I think of poets as outlaw visionaries in a way.
I always start with characters rather than with a plot, which many critics would say is very obvious from the lack of plot in my films - although I think they do have plots - but the plot is not of primary importance to me, the characters are.
I always think the Sex Pistols and the Ramones as very, very important because they stripped things down.

I rejected some gorgeous publicity shots because they just didn't look like me. I won't wear skanky clothes that show off my booty, my belly or boobs. I have a great body. I could be Britney. I could be better than Britney.

I never got to the point when I felt like running away from it all.
My dad knows the business, and he tells me I've got to do what's best for me.

A man likes his wife to be just clever enough to appreciate his cleverness, and just stupid enough to admire it.
There's a financial cost, but the only costs that are ever real are the costs of our soldiers.
We wanted this war and now we've got it, and I'm not sure that we know what to do with it.
The wars of the future will be fought by computer technicians and by lawyers and high-altitude specialists, and that may mean war will be increasingly abstract, hard to think about and hard to control.
It's good for people to believe in causes larger than themselves.
There's a civic nationalism in Britain and dozens of other countries.

Happiness grows at our own firesides, and is not to be picked in strangers' gardens.

A modern mathematical proof is not very different from a modern machine, or a modern test setup: the simple fundamental principles are hidden and almost invisible under a mass of technical details.
Logic is the hygiene the mathematician practices to keep his ideas healthy and strong.
The constructs of the mathematical mind are at the same time free and necessary. The individual mathematician feels free to define his notions and set up his axioms as he pleases. But the question is will he get his fellow mathematician interested in the constructs of his imagination.

Everybody who looks at the spectacle of modern algebra will be struck by this complementarity of freedom and necessity. 1951.
Our federal income tax law defines the tax y to be paid in terms of the income x; it does so in a clumsy enough way by pasting several linear functions together, each valid in another interval or bracket of income. An archeologist who, five thousand years from now, shall unearth some of our income tax returns together with relics of engineering works and mathematical books, will probably date them a couple of centuries earlier, certainly before Galileo and Vieta.
