If the people of New Zealand want to be part of our world, I believe they should hop off their islands, and push 'em closer.
Why would you hire MTV to do music? MTV has nothing to do with music, ok? MTV is to music as KFC is to chicken. MTV is video, and video goes where? In your eye, music goes in your ear. Ear eye, eye ear, big f***ing difference! Music is like a drug, when you hear it you have a vision, and that vision can change over time or remain the same.
I hammer on a theme until I'm tired of it and the audience is tired of it.
The Droid I had actually seemed to have free will, which I thought was interesting.

When you're done [with writing a book], people tell you "Well, gee, I'm not interested." "Great, I'm glad I sat down and wrote this!"
There's a whole group of Christians who believe the individual is more important, but in the end I don't think that's what Christ was talking about.
I do like Guinness, I have to say, because you feel like you're eating something.
