The whole celebrity culture thing - I'm fascinated by and repelled by and yet I end up knowing about it.

Americans are fascinated by their own love of shopping. This does not make them unique. It's just that they have more to buy than most other people on the planet. And it's also an affirmation of faith in their country.

I'm fascinated by failure and I'm fascinated by finality. Shakespeare's historical plays are more universal than his comedies because they relate to the finality of life. Without finality life would not be beautiful.

But I have been interested in dreams really since I was a kid. I have always been fascinated by the idea that your mind when you are asleep can create a world in a dream and you are perceiving it as though it really existed.

My dad was kind of a pool shark and had a Frank Sinatra Dean Martin thing going on. I've always been fascinated by the fifties because of him. There was a hip cool anything-goes atmosphere back then but looking good was still a priority.

Well I had a lot of help from my father with the soldering and so on and he was very good at math and was fascinated with computers and so I was fortunate enough to have a bunch of exposure going all the way back to high school - this was in the 1960s.

I mean language fascinates me anyway and different words have different energies and you can change the whole drive of a sentence.

After all it is the divinity within that makes the divinity without and I have been more fascinated by a woman of talent and intelligence though deficient in personal charms than I have been by the most regular beauty.

I'm fascinated by rap and by hip-hop. I think there's a lot of poetry in it. There's a lot of anger a lot of social energy in it. And I think you'd better listen to it pretty carefully 'cause it's important.

I've always been fascinated with the juxtaposition of technology in music not only in recording but in the keyboard. It's amazing the way you can apply technology to an art form.

Everybody knows about Pearl Harbor. The thing that really fascinated me is that through this tragedy there was this amazing American heroism.

I'm fascinated with myself and love hearing the sound of my own voice. I'd like to hear what I have to say. A lot of people don't like being alone because they truly don't like themselves but I love me.
