The first movie that I ever said was my favorite movie - and I've said for the longest - is 'The Producers,' Mel Brooks' original 'Producers.' The two lead performances from Zero Mostel and Gene Wilder are both unstoppable performances and then supported by amazing supporting characters throughout.

I have written with some amazing singers and songwriters - the moment with Snoop Dogg was amazing - but being able to tell an Aboriginal story is bigger than anything that I have ever known.

A Boosh fan bought me an original copy of 'The Jungle Book' - like, the first print from 1894 - so I've just started re-reading that and am really enjoying it. But the last book I read in its entirety was 'Willard and his Bowling Trophies,' by Richard Brautigan, which is amazing.

I have a lot of artifacts - books on witchcrafts and talismans. I have a big, big collection of original occult books from the 1800s and 1700s, and some of the oldest books on apparitions and vampires. All original printings. It's not that I'm a crazy believer, I just find it to be amazing research material.

The beauty is that through disappointment you can gain clarity, and with clarity comes conviction and true originality.

But once an original book has been written-and no more than one or two appear in a century-men of letters imitate it, in other words, they copy it so that hundreds of thousands of books are published on exactly the same theme, with slightly different titles and modified phraseology. This should be able to be achieved by apes, who are essentially imitators, provided, of course, that they are able to make use of language.

"Do I have an original thought in my head? My bald head. Maybe if I were happier, my hair wouldn't be falling out.

An original writer is not one who imitates nobody, but one whom nobody can imitate.

To be alive, it seemed to me, as I stood there in all kinds of sorrow, was to be both original and reflection, and to be dead was to be split off, to be reflection alone.

"People like illogical quotes rather than original thinking.

A story doesn't end when everything goes 'Happy-go-lucky, neither does it end by polishing off the obstacles against the goal. It is 'Peace' that needs to be found in each character to revive the nature back to its original form, making ways for another story to begin with.

I've never been completely against the educational system, but I've never been completely for it either. So where does that logic reside??in relevance to the receiver. If it works for you, then it's good for you. But it's not a one size fits all. Some course designers simply don't have the capability to modify exact fit strategies onto certain intellectual shapes and sizes. Originality is the key here, the punchline to all of this (redundant to me) assessing and equating that I implore you to embrace or at the very least consider

I have seen big artist doing song covers for the song that was supposed to be their original songs, because they looked down on another person and turned down a feature, without hearing the song.

Thus Adelaide Lee was born of poor luck and poverty and raised by ignorance and solitude. Let this ignoble origin story stand as an invaluable lesson to you that a person's beginnings do not often herald their endings, for Adelaide Lee did not grow into another pale Larson woman. She became something else entirely, something so radiant and wild and fierce that a single world could not contain her, and she was obliged to find others.

A mind that is stretched to a new idea never returns to its original dimensions.

Art builds upon art, builds upon art...nothing is purely original. We're all inspired by something...or someone. It's a never-ending chain of ideas...and it's magical.

Imitation is not Inspirational, and Inspirational only can give birth to a work of art. The least of man's original emanation is better than the best of borrowed thought.

Anybody with leisure can do that who is willing to begin where everything ought to be begun--that is, at the beginning. Nothing worth calling good can or ever will be started full grown. The essential of any good is life, and the very body of created life, and essential to it, being its self operant, is growth. The larger start you make, the less room you leave for life to extend itself. You fill with the dead matter of your construction the places where assimilation ought to have its perfect work, building by a life-process, self-extending, and subserving the whole. Small beginnings with slow growings have time to root themselves thoroughly--I do not mean in place nor yet in social regard, but in wisdom. Such even prosper by failures, for their failures are not too great to be rectified without injury to the original idea.

Dream your dream; and realize that you are more than just the dreamer, you are the point of origin for its reality.

there is one great truth on this planet: whoever you are, or whatever it is that you do, when you really want something, it's because that desire originated in the soul of the universe. It's your mission on earth.

A person who is truly cool is a work of art. And remember, original works of art cost exponentially higher than imitations. Just take a look at the the coolest people in history. They will always be a part of history for being extremely original individuals, not imitations.

You must be careful not to deprive the poem of its wild origin.

Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility.

"Stop this day and night with me and you shall possess the origin of all poems
