I never think about the actual process of writing. I suppose I have a superstition about examining it too closely.
I have always enjoyed vampire stuff without ever having been a full vampire geek. I suppose I love the idea of blood thirst because it can say so much about us, not simply about addiction but about all those desires that can tear a family apart.
Bankruptcy, divorce, these are feathers in my cap, I suppose. I have a wisdom which has been born from these things.
If you’re not getting work, make your own work. I think that’s a good mentality. I suppose I take my drive from my mother and my practicality from my father.
My own suspicion is that the universe is not only queerer than we suppose, but queerer than we can suppose.
My vanity is not remotely physical, it is cerebral. I suppose feeling self-conscious might be a form of vanity, though.
I was concerned about doing the right thing when I was a kid. I suppose as a child, you’re a massive egomaniac, and you think that everything you do is going to affect the world.
Originally, I didn’t play any New Order when I deejayed. I suppose it comes from being a little embarrassed or humble or whatever. But people were coming to see me because of New Order, so in the end, I had to realize that if they were using my name on the poster, then maybe I should play some of the music.
I suspect that perfect happiness is not possible for me. I suppose if I was ever selected for eternal life – the moment I was informed – that would bring me the closest.
I mean, it’s the life lessons that I suppose you learn that nobody gets a free ride and that you do the best you can with the means that you can and try to open yourself to as much knowledge and all that that you can.
My parents emigrated from Poland in 1924 with my brother, who was a few months old. They were from a simple family of Polish Jews. They were looking, I suppose, for a better economic life and were escaping from an anti-Semitic environment.
I would absolutely like to play more leading roles. There’s no philosophy – well, the only philosophy, I suppose, is to try and do different things.
There are numerous bugbears in the profession of a politician. First, ordinary life suffers. Second, there are many temptations to ruin you and those around you. And I suppose third, and this is rarely discussed, people at the top generally have no friends.
When I was a little kid, no matter what my parents told me, I would always argue – even if I agreed with them. And I’ve always been a show-off. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve found ways to be more subtle about it, but that’s the way I am. I suppose that has something to do with why I write and direct.
I’ve come to realize I’m more spiritual than I am religious. What I mean by this: As far as praying to God goes, I’m more about looking inside for inner guidance – tapping into our own abundantly powerful inner resources – which, I suppose, is where some might say God does indeed reside.
I just want people to hear the music the way it’s suppose to sound, the way we meant for them to hear it. You sit in the studio all this time and make the music, tweak it, try to get it perfect. They should be able to hear it that way.
We live in a fast-paced culture where we’re asked to make snap decisions all day long, so I suppose cash-point donations feed into the immediacy of our life experience. So it’s a great idea. But I think it needs careful handling.
I have some pretty forceful ideas about the world – obviously I do. But I suppose I can only really speak about them from within the protection of a literary form.
I’m a child of the Disney Renaissance, so the new classics are near and dear. I suppose this is a legend more than a fairy tale, but ‘Mulan’ is easily my favorite. Not only is it a fun, action-packed, beautiful movie, but it’s so important for young girls to have.
There have been many different artists that have been inspirational. I suppose the question is directed to what was the reason why I went into fantasy illustration.
Many luckless people imagine that romance is dead: some, overcivilised, fondly suppose that there never was romance: a poet tells us that romance is unrecognised though really present: but scientists can meet him daily, walking at large and undisguised in the world.
The idea that people are watching me now is a bit unnerving, but I suppose it comes with the territory. It is, perhaps, the modern side of celebrity.
Phoenix and Las Vegas have grim long-term prospects. On top of oil-and-gas problems, they will have terrible problems with water and the ability to produce food locally. I suppose it shows how delusional the public is, and how our institutional controls have decayed – for instance, lending standards.
I sort of mind living in a time when most of the literature is terribly personal. I suppose it’s because I grew up on a love of history, philosophy, science and religion, but not to think too much about yourself.
The Border Ballads, for instance, and the Robin Hood Ballads, clearly suppose a state of society which is nothing but a very circumscribed and not very important heroic age.
Where I come from people are very deadpan with a dry humour that I suppose rubbed off on me.
I suppose women are attracted to the bad-boy image sometimes because it’s fun to have an adventure. It’s like eating junk food… it’s fun at the time, but ultimately not the best choice.
When do you suppose the electric guitar was invented? If you thought the 1950s, you’d be wrong. If you can muster a recollection of hearing electric guitar in Lionel Hampton’s big band in the 1940s and date it to that decade, you’d still be off – by more than 30 years.
I suppose what’s unique about our presentation is the amount of Scripture that kids get.
We were very poor and my family lost everything during the war – our home and our identity. But I’m a believer in luck and think the social conditions you’re born into provide the opportunity for you to prove your luck. And I suppose I’ve been lucky.
The hero of the ‘Peanuts’ is Charlie Brown. I play the dog that sleeps on the top of his dog box who’s a philosopher. I’m drawn to that. So I’m drawn to Barbossa as I’m drawn to Einstein, because they are outsiders, and I suppose, as a character actor, that’s the turf that you’re locked into, in a way.
Suppose Watergate had not been uncovered? I’d still be on the City Desk.
I suppose it’s amazing how quick life goes by when you have children.
When I first started acting, and we would all sit down and talk about Shakespeare and how great it was. I thought well, I suppose it is.
I like being able to play women that are growing or aren’t easy to love. Maybe they are really likable, but they’re annoying because they’re not tapping into who they’re suppose to be. You’re watching them, and you’re like, ‘Oh, why does she keep making this decision?’
I’ve never been too afraid of what other people have said, especially when I was younger, but I suppose that was the arrogance of youth.
I do suffer from depression, I suppose. Which isn’t that unusual. You know, a lot of people do.
I would like to think I am a little bit of a man’s man and a ladies’ man. I suppose, I’m a guy’s guy because I like to do a lot of, you know, the man stuff: Working out, off-roading, getting on the dirt bike and what not. I am a ladies’ man because I spend more time with girls than I do with guys.
I suppose we are what we are, and we use the evidence to confirm what we believe.
I’d always wanted a challenge and I suppose that’s why I’ve always wanted to go into pop music, because I want to be seen as someone that broke the record.
When we describe what the other person is really like, I suppose we often picture what we want. We look through the prism of our need.
I suppose to the outside world I do seem slightly obsessed. But I once had a balance problem with my inner ear, and the fear loitered. Yet I have found that golf is like a yoga procedure for me: it’s had wonderful, sedative, remedial qualities for my day-to-day life.
I do not think it possible for anyone to get by in life without prejudice. However, the attempt to do so leads many people to suppose that, in order to decide any moral question, they have to find an indubitable first principle from which they can deduce an answer.
Politics is a very male-dominated, male-driven profession. I was not just a woman but a young woman, and I suppose you end up trying to behave in a way that you think is expected of you.
I suppose I sort of like effects that have some organic elements rather than ones that are entirely generated by a computer. Just because, no matter how complex the algorithm is, it’s still an algorithm.
Living in London has become incredible. I suppose it’s easy to love where you live if you love what you’re doing. But this is not just a visit: it’s my home.
I suppose one should have an integrated personality, but I’ve never really seen the point.
So I suppose that means we can actually play the instruments.
I’m not tough, and I never have been. I suppose over the years I’ve built up kind of a veneer to protect myself because I have functioned on my own for a long, long time, and I have never had a lot of flunkies preceding me to clear the way.
There’s a disease that young writers are susceptible to, which is, I will do this because I can – hubris, I suppose – without stopping to work out why.
