There has certainly been criticism of the timing involved in getting help to the victims of the storm, and much of it may indeed be warranted. However, this is not the time for pointing fingers; rather, it is the time for offering a helping hand to our neighbors in need.

I was born with six fingers on each hand.

I don’t get sick much because in the U.S. I always eat with my fingers, you know, to get used to the bacteria.

Between the ages of 18 and 20, I made three hour-long films. One was a superhero film called ‘Carbolic Soap.’ One was a cop film called ‘Dead Right.’ And the other was called ‘A Fistful Of Fingers.’

Baltimore, it’s been an amazing place and experience. It’s opened my eyes a little bit just of other organizations. I’m proud to be a part of this team, proud to be part of this group of men that really challenged each other, never pointed the fingers, never turned our backs on each other.

I’ve been in situations where if I’d been careless I could have been missing some fingers or a hand or something like that, or a very, very bad bleed or whatever.

I am truly happy with what I’ve got. But if I could alter something, it would be my hands. I’ve never been satisfied with them – I would love longer fingers.

A pen is different from the pad, the key, moving your fingers across a screen. I like both. I like to work on sketchbooks, big old white sketch paper. I like how that feels, and I like to put different media on it. Then there’s the phone, smartphone, iPad: It’s the new page, and it’s not the same page anymore.

I never dreamed we would be on television at all, much less for such a long time and with so much praise for keeping a thought provoking show on the air. And best of all, we were able to do what we do and still have all our fingers and toes.

I’m keeping my fingers crossed for good roles to come my way.

When I’m on the road for fashion shows, I love room service. I think it’s one of the greatest things in the world. I usually like to keep it simple with soup, but my big indulgence is French fries or chicken fingers.

Fingers don’t have much to do with playing the piano. The idea that they do must be unlearned.

Language is a skin: I rub my language against the other. It is as if I had words instead of fingers, or fingers at the tip of my words. My language trembles with desire.

As an architect, I always have mixed feelings. On the one hand, your fingers are itching. As a human being, you are happy to participate in the indolence.

It’s football – I would play with seven fingers if I had too, man.

Piano is one of those instruments you don’t have to be good at to sound good – you just have to know where to put three little fingers, which is really pretty easy to figure out.

What it really comes down to, especially in metal, is that the bass needs to cut through, so you go to the pick for that effect. But when you have a certain feel about the music and really dig in to get a big growl, you have to go with the fingers, because you’re not going to get it with a pick.

The fingers must be educated, the thumb is born knowing.

What the public hates the most is when they think the politicians aren’t listening to them. They understand that we can’t solve all their problems with a snap of our fingers, but they sure want us to try because we are public servants.

I am not one of these guys that looks to the locker room and points fingers. That has never been my MO.

Music and musical instruments were proximal to my life from very early on – I took piano lessons for a brief time, but then my dad had a guitar and when he was not playing it, I would pick it up and mess with it. He jokes that I used to complain that it hurt my fingers.

A basketball team is like the five fingers on your hand. If you can get them all together, you have a fist. That’s how I want you to play.
