I know it's hard for people to imagine a time when 'Hamilton' wasn't 'Hamilton,' but for years, it was just this little thing that I was telling people about that didn't make any sense to anybody as I was describing it. But I loved it.
I knew David Lynch going to television was going to be something. It was either going to not work, nobody was going to get it and it would disappear, or it was going to be something special and really stand out.
Being a part of 'Sex and the City' was like being at the center of the universe - it was extraordinary.
That Mick Jagger, I feel sorry for him. After all these years he still can't get no satisfaction.
Jay-Z just got that longevity. He can put out anything at any time and everybody will love it. He'll never get old.
Our entire film fraternity should be proud of 'Baahubali.' These are the kind of films that are not made very often.
I have always regarded Mr. Bean as a timeless, ageless character, and I would rather he be remembered as a character mostly in his 30s and 40s.
'The Naked Civil Servant' was as important for me as 'Easy Rider' was for Jack Nicholson. No question.
Popularity's a weird thing. You can't really define it, and it's not cool to talk about, but you know it when you see it. Like a lazy eye, or porn.
I would never say I was an icon, but so many people have said I am, so I suppose I am. I mean, I can't not be what everyone says I am. But I don't feel like an icon.
I certainly never imagined 80-year-olds singing along, like they were watching Cats. I'm fascinated by that kind of pop cultural zeitgeist that it's attached itself to.
'Forrest Gump' was great, it was fabulous. It lasted much longer than anybody thought, and brought me a degree of attention that no human being on the face of the planet deserves.
There is a long and interesting tradition of really marginal left-field music that becomes commercially successful. And I will, for a brief minute, fit into that tradition.
After 'Game of Thrones,' having a character like that, that's like the pinnacle of your career.
Rock n' roll doesn't change. All the idiocies and pretension continue.
'Baahubali' is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
MTV didn't exist in 1980, but by 1982, it had gotten to be a force to be reckoned with.
Being in The Beatles was a short, incredible period of my life. I had 22 years leading up to it, and it was all over eight years later.
In the fact that 'Vogue' is someone that can help guide enormous audiences through this fascinating world, I would like to think we are as influential and actually are now reaching so many more people than we ever dreamt of back in the Fifties or the Sixties.
Michael Jackson, he used to chase relevancy all the time. He always wanted to go a little bigger and better and keep that audience. There was never a point where Michael was going to feel like, 'I've got to play the Nokia, and that's all I'm going to pull in is the Nokia.' That would not have been acceptable.
Punk was over in two years. That was the only damn good thing about it.
I'm glad I did 'Married... with Children,' and I liked making all that money, and we all had a lot of laughs.
Anything to do with the Beatles is very complicated.
It's hard to make a cultural phenomenon every time.
I think K-Pop is a type of expression.
