A writer should get as much education as possible but just going to school is not enough if it were all owners of doctorates would be inspired writers.

I'm very jealous of my daughter's education. She's been inspired by her teachers and nobody inspired me as a teenager.

I was very inspired by Les Blank's film 'Burden of Dreams.' I think what's unique about his film and the two I've made is that they're close examinations of filmmakers and how their own emotional experiences reflect in the material they're rendering and vice versa - how that material sometimes colors their own lives.

The Columbia is lost but the dreams that inspired its crew remain with us.

Obviously one must hold oneself responsible for the evil impulses of one's dreams. In what other way can one deal with them? Unless the content of the dream rightly understood is inspired by alien spirits it is part of my own being.

While I was at college studying design I decided to paint. I was also greatly inspired by the colours that I had seen on my travels in the Brazilian Rain forest.

Design works if it's authentic inspired and has a clear point of view. It can't be a collection of input.

The tragedy of life is in what dies inside a man while he lives - the death of genuine feeling the death of inspired response the awareness that makes it possible to feel the pain or the glory of other men in yourself.

My dad was good friends with the Bad Medicine Blues Band - one of the only blues bands in Fargo as you can imagine! He took me out to see them play when I was 12 years old and I was really inspired by their guitar player Ted Larsen.

I started off playing the clarinet after I was inspired by listening to my dad's Benny Goodman records.

I love being a dad it keeps me fit and inspired and children are so funny. They always supply you with acting material!

I've always been inspired by artists who have shown musical and intellectual curiosity and the courage to take risks.

The name Crow was inspired by a number of things. I thought it would be cool to have a robot with sort of a Native American feel to it.

I am thrilled to be able to bring my vision of beauty to others who may be inspired by it.

Only when inspired to go beyond consciousness by some extraordinary insight does beauty manifest unexpectedly.

I think everybody can agree that you can hear a certain song and it will put you in a certain mood and that's just the beauty of music and I am so inspired by that.

Love is the attempt to form a friendship inspired by beauty.

My sister she's amazing. She sort of inspired me to take this journey to Latin America.

Every now and then I have blissful moments of thanking God for all the amazing things that are happening. When I leave the White House after just meeting Obama or when I see my face on the cover of 'Rolling Stone' or when I meet someone who tells me that their daughter is inspired by me those are moments that are incredibly joyful.

On the stage you alone hold the key and on the night you have to trust that the director has inspired you enough to take the material and run with it.

My mother inspired me to treat others as I would want to be treated regardless of age race or financial status.

I'm inspired by people who keep on rolling no matter their age.

Old age adds to the respect due to virtue but it takes nothing from the contempt inspired by vice it whitens only the hair.
