And I'm a believer that you take a negative and turn it into a positive and as it turned out it was one of the best things that ever happened to me. And so I do appreciate the Ranger staff and the Ranger organization for giving me that opportunity.

I turned 54 this year and I find myself feeling like I'm in a bit of a race to get down on paper the way I really feel about life - or the way it has presented to me. And because it has presented to me very beautifully this is hard. It is technically very hard to show positive manifestations.

So there was a fire inside me. And that fire inside you it can be turned into a negative form or a positive form. And I gradually realised that I had this fire and that it had to be used in a positive way.

As I became very defined in my personal politics I turned down some films that I slightly regret now I'm not going to say what they were.

The trouble with us in America isn't that the poetry of life has turned to prose but that it has turned to advertising copy.

Usually a life turned into a poem is misrepresented.

Great classic music that I've been turned on to has not only inspired and influenced me but it has had an effect on my songwriting.

I've always said that Adele has turned so many people on to British singers - whether female singers or just like music from this country in general.

Well the thing about great fictional characters from literature and the reason that they're constantly turned into characters in movies is that they completely speak to what makes people human.

I've turned down twentysomething million dollars for movies.

All morning they watched for the plane which they thought would be looking for them. They cursed war in general and PTs in particular. At about ten o'clock the hulk heaved a moist sigh and turned turtle.

I think I turned to writing really just to wake up in the morning and be a musician and to have something to do and feel like a musician every day even if I wasn't working.

He had written my mother once that he wanted her to be the first thing he saw every morning and the last thing he ever saw. And that's how it turned out.

I turned on VH1 this morning just to get a little warm-up before I came over here and I think it's just terrific. There's so much great stuff: diverse and wonderful music good performances great looking girls great videos the whole thing.

It was really like waking up one morning and going Wow I enjoy being with this person more than anybody else in my life and it just turned out to be mutual.

Driving a motorcycle is like flying. All your senses are alive. When I ride through Beverly Hills in the early morning and all the sprinklers have turned off the scents that wash over me are just heavenly. Being House is like flying too. You're free of the gravity of what people think.

I turned down twelve films last year... Huge money films but I had no respect for the writer or the work.

Money it turned out was exactly like sex you thought of nothing else if you didn't have it and thought of other things if you did.

I think the person who takes a job in order to live - that is to say for the money - has turned himself into a slave.

I had said to some pastor that I was having thoughts and the church turned on me. They went to my mom and said So sorry about your son.

My mom she's from Ireland coached tennis in Nigeria when she was a missionary and turned me on to it when I was young.

My brother Trevor is theatrically trained. I used to watch him when I was younger and I was in love with it. It just seemed really fun to be someone else. So I begged my mom she was hesitant but she eventually allowed me. And it turned out well I guess.

I had no idea of the size of my bank account as a teen and I didn't care to know. That was my mom's job I figured that I would just find out when I turned 18. If you can't trust your mom then who can you trust?

When I turned 18 my mom my nana and I all went and had tattoos of our favorite Bible verses put on the inside of our wrists. Mine is 1st Timothy 4:12.
