Our dead are never dead to us, until we have forgotten them.
If you’re into a leather-jacketed crime fighter and his artificially intelligent robotic supercar, tune into ‘The Good Wife.’ If, on the other hand, you prefer the misadventures of a freelance itinerant trucker and his simian sidekick, check out ‘The Walking Dead.’ Or DVR them both and go talk to your family.
Whoever says Real Madrid are dead is always proved wrong in the long term.

Somebody said to me this morning, ‘To what do you attribute your longevity?’ I don’t know. I mean, I couldn’t have planned my life out better. By all accounts I should be dead! The abuse I put my body through: the drugs, the alcohol, the lifestyle I’ve lived the last 30 years!

Dead people don’t really die. They live on within you.

Before college, I acted in my room, to classical music, because music tells stories. I’d put on a record and proceed, silently. I’d keep putting the needle back to a certain segment because I hadn’t died well enough. I had to really, really feel dead. I’d love to do a death scene.
The dead govern the living.
Rufus? He’s a grand kisser, and he’s dead sexy.

I’m definitely a morning person. I wake up dead happy, looking forward to having my cereal!
You play a ‘lowdown dirty shame slow and lonesome, my mama dead, my papa across the sea I ain’t dead but I’m just supposed to be’ blues. You can take that same blues, make it uptempo, a shuffle blues, that’s what rock n’ roll did with it. So blues ain’t going nowhere. Ain’t goin’ nowhere.
There was a time Michael Jackson couldn’t get his video on MTV because he was considered to be ‘urban.’ The Michael Jackson. So I literally have to be the Michael Jackson of apparel in order to break down the doors for everyone who will come after I’m gone, after I’m dead.

The word ‘iconic’ is used too frequently – an icon is a statue carved in wood. It was shocking at first, when I got that reference. It was a responsibility, and it’s impossible to live up to – you’re supposed to be dead, for one thing.
