It's nice to be wanted in almost any capacity.

I just tried to build on my failures.

I believe people who go into politics want to do the right thing. And then they hit a big wall of re-election and the pettiness of politics. In the end, politics gets in the way of the business of people.

I'm not defining my band by other people's music, but by my own.

I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days.

I think these movies are as much for people of that time as for people who weren't born. For people who weren't born, they see how leaders must act under a crisis situation, not trying to be re-elected or not trying to check polls, that they go from their gut check.

One person doesn't have to shoulder all the responsibility for why a film does or doesn't do well.
