But it's much more exciting to make Die Hard. One of the reasons that I think that movie is so successful is it deals with those very important blue-collar relationship themes. But it's more visually beautiful to show things blowing up. It just gives you more on the screen.

I mean you know I get a tremendous positive charge every day just from knowing these kids and who they are. I mean Larry my 12-year-old son is my hero in life. Could there be a greater privilege than that? I mean I can't imagine anything that would be more exciting.

On a summer night it can be lovely to sit around outside with friends after dinner and yes read poetry to each other. Keats and Yeats will never let you down but it's differently exciting to read the work of poets who are still walking around out there.

I think that great poetry is the most interesting and complex use of the poet's language at that point in history and so it's even more exciting when you read a poet like Yeats almost 100 years old now and you think that perhaps no one can really top that.

An experienced reader uses the poem as an agent of inquiry. This makes poetry very exciting unstable and interactive.

Poetry is the language we speak in the most terrifying or ecstatic passages of our lives. But the very word poetry scares people. They think of their grade school teachers reciting 'Hiawatha' and they groan.

Most Italians who came to this country are very patriotic. There was this exciting possibility that if you worked real hard and you loved something you could become successful.

It's a great event to get outside and enjoy nature. I find it very exciting no matter how many times I see bald eagles.

I love rock-n-roll. I think it's an exciting art form. It's revolutionary. Still revolutionary and it changed people. It changed their hearts. But yeah even rock-n-roll has a lot of rubbish really bad music.

I just go with the flow so any style can be in my music - that makes it exciting.

So it was out of necessity that Blackheart was born. I think it's great that now 25 years later we're not only putting out our own music but are able to put out music by other bands. That's really exciting for us.

I'll tell you what I really enjoy. We all go to the movies we all watch television we know what they're about how they work. When the main character is a cop or a spy it's very exciting but I also very much enjoy when the main characters are nobodies - a trucker.

For me growing up Christmas time was always the most fantastic exciting time of year and you'd stay up until three in the morning. You'd hear the parents wrapping in the other room but you knew that also maybe they were in collusion with Santa Claus.

I try to make films that I find exciting. It makes me want to get out of bed at five in the morning have my make-up done and play for the rest of the day.

I've had an exciting time I married for love and got a little money along with it.

I really haven't had that exciting of a life. There are a lot of things I wish I would have done instead of just sitting around and complaining about having a boring life. So I pretty much like to make it up. I'd rather tell a story about somebody else.

Reading a script is usually as exciting as reading a boilerplate legal document so when you read one that makes you feel as if you're seeing the movie you know it's something different.

I think kids slowly begin to realize that what they're learning relates to other things they know. Then learning starts to get more and more exciting.

People always ask me if I could live in any other era what would it be and I tell them none! I feel so lucky to live in an age where technology has changed and continues to change and make life so much more exciting. It keeps everyone young and constantly learning new things.

I've never gone to acting school and I never will so I'm learning about the business from the people who are in the business. It doesn't seem like I work at all. And the unknown is always exciting.

My father is a chemist my mother was a homemaker. My parents instilled in us the feeling that learning was the most exciting thing that could happen to you and it never ends.

I supported my friend Congressman Shuler over former Speaker Nancy Pelosi during our party's leadership elections in November citing a need for new leadership.

The 9/11 Commission recently released their report citing important changes which need to be made to improve our nation's homeland security. I voiced my disappointment with the House leadership when this report was left until after the August recess for action.

A jazz musician can improvise based on his knowledge of music. He understands how things go together. For a chef once you have that basis that's when cuisine is truly exciting.
