That's why this generation is the least racist generation ever. You see it all the time. Go to any club. People are intermingling hanging out having fun enjoying the same music. Hip-hop is not just in the Bronx anymore. It's worldwide. Everywhere you go people are listening to hip-hop and partying together. Hip-hop has done that.

The '60s was one of the first times the power of music was used by a generation to bind them together.

I travel the garden of music thru inspiration. It's a large very large garden seen?

The spiral in a snail's shell is the same mathematically as the spiral in the Milky Way galaxy and it's also the same mathematically as the spirals in our DNA. It's the same ratio that you'll find in very basic music that transcends cultures all over the world.

Inspiration for my music just comes from you know my life experiences.

Music Rock and Roll music especially is such a generational thing. Each generation must have their own music I had my own in my generation you have yours everyone I know has their own generation.

Teens think listening to music helps them concentrate. It doesn't. It relieves them of the boredom that concentration on homework induces.

Music for me it demands full concentration.

Nothing separates the generations more than music. By the time a child is eight or nine he has developed a passion for his own music that is even stronger than his passions for procrastination and weird clothes.

Times were changing. Clothes were changing. Morals were changing. We went from romantic loves songs like I used to do to rock 'n roll. Now that has changed to rap. So there's always a new generation with new music.

I like movies about longing and desperation and dark and light things stories about people struggling to raise children and to have relationships and be intimate with each other.

As much as I hate his movies Oliver Stone has an aspiration I admire and that is that he wants his art to be part of what makes and changes public policy and cultural practice.

I'm an enormous admirer of Christopher Lee. He's somebody along with Vincent Price who I celebrate and I wanted my movies to show that celebration and that honoring of these great film stars that were unafraid to go into horror and Grand Guignol and the macabre.

In the Rodgers and Hammerstein generation popular hits came out of shows and movies.

You can't wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club.

I am on my way to Ghana tomorrow morning and you just need to know that this Administration is very focused on doing all we can to promote economic development in this part of the world in Africa throughout Africa North Africa and sub-Saharan Africa.

Do I believe in arbitration? I do. But not in arbitration between the lion and the lamb in which the lamb is in the morning found inside the lion.

I eat as much as the next girl but I work my butt of in the gym every morning! The key is moderation. I splurge on the weekend. A big bowl of pasta and a delicious slice of cake for dessert are my favorites.

We have a new generation of very rich people who want to do more with their money than buy a lot of expensive toys. They want to live meaningful lives.

Don't make music for some vast unseen audience or market or ratings share or even for something as tangible as money. Though it's crucial to make a living that shouldn't be your inspiration. Do it for yourself.

Geez all that money we waste on space exploration just think how many bombs that would buy!

My generation will actually be the first generation that is tamer than the one that came before it and it will probably be poorer less fun and less money.

If time is money it seems moral to save time above all one's own and such parsimony is excused by consideration for others. One is straight-forward.

As long as you have a system that is based on the rational that if you are making money you are thereby making a contribution to society these financial rogue practices will continue.
