I like the idea of being out there regularly with an audience and with a funny gang of people. That's what I grew up with - doing television, doing shows every week.
Shows have been sold out. It's overwhelming, you know. I had no idea what to expect with this new sound and everything and just to see so many people just come out and embrace it, it's overwhelming.
This call for a new culture is not a new idea.
My idea of education is to unsettle the minds of the young and inflame their intellects.
What to do when inspiration doesn't come; be careful not to spook, get the wind up, force things into position. You must wait around until the idea comes.
Without troublesome work, no one can have any concrete, full idea of what pure mathematical research is like or of the profusion of insights that can be obtained from it.
I am totally against the idea that a Muslim woman should not have the same opportunities as a Muslim man to learn, to open up, to work, help shape the future. To close Islam down to a sexist approach is totally intolerable and ridiculous. It's not Islam.
You have to create a track record of breaking your own mold, or at least other people's idea of that mold.
Normal people don't just wake up in the morning and say I think it'd be a good idea to run for president of the United States.
The idea of making pictures abroad is exciting when you're in Hollywood and have never worked in foreign countries. You think you'll get to see the sights and have all the fun that goes with traveling. Actually, you spend so much time on the job that you don't do much else.
The hardest thing is the idea. Ideas come from somewhere but as far as we know they come from nowhere.
It is not enough to merely defend democracy. To defend it may be to lose it; to extend it is to strengthen it. Democracy is not property; it is an idea.
An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come.
All the forces in the world are not so powerful as an idea whose time has come.
Nothing else in the world... not all the armies... is so powerful as an idea whose time has come.
