We all go a little mad sometimes.
Money is more than a massively consensual IOU note. It is a piece of infrastructure and is as artificial as Interstate 5, NutraSweet or season three of ‘Mad Men.’
When I first heard ‘Pearly Gates’ by Mobb Deep and 50 Cent growing up, the rapper Prodigy had a line about wanting to beat Jesus up. I wasn’t religious, but I’d never been introduced to something like that. I was scared and mad, but then I asked why I felt like that.
It’s mad what each generation vilifies. It’s not necessarily to do with logic.
How would Jonathan Lethem have obtained such a stellar endorsement for ‘The Fortress of Solitude’ from Michael Chabon, if not for the years they spent ghostwriting ‘MAD’ magazine fold-ins together?
Brad was a huge surprise to me. I think we were both the last two people who were looking for a relationship. I certainly wasn’t. I was quite content to be a single mom with Mad.
‘Spectrum’ is in part a disco song. But we play it hard, and it’s a real euphoric, wailing tune. It’s kind of like a total house anthem, in a way, but it seems to be going down really well. We’ve got all the grunge kids going mad for disco house raves.
In the event of a Mad Max-style post-apocalyptic dystopia, people with supplies of food and water could become warlords or chieftains in the social order that emerges out of the rubble.
I’d played dumbasses a lot. On Mad About You, I played a very dumb waitress and they saw me.
The whole Hollywood thing where people want to put me into this ‘quirky-fashionista, daughter of’ category makes me mad because it’s promoting something that I don’t believe in, and it’s not who I am.
If I ever got in the way of Kurt Browning or Elvis Stojko, and they got mad and yelled at me, I’d be, ‘Oh my God! I’m so sorry!’
I got all my politics and culture and my sense of the great wide world of adults from ‘Mad Magazine.’ But all other comic books literally gave me a headache.
I sort of feel like ‘Mad Men’ fans are like sci-fi fans because they are very, very devoted, and they’re very loyal and very excited about it.
Abortion is wrong. I think everyone knows that, which is why abortion activists are so angry all the time. It’s a bit like when you catch someone out in a lie, and they get really mad at you really quickly, and you can’t work out why until later. It’s guilt.
I found myself at the beginning of ‘Mad Men,’ because I wasn’t a sample size, spending an exorbitant amount of money on a nice dress that I would never wear again because someone would say – ‘Christina Hendricks wore this dress twice.’
I got mad love for hot tubs.
I follow politics in a big way, and always have since I was a kid. I’ve got opinions, but they’re opinions on both sides – not just anti-Republican, which is a real popular thing for a rap artist to do. If you dis Republicans, nobody will get mad. I think the two-party system sucks. It’s absolutely ignorant.
I’m very free with all my emotions, whether it’s happy, sad, mad, glad, whatever.
If you were to ask me when I was 17 if I was mad because I didn’t have a deal, I would have probably said, ‘Yeah.’ Now I’m so glad I got it when I got it. People tell you to be patient and wait. Patience is not a virtue of mine, but I think everything definitely happened the right way for me.
Family is a unique gift that needs to be appreciated and treasured, even when they’re driving you crazy. As much as they make you mad, interrupt you, annoy you, curse at you, try to control you, these are the people who know you the best and who love you.
Like in great painting and architecture, in couture, to make clothes you must eliminate, eliminate, eliminate to obtain the true sense of a line. You see, the more you add, the more you load on, the more it’s mad. You must try to have just the silhouette, which is an intelligence in clothes.
When I wrote the song, I had the sea near Bombay in mind. We stayed at a hotel by the sea, and the fishermen come up at five in the morning and they were all chanting. And we went on the beach and we got chased by a mad dog – big as a donkey.
There is only one difference between a madman and me. I am not mad.
After Mad Season, I started writing my own music for Pearl Jam and brought it in. ‘Given To Fly’ came out of that, and so did ‘Faithful’ – those were on ‘Yield,’ which came after Mad Season.
Men in particular think that they have achieved something if they can make a woman mad, particularly if she is calm and intellectual.
I’m not mad when people talk bad about me; that’s the way it is.
About half the scripts sent to me feature characters I just can’t identify with, particularly one-dimensional businessmen or, if it’s a comedy, some absurd 10-year-old Japanese stereotype, some role related to IT or business… There’s no point in getting mad about it; it’s just the way things are.
I’m finally watching ‘Mad Men.’ As a child of the ’60s, I can’t believe how old everything looks! I am the age of baby Eugene.
In ‘Mad Men,’ we watch a group of people who live in a prosperous society that offers happiness and order like never before in history and yet are full of anxiety and unease. They feel there is something more, something beyond. And they feel stuck.
I’ve been around a lot of artists who are also good at business, and… one minute they’ll sound like an artist, and the next minute, they’ll sound like the characters in ‘Mad Men.’ Jay-Z’s a very good businessman, and he talks about it and enjoys it, but he doesn’t shift.
Namibia took my breath away – we were at the border with South Africa, and it was where they filmed ‘Mad Max.’
I don’t watch a lot of television. I try to watch all the good movies, but I’ve got about twenty of these television series that I should be watching. I haven’t seen ‘The Wire.’ I haven’t seen ‘Mad Men.’ I haven’t seen Kevin’s thing. What’s that called? ‘House of Cards.’ I hear it’s wonderful.
‘Mad Men’ doesn’t capture one single thing about the decor, costumes, or sexual interaction. It is a total projection of contemporary snarky attitudes into the past.
I was a huge fan of ‘Mad’ magazine when I was 11, 12, 13 years old. I’d scour used bookstores trying to find back issues, and I’d wait at the newsstand for a new issue to come out. My life revolved around it.
I was a temp for three years in New York when I was auditioning; when I was cast in ‘Mad Men,’ I was still a temp. I’m good at making copies; I’m good at typing things. I’m good at killing the day and making it look like I’m doing something.
I’ve never seen ‘Mad Men.’
Most men are within a finger’s breadth of being mad.
I’m already popular in my city. I was just trying to get rich. Man, I’m not gonna lie to you; I didn’t really want to go back to school. I mean, my family was mad about that. Because, you know, you tell your family you want to rap, and they look at you like you’re crazy.
I wanted to develop a hypnosis show that no-one had ever seen before, so I made it very topical and interesting. I’ve created a UFC fight night every night on stage, where I hypnotise twenty people into thinking they’re mad, crazed UFC fans, and the energy is unbelievable.
I wanted to write a book that talked about the emotions of children, which is the rainbow. We all have moods. We talk about being blue when we’re sad, and being yellow when we’re cowards, and when we’re mad, we’re red.
The only difference between me and a madman is that I’m not mad.
Sometimes Lennon needed McCartney and sometimes Simon needed Garfunkel. You’d go mad doing everything on your own.
I wasn’t that bothered with school; I was too mad into horses. But I liked reading and was good enough at English and always liked music.
I never have tantrums. If anything makes me mad, I’m silent. If I’m not talking, leave me alone.
He is not in the least arrogant. The last album was written in a room in Sussex. He was like a mad professor, spending all day writing and then coming out with brilliant tunes.
I wrote in my first book that I was broken, and now it just makes me mad every time. This is why writing words in books is so precarious. This is why Jesus only wrote in the sand, right? I just – I hate that I wrote that.
I would be sitting in my flat watching TV, and ‘Doctor Who’ would be on with my flatmate there. I would have loved to share the fact that I was the new Doctor, but I couldn’t. I was going mad. My dad was rather flabbergasted. When I told him, he laughed. He was excited, elated and very proud.
I get mad like anybody else does, but being able to laugh about getting mad is very healthy, and my kids know that.
I have seen countless colleagues struggle to come to terms with retirement. I learned a lot from Richard Dunwoody when he was riding, and I completely understand why he took off and undertook what most people consider mad challenges.
For an American, as mad you may be about whatever the EPA or the IRS does, just imagine if you only had a one twenty-eighth vote over what it does. You were in this place with this big bureaucracy that sets rules, and you only have a small vote. You’d feel like you’ve given up your sovereignty, wouldn’t you?
With shows with plus-sized characters, there are all of these lines of being jealous at so and so or mad at so and so for being skinny and their great diets. It’s so all-encompassing and exhausting. I’m not saying that’s not some women, but it’s just not all of us.
