Every summer in my old area, Bow, these kids from across the road used to bring out quad bikes in the park. They let me have a go, and I don’t know what was wrong with me, but I drove straight into a gate and fractured my big toe. I had this mad limp for ages.

When the gate drops, it’s time to try and execute the best you can.
A band in our position, we have a first impression to make. We don’t want to come out of the gate and make people sad. I think we consciously made that choice to keep it happy and up.

Go on thinking that you don’t need to be read and you’ll find that it may become quite true: no one will feel the need tom read it because it is written for yourself alone; and the public won’t feel any impulse to gate crash such a private party.

When this happens, the rules become the basis for the relationship and, in a sense, become a substitute for the relationship.
People are released from prison so unprepared. They give you $200. We call it gate money. And you have to pay for a bus ticket back to L.A. You get off the Greyhound bus, downtown Skid Row, and you’re supposed to make a life from that.
I think I subconsciously knew you needed life experience to direct, and the best films are directed by people who have really lived, with exceptions like Orson Welles, who just burst out of the gate. There are prodigies like that, but for me, personally, I thought I needed life experience.

Now that I think about it, I was arrested in 1992. Some people may think of that as a bad thing, but I feel good about it.

I’ve seen plenty of films where the projector broke. The problems that we have in the digital age are exactly the same as we had. Instead of, ‘There’s a hair in the gate,’ it’s, ‘The computer ate the footage.’ There will always be things like that going on. Nothing is perfect.
Both in thought and in feeling, even though time be real, to realise the unimportance of time is the gate of wisdom.

Wake up, Christians of Tennessee. Islam is at your gate. Do not make the mistake which Europe made. Do not allow Islam to gain a foothold here.
The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco is for the community of San Francisco. And the Brooklyn Bridge, which is one of the most magnificent bridges ever built, is also a monument to the community, you see.
We have no desire to permanently rule over millions of Palestinians, who double their numbers every generation. Israel, which wishes to be an exemplary democracy, will not be able to bear such a reality over time. The Disengagement Plan presents the possibility of opening a gate to a different reality.
In 1986, wrestling was so huge in Charlotte that we did four events at the Coliseum with the Rock ‘N’ Roll and the Midnights in a 10-week period – and sold almost 45,000 tickets and drew almost $400,000 at the gate.

There was someone from China who came down to my house and locked himself outside the gate. He wanted to marry me and created a lot of trouble. I had to eventually report to the police and put him behind the bars.
