What I've learned in my life it's a very interesting social study for me to go back and forth between being the guy at home and being the guy on the road and being the guy in studio and being the guy in the interview. The environment around you has so much to do with your character and when I'm home my character really changes quite a bit.
Atlanta's my musical home. It really was the place where I really came alive.
The only place I've felt was really my home is my cabin up north. There's something in the water there that connects me to that place. There's also this sense of isolation and loneliness about it that I've never been able to shake.
I think that the reason for my success is that I am really not aspirational. I am inspirational in that the people at home feel like they can really relate to me.
I came here in 1974 to do a play and then I went to L.A. I really like living in America. I feel more at home here than anywhere else.
I am a perfectionist but I know how to live life. When I'm working it's 100%. When I'm with my friends I put everything away and enjoy life. When I come home to my kids it's pure joy and everything's worth it. Every time I really focus 100 percent on one thing. I've learned how to juggle my life and I feel like now I have the perfect balance.
Although I have lived in London I have never really considered London my home because it was always going to be a stopping-off point for me and it has been too.
I didn't really seek attention. I just wanted to play the game well and go home.
If anything a lot of electronic music is music that no one listens to at home hardly. It's really only to be heard when everyone's out enjoying it.
However painful the process of leaving home for parents and for children the really frightening thing for both would be the prospect of the child never leaving home.
I don't really consider myself one of those actors who takes his work home with him.
Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars and apartments. Bring the revolution home kill your parents that's where it's really at.
Playing drums feels like coming home for me. Even during the White Stripes I thought: 'I'll do this for now but I'm really a drummer.' That's what I'll put on my passport application.
I learn something not because I have to but because I really want to. That's the same view I have for performing. I'm performing because I really want to not because I have to bring bread back home.
To be honest when I'm home every day is a Friday for me. It doesn't really matter what day it is for me. A lot of my friends actually have time off during the week and so it doesn't prohibit me from enjoying myself when I am home on a Monday or a Tuesday.
There's a continuity between what I care about in any form: I care about it in my music in article-writing in how I dress in how I live in my relationships in how I navigate paparazzi how I decorate my home. There's such a continuity between everything that I don't really care what form it shows up in.
Bad psychoanalysis would say I enjoyed pleasing people working really hard and pleasing people which is probably related to my father in some way. But I really liked working hard. When I worked at Disneyland I'd do 12 hours straight and go home thrilled.
There's really no point in having children if you're not going to be home enough to father them.
I'm lucky because I have a job I love. I really miss being away from home being in my own bed seeing my animals and siblings having my moms cookies. I have a couple cats. I got a kitten about a year ago and now Im going on the road so I wont see him for a while. I feel bad.
Decorate your home. It gives the illusion that your life is more interesting than it really is.
I had a go at changing history - maybe not all by myself - I fought at the battle of Normandy I slogged through the Ardennes and I celebrated the liberation of Paris on the streets with beautiful French girls throwing flowers at me. I said good-bye to my first true love and discovered what I really wanted to do with my life.
I don't really think of things in terms of legacy or where I stand in the history of Nintendo or anything like that.
In my early 20s I studied history and politics and I really thought that perhaps I would devote my life to that.
Jews read the books of Moses not just as history but as divine command. The question to which they are an answer is not 'What happened?' but rather 'How then shall I live?' And it's only with the exodus that the life of the commands really begins.
