When you work with filmmakers, and it's their first film, there's an exuberance and optimism, which is quite... There's no room for being jaded. Thinking that you know it all.
People thought I was very pro-computer. I was on the cover of 'Wired' magazine. Then things began to change. In the early '80s, we met this technology and became smitten like young lovers. But today our attachment is unhealthy.
I love the energy of an independent film set. No one is there for the money. Everyone is there 'cause they really want to be there. It makes all the difference in the world. It's without ego and agenda, other than just wanting to fulfill a creative dream.
Children at once accept joy and happiness with quick familiarity, being themselves naturally all happiness and joy.
There are definitely die-hard fans. That's one thing about people from Brooklyn: they're very loyal, die-hard, believe in their team.
When I went into film, it never occurred to me that I wouldn't be able to do whatever I wanted to do. Maybe that was a good thing in the beginning. I had blinders on, and I charged forward.
I don't feel like anybody can stop me when it comes to music.
Children are great idealists, until the stupidity of their elders puts out the fires of the aspirations.
Great passions may give us a quickened sense of life, ecstasy and sorrow of love, the various forms of enthusiastic activity, disinterested or otherwise, which comes naturally to many of us.
Joyful, joyful, joyful, as only dogs know how to be happy with only the autonomy of their shameless spirit.
My passion lies with whatever I'm doing at the time... I only see what is front of me.
Pick a theme and work it to exhaustion... the subject must be something you truly love or truly hate.
I've hardly had an avant-garde career... If you're going to make a film, you have to try to make sure it comes out of a childlike passion, as if you're doing it for the first time.
The New York crowd is definitely one to voice their opinion. They can be very loud and boisterous.
To the fans, it does not matter a damn how you are. You are seen as the footballer, the idol, so no one thinks to stop and ask you, 'Hey, how are you?'
He came by a leap to the goal of purpose, not by the toilsome steps of reason. On the instant his headlong spirit declared his purpose: this was the one being for him in all the world: at this altar he would light a lamp of devotion, and keep it burning forever.
Children are still the way you were as a child, sad and happy in just the same way-and if you think of your childhood, you once again live among them, among the solitary children.
Passion is the genesis of genius.
I believe any success in life is made by going into an area with a blind, furious optimism.
All I can say is that it's amazing what you can accomplish when you're young and foolish.
I navigate through the world with the excitement and determination of a child. That's why I'm an artist. I'd die without an outlet for expression. Unfortunately, more often than not, that childlike energy is the maturity level I bring to many circumstances.
Even in moments of tranquility, Murray Walker sounds like a man whose trousers are on fire.
I am fine working with debutant directors. They have a freshness about them.
I love it when the director says, 'Rebel, just do whatever you want.' I'm, like, 'Yes!'
I think in 1997, I was in my absolute prime. I was never bitter; I was uninjured. I was ready to go and ready to make some serious changes to make a difference to have my all-time favorite matches that I would have loved to have.
