That's what it's about, how society changes people but people can also change society. It only takes a few people to do things and help themselves instead of sitting around on their asses. She has a very global outlook on life and all sorts of things.

When you meet someone for the first time, that's not the whole book. That's just the first page.
When I go to a film, you're taking it easy and you let things wash over you. That's what cinema's all about. You get involved in a world that's being created in front of you.

It is no secret that the Golf Foundation has had its difficulties.
Everyone has determination - it's a question of how you use it. Hers is based on power and success and conquering; she doesn't care what she has to do or who gets hurt in the process. In that way we're very, very different.

You wait until the forest fire is on your front step before you step up.
I'm quite proud of my piano playing. Robin's never played a note on the piano at our recording sessions. I just wish I could be appreciated musically now.
Dante didn't work out, and then we found Ryan. He worked at a comic, record and toy store in Fremont.
The hesitancy is in the detail, not the principal. There has been no resistance to the principal of women playing in the Open if they are qualified for it. We are not dragging our feet. It's just that we never had cause to think about it before.
Songs don't just come out of the air. They take time, but it's good fun, too. Maurice gave me encouragement.
We were great mates. We didn't really go out together because we never really had the time to go out. But we were with each other all the time anyway because we were working all the time. We could sit down and talk for hours, and we still can. We just understood each other.

We loved Andy, so we wanted to keep him. He was in both bands, but Nerve Agents broke up.
Everybody who knows us knows we always have a good time.
It's not important to how the band functions or to what we do. That's just many people's opinions on what they see. A lot of people project stuff on you, but that's okay.
I have to take time occasionally to get away from the pressures of this business. If I don't, I think I would get stale, and that would show in my music.

I really wanted to work hard on my lyrics.
We also listen to PJ Harvey; a lot of driving music. You need something a little more relaxing in the car.
As far as performance, the roar of the crowd, the smell of the greasepaint no I don't feel that.
I had a scene where the chair was meant to slide off the table, but do you think it would slide off? No. We were running out of time and we had to get these scenes done urgently.
America? They had a good girl singer, Janis Joplin.
We drink VB, Victoria Bitter, which is way better.
I just want to do something risque for my debut, purely because I didn't want to make an entrance being the pretty, sweet type that I've been seen as for the last 3 years.
I can't remember too much about the '80s, to be honest with you... I wish that weren't true, but it is.
I always watched the show thinking, 'Wouldn't it be great to be a member?', but I never thought it would happen.
I didn't expect to get it at all. I just went along to the audition for the experience.
Finally, I found a program that's put my troubles behind me.
Our career path has tended to be the most perverse and contrary approach to the entertainment industry imaginable, while at the same time doing the kinds of things that you have to do, the videos, the photos and all that sort of stuff.
I knew at the time that that wasn't the part I would be doing, they just wanted a screentest so they could have a look at it to show to the directors and producers. Then they wrote a part for me or maybe they already had it in mind, I don't know.
It was like a classic thing with Emma. So I walked in and I slammed the door and everything fell off the wall on the set. It was my second or third scene and I was so embarrassed and scared and so nervous about what everyone would say, but everyone just packed up laughing.
Jim Morrison's very good looking, but I don't like this version of the song. The Feliciano version is better.
They had asked for me because they wanted a younger girl, but Mum asked if she could bring Kylie along because she didn't want there to be any jealously.
Robin hasn't got a big nose - but I can soon arrange that.
Barry seems to be more flamboyant merely because he gets more interviews to talk about it.
The fact is that we take music very seriously.
We'd have to suck away at oxygen canisters between songs just so that we could keep playing.
Lots of people I know have bootlegged tapes of performances and if they play it I will be transported back sometimes with happiness, sometimes with horror.
Nicole Richie is supposed to be way too thin. It's more likely she's gone that way as a reaction to being called too chubby in the past. It's her only way of controlling the situation she's in. I completely understand that.
I would go and see loads of films all in one go and they'd start to merge together. It was a bit sad, really. I'd have to see it again.
I have never been over fond of scenes anywhere.
I find it odd at 47 that I can go to festivals and be in the company of groups that are much younger and we are playing a not-dissimilar set.
I feel like this is a bit strange being in here, though. I am a happy person, generally. I like a laugh. Don't I seem to be a happy person?
I don't want to be 35 years old and still popping out songs in miniskirts and la-la-la.
I don't think of things globally myself, but I kind of would like to think of things where they are tangible and here. Then I can grasp that concept.
If it really offends people then we would take it out. In this instance, the wording isn't serving any purpose, so I would support taking it out.
I always liked the intensity of the recording.
I was listening to the first record the other day, and it sounds remarkably contemporary.
Robin had always wanted to go solo, so when it happened I wasn't angry at all. I understood the situation. But Barry is so full of pride and couldn't understand why Robin had done it.

Without any good songs or being able to perform or entertain, you wouldn't survive. It's about having an equal balance between things.
We recorded this song about six years ago in Australia. It didn't do a bloody thing then, and I don't think this version will do anything today.
We were in the Green Room watching Elvis Costello, and I thought it was pretty good. He still is not that bad. But we were told he was a huge fan.
Tiny Tim? Anyone could sing like that. It's atrocious. It's hideous, really.
You don't only just use your voice, you use support form the lungs and diaphragm and everything gets old, whether you like it or not.
When we write, we complement each other. We wrote six songs, Barry and I, while Robin was ill during the American tour, and they were terrible until Robin came back, and then everything worked out.
Ultimately, yes, it's my name and I have to deliver the goods. But it doesn't happen without a team. So I try and work with the best people I can.
We expected to have a good time with Clive Davis 'cause I've always liked him, his shows. I've sort of followed his career a bit 'cause he had a lot of that on PBS over here.
Discharge is my first. I love Black Flag and all those guys. And Ramones, of course. And then I like Blondie,.. a little lighter.

Climate change will have a significant impact on the environment and on social well-being if the current projections continue through this century.
I am very proud of The Saints and I'm very glad that I've been associated with them all these years, but the next record is the best record... has to be the philosophy for any band that remains even halfway decent or vibrant, and that is kind of where my head's at.
I am of the belief that every couple thousand years someone comes along like Buddha and goes, hey this is what it is! And everybody goes Wow!
