple nymph and slippery as a fish by nature. She had as leave give her kiss to an absurdity any day as to syllogistic truth. The absurdity may turn out truer.
There is nothing in which the birds differ more from man than the way in which they can build and yet leave a landscape as it was before.
Love thou the rose yet leave it on its stem.
Forests lakes and rivers clouds and winds stars and flowers stupendous glaciers and crystal snowflakes - every form of animate or inanimate existence leaves its impress upon the soul of man.
I still get wildly enthusiastic about little things... I play with leaves. I skip down the street and run against the wind.
I love to listen to pop music and I admire people who do that but I don't think I would ever be a very good pop star. I always leave that singing voice for the shower! I wouldn't put it out in the world!
Also because people like to multitask in a way if you've got a bit of music on in the background and the lyrical content is making you want to listen to it then that would probably put you off the texting you wanted to do. I think people like things that just make that right kind of noise but leave your brain free to do something else.
Music's been around a long time and there's going to be music long after Ray Charles is dead. I just want to make my mark leave something musically good behind. If it's a big record that's the frosting on the cake but music's the main meal.
If music leaves any impression at all it does so without regard to stylistic issues.
Once music ceases to be ephemeral - always disappearing - and becomes instead material... it leaves the condition of traditional music and enters the condition of painting. It becomes a painting existing as material in space not immaterial in time.
I like to comprehend more or less everything around me - apart from the creation of my music. It's an obsessive character trait that's getting worse. I don't switch the light on and off 15 times before I leave the room yet but something's going wrong.
When words leave off music begins.
Moving on is a simple thing what it leaves behind is hard.
My favorite movies are movies that I go in and I leave deeply affected. Whether I laugh really hard or whether I cry really hard I just want to feel really affected in that moment.
I want to do movies that I'm proud of where my kids at some point can see and I can feel comfortable sitting there watching it with them. And just that move people. That make people feel a little bit better about themselves when they leave the theatre.
I always leave that for other people to decide because some of the things I consider to be disasters are some people's favorite movies. And that's what I like so much is that you never know. Something intrigues somebody and means nothing to somebody else.
I've made so many movies playing a hooker that they don't pay me in the regular way anymore. They leave it on the dresser.
The present moment is nice but it does not last. Living in it is like waiting in a junction town for the morning limited the junction may be interesting but some day you will have to leave it and you do not know where the limited will take you.
I looked at films as a career from necessity but all I have really wanted is my home and children. The two things just do not work out together when one has to leave home at 5.30 am in the morning to go to the studio.
My joking answer to this question is that I leave a bowl of milk out on the back porch every night for the Idea Fairy. In the morning the milk is gone and there's a brand-new shiny idea by the bowl.
