We actors can't say every line as if it has weight, but what we want to do is be true to the meaning of each line, whatever it is. Even the lines that are throwaway may come back later.
If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.
Places are fragmentary and inward-turning histories, pasts that others are not allowed to read, accumulated times that can be unfolded but like stories held in reserve, remaining in an enigmatic state, symbolizations encysted in the pain or pleasure of he body. 'I feel good here': the well-being under-expressed in the language it appears in like a fleeting glimmer is a spatial practice.
Without music, life would be a mistake.
Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy.
I define connection as the energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued; when they can give and receive without judgment; and when they derive sustenance and strength from the relationship.
I think, fundamentally, music is something inherently people love and need and relate to, and a lot of what's out right now feels like McDonalds. It's quick-fix. You kind of have a stomachache afterwards.
Like the collector, the photographer is animated by a passion that, even when it appears to be for the present, is linked to a sense of the past.
There is always space for good music.
Every time you come out with an album or a song, you want to feel like you're growing a bit in what you are and giving people something that they can feel.
All health and success does me good, however far off and withdrawn it may appear; all disease and failure helps to make me sad anddoes me evil, however much sympathy it may have with me or I with it.
John Prine in particular... just the chord changes combined with the words. He definitely can make you cry a little bit. Just a little bit.
Music transcends language. BTS communicates with our fans by staying true to ourselves and believing in music every day.
I saw that my best work was my most personal work, which is odd, because my fiction is very far afield and has nothing to do with my life.
I think a lot of my songs are very silly and very stupid, written to entertain people, but in the end, I always come to that last line, and I feel that I have to wrap this up with a bit of dignity and a little tear in the eye; otherwise, the joke would be on the characters in the song.
People will never forget how you made them feel.
I started out with V Shantaram. But my favourite director has been Gulzar, with whom I did intelligent cinema in movies like 'Khushboo,' 'Kinara' and 'Parichay.'
Ultimately, I don't think you can be a character who's completely alien or divorced from your own personality. It's probably true of every writer - it's probably true of every filmmaker, every songwriter - that, ultimately, every character you create is a facet of yourself.
I guess I'm trying to write stuff that I, as a viewer, would connect to.
Why is it that words like these seem dull and cold? Is it because there is no word tender enough to be your name?
Without music, life would be an error. The German imagines even God singing songs
I remember playing John Wayne Gacy, serial killer, very sick, neurotic, screwed-up guy. You know what? There's a part of me there, too, and you explore that.
I don't need to have my convictions confirmed by a show of numbers. However, being among people in front of a band leads me to believe that all is not lost, that humans, now and then, can communicate on a higher level than the political and the practical.
Art is never decoration, embellishment; instead, it is work of enlightenment. Art, in other words, is a technique for acquiring liberty.
Once you have read a book you care about, some part of it is always with you.
