It's hard to decide how to match words to music. It's not like it's twice the work. It's always difficult for me to explain to the composer what I'm looking for. I'm not a professional I lack even basic knowledge about writing music.

I noticed a lot of guitar players neglected the rhythm part of rhythm guitar and decided I would try to focus in that. As my skill and knowledge of the instrument grew I found lead started to come naturally. Sometimes I play guitar like a frustrated drummer. Ha ha!

The question that will decide our destiny is not whether we shall expand into space. It is: shall we be one species or a million? A million species will not exhaust the ecological niches that are awaiting the arrival of intelligence.

Bottom line is I didn't return to Apple to make a fortune. I've been very lucky in my life and already have one. When I was 25 my net worth was $100 million or so. I decided then that I wasn't going to let it ruin my life. There's no way you could ever spend it all and I don't view wealth as something that validates my intelligence.

Everybody in their own imagination decides what scary is.

Then I decided to draw from and on my own imagination and everything came out perfect.

The peculiar fascination which the South held over my imagination and my limited capital decided me in favor of Atlanta University so about the last of September I bade farewell to the friends and scenes of my boyhood and boarded a train for the South.

I always wanted to ride a dragon myself so I decided to do this for a year in my imagination.

Imagination decides everything.

Since the goal of my programs is to show audiences how humor can both help them heal as well as deal with not-so-funny stuff I decided to discuss the events of the previous week the pain all of us were feeling and how humor and some laughter might be beneficial.

I don't remember deciding to become a writer. You decide to become a dentist or a postman. For me writing is like being gay. You finally admit that this is who you are you come out and hope that no one runs away.

Loss of hope rather than loss of life is what decides the issues of war. But helplessness induces hopelessness.

If someone decides to be a musician now it means because there is no hope of money at the end of it it means they really want to be a musician. And if someone is writing now there is no hope for money at the end of it.

I made a real specific decision when I came out of school and most artists were writing about home - if you were a woman you were writing about being a woman - and I decided not to do that write about what you know. That's not what I do. I went as far away from home as possible in terms of the development of my imagination.

They pick all of us out and then they decide they computerize decide if they like it or don't like it and then they go home and then they come back again because they're not sure what they saw.

My wife and I had decided not to let anybody take pictures of our home because it was just the last place on earth we had that was unscathed. But people have climbed over the fence they've taken aerial shots. They've gotten my address and put it on the Internet.

I had a lot of dates but I decided to stay home and dye my eyebrows.

Analogies it is true decide nothing but they can make one feel more at home.

Helplessness induces hopelessness and history attests that loss of hope and not loss of lives is what decides the issue of war.

Unlike any other leader in modern American history we are led today by a president that has decided to pit Americans against each other.

History is the version of past events that people have decided to agree upon.

Prior to passage of Obamacare Americans spoke out against the individual mandate they didn't want to change the health care they had they didn't want a 3 000-page bill that empowered 15 Washington bureaucrats to decide the future of the doctor-patient relationship.

I'm a parent and I try to take care of my health and keep my life in order. In the last few years I've really had to decide what's important to me and it seems to me that my family and my health are top on the list. And those have nothing to do with show business.

When I was on Broadway I got really sick with walking pneumonia. I decided not to take my health for granted anymore and make it a priority. The great thing is the pounds just started to fall off.
