I'm a car singer in fact sometimes I pretend to take my dog out for a walk and I'll just drive him around and start singin'.

When I'm in the car sometimes it's like 'Yeah man just put on the pop music.' You know what I mean? I don't want to listen to Tom Waits.

Like all soul singers I grew up singing in church but sometimes I would leave early and sit in the car listening to gospel band The Blind Boys of Alabama. Hearing their lead singer Clarence made me connect the idea of church and show business and see how I could make a career singing music that stirred the soul.

Because I'm a young black man driving a really nice expensive car I sometimes get harassed when I'm rolling through a ghetto neighbourhood.

When I'm in town on Sundays I sometimes go down to the Central Bar in the East Village to watch English football. But my natural inclination now is to get in the car with my wife and kids and get out of town.

Sometimes I feel like I'm not only the engine but the caboose. I have to be in the front car and pull forward and at the same time run around behind and push everybody along with me.

Sometimes movie-making happens like clockwork other times like a car accident.

Sometimes when my wife and I were going out to dinner I would take my laptop with me and work in the car so as to take advantage of the half hour going and coming.

Sometimes I wish I could drive a car but I'm gonna drive a car one day so I don't worry about that.

I have a need to make these sorts of connections literal sometimes and a vehicle often helps to do that. I have a relationship to car culture. It isn't really about loving cars. It's sort of about needing them.

Writing fiction is for me a fraught business an occasion of daily dread for at least the first half of the novel and sometimes all the way through. The work process is totally different from writing nonfiction. You have to sit down every day and make it up.

Sometimes I think our problems are made worse by the kind of business we're in. Playing these road shows is a weird experience.

I've made movies that I thought were good. I've made movies that I thought were okay but then I was very good. And sometimes you're in a movie and you think I wish more people saw that - because you're good. And it just works out that the movie gets lost. But that's show business.

I think in politics in Congress you often do things that are Republican or you do things because you're a Democrat. Sometimes that's good obviously and sometimes that's obviously bad. But in the news business there's no such thing as Republican or Democratic news. News is news.

Baseball just a came as simple as a ball and bat. Yet as complex as the American spirit it symbolizes. A sport a business and sometimes almost even a religion.

I think I could go away tomorrow. I've already accomplished something. It's such a selfish business that sometimes I get sick of myself.

Business and growing jobs is about taking risk sometimes failing sometimes succeeding but always striving. It is about dreams. Usually it doesn't work out exactly as you might have imagined. Steve Jobs was fired at Apple. He came back and changed the world.

I often buy myself presents. Sometimes I will spend $100 000 in one day in a posh boutique.

I don't want to tell President Obama how to make a speech. He's a much better speech maker than I am. But I think always to tell the truth in a sometimes blatant way even though it might be temporarily unpopular is the best approach.

Sometimes the best lighting of all is a power failure.

The best of us must sometimes eat our words.

Confrontation is not a dirty word. Sometimes it's the best kind of journalism as long you don't confront people just for the sake of a confrontation.

Sometimes you get the best light from a burning bridge.

Sometimes you feel awkward being what you're best at you feel like you have to be something new.
