My work has been marginalized as far as the jazz-business complex is concerned, or the contemporary-music complex.
I wouldn’t trust any man as far as you can throw a piano.
I start from one point and go as far as possible. But, unfortunately, I never lose my way. I ‘localize,’ which is to say that I think always in a given space. I rarely think of the whole of a solo, and only very briefly. I always return to the small part of the solo that I was in the process of playing.
As far as my notoriety or whatever, I haven’t been the star of a hit film.
As far as I’m concerned, I’m a writer who’s writing books, and therefore, I don’t want to die. You’d miss the end of the book wouldn’t you? You can’t die with an unfinished book.
As far as writing, it’s grown because I’ve really grown comfortable with who I am.
As far as Ola is concerned, we are focused and determined to build a business that can sustain and be impactful.
I’m going to write, and after two years, when I’ve quit touring, if a special event comes up that I want to do, by all means I will do it, but as far as a structured tour goes, at the last date of 2014 goes, that will be it for touring.
There are a lot of pros to doing a film, as far as it helping your film career, and it is completely different financially. But theatre is the only place where you get to actually be the character, and nobody is going to come around and change it later.
I’ve been writing since I was very young, even before I was a teenager. As far as I’m concerned, I am a writer – whether my writing’s spoken or written in a blog, paper, book or printed on the side of a submarine.
And as far as actors go, Peter Sellers is my all-time favorite.
As far as I am concerned, LGBT can only stand for leprosy, gonorrhea, bacteria, and tuberculosis, all of which are detrimental to human existence.
I think as far as the music industry is concerned, it’s kind of been the wild, wild West in a way with the Internet, which is not necessarily a bad thing to me.
As far as I can remember, every dime I ever had went to something extravagant. I would rather spend more, buy fewer items and have them forever.
As far as rock groups, I really like Stone Temple Pilots. As for classical composers, it’s Bach. I love Paganini, too, the Italian composer who would break strings during a performance and finish playing on just one string. Someone I would have loved to play with is Jimi Hendrix.
As far as we are concerned, we are ready to leave today, tomorrow, at any time, to join the people of Haiti, to share in their suffering, help rebuild the country, moving from misery to poverty with dignity.
I try to deal with the complexities of power and social life, but as far as the visual presentation goes I purposely avoid a high degree of difficulty.
As far as I know, I have no pride of opinion.
If you’re able to grow up in Nigeria and go through certain things, you’re able to tackle anything around the world because you’re able to live wherever, if you can survive in a city like Lagos or Warri or Niger Delta, as far as I’m concerned.
The most powerful weapon in the world, as far as I’m concerned, is the camera.
As far as the creative side of making great, great albums and really trying to go down in history? I don’t see that happening lately, you know what I mean? You have a lot of guys is talented, but at the same time, timeless music is more important to me.
I’ll always continue to work. I’ve never much depended on anyone but myself, as far as that goes.
As a black artist in America, you know, it is so segregated as far as the radio goes and how they position music on the radio.
I don’t know if Nashville will ever be ousted as the Music City. But I also think that here, over the last few years, Georgia has definitely kind of risen to the top as far as the crop of young artists coming out of this area that are kind of making waves, you know?
Camo never goes out of style as far as I’m concerned.
Follow your image as far as you can no matter how useless you think it is. Push yourself.
Show me one guy or woman as funny as Rodney Dangerfield or as good as George Carlin, Richard Pryor, Bill Cosby, or Joan Rivers. There are a lot of good comics out there, no doubt, but as far as the quality of the comics goes, I think what you have is a bunch of situational comics.
Every American deserves to live in freedom, to have his or her privacy respected and a chance to go as far as their ability and effort will take them – regardless of race, gender, ethnicity or economic circumstances.
When you win a Grammy… you’re thinking about you winning. It is amazing. Your peers and folks in the record business are saying, ‘This is what we think of you.’ And that’s why the Grammy will always be, to me, the ultimate in what you get as far as a music trophy, because it is the one.
As far as oligarchs who acquire sports team abroad, and invest money abroad, I wouldn’t treat this phenomenon as something bad.
French football must go as far as possible in the Champions League.
I feel like I won the Lotto, as far as that show’s concerned.
I think I have an addiction to pretty much everything. I mean, I have to be very careful with myself as far as that goes, which is why I have a support group around me consistently.
I don’t care what the religion is called; as far as I’m concerned, one God, the God I adhere to, is in charge of all of them.
Success has nothing to do with box office as far as I’m concerned. Success has to do with achieving your goals, your internal goals, and growing as a person. It would have been nice to have been connected with a couple more box office hits, but in the long run, I don’t think it makes you happier.
Big Mike Meyer was my real dad as far as I was concerned.
If you can survive ‘Saturday Night Live,’ then you’re good as far as show business is concerned.
I’m not after a closed system, I mean I’m after a complicated system in structure, but as far as watching it, I don’t think that everything should be decided.
I don’t know what it is about ‘Godzilla,’ but as far as I’m concerned, the more versions of it, the better.
I enjoy watching Fear Factor, Newlyweds and American Idol as far as reality TV shows go.
We’re these guys that are very tech-savvy, so people tend to expect us to say our favorite gadgets are thing like the latest iPhone or the latest app or something like that. Adam is pretty much like that. As far as myself, I’m the kind of guy that tends to go for the absolute simplest things.
As far as the customer is concerned, the interface is the product.
There’s an awful lot of choices in the world as far as what one can do for a living. It’s best to be familiar with as many sectors of the working world as you can be so you’ll be better at your creative job anyway.
My favorite one, it depends. As far as rap wise, I like ‘Ask ‘Bout Me.’ I like that one. It’s like a statement: this is who I am. This is why I’m here. If you don’t know, you’re about to find out.
As far as I’m concerned, attraction, in its most rudimentary form, comes from the way a person naturally smells. I’d say that within the first five seconds of ‘inhaling’ someone, I know if there’s an attraction or not. This may sound animalistic – and it is.
You have to really love women in order to really just have a respect for women and love them. No man – I don’t care what kind of man it is, how feminine he is – they never could understand what we go through as far as physically and mentally.
I haven’t really had any experiences, as far as having paparazzi sit outside of my house or following me around on the street. But, I actually don’t really go to places where they do that, unless they knew where I lived or what kind of car I drive.
I guess the two Manifesto, Communicating Vessels, Mad Love, and some of his poetry made a significant mark on me but as far as bringing a literary element into the music I see it as a much broader assimilation.
I am convinced that it is not the fear of death, of our lives ending that haunts our sleep so much as the fear… that as far as the world is concerned, we might as well never have lived.
It didn’t take long to establish myself, as far as people thinking my work was good. They liked it from the start.

As far as advice to potential teenage idols, there is no formula.
I’ve gone through a lot as far as health.
Noir is dead for me because historically, I think it’s a simple view. I’ve taken it as far as it can go. I think I’ve expanded on it a great deal, taken it further than any other American novelist.
As far as I’m concerned, any work you get is because people have heard other work you’ve done.
After playing with Rob Zombie, I was ready to go, ‘OK, this is as far as I’m taking this bass-playing thing. This is the end of the road.’ I was ready to kind of hang it up.
The world has accelerated to the point that, as far as the album as a form, I don’t know if it’s going to last that much longer.
As far as movies, I love ‘The Notebook.’ I always say that I wish I could play Rachel McAdams’ character. She’s amazing. That’s the movie every girl wants to be in.
As far as men go, it is not what they are that interests me, but what they can become.
