Stuff Quotes - page 76
I don't want to be full of myself. I really have fun when I'm working, and I don't want to not have fun when I'm working, because I'm trying to convince myself that I'm ‘somebody'. I don't like it, and I don't enjoy other people who are like that. And that's one of the reasons why doing smaller-budget stuff is really good. You don't run into that so much...
Brad Dourif
There's a lot of people who don't want anything from me but to laugh and have a good time. You see them at the show and they like - they dress up to come see your show and stuff. And they pack these auditoriums and it's a lot of fun, man. It's like, this is how I started, and it's still fun for me.
Dave Chappelle
I have a better understanding of my body now. ... Everyone wants to feel fresh in the game – there's no better feeling – so I just make sure I'm doing the right things and trying to tick every box: cryotherapy, massage, eating the right things. ... I think I've managed [to adopt veganism] successfully. ... I don't find anything hard to give up, as such, because I know the feeling scoring goals gives me. ... I just want to try to play as long as I can. So I do the stuff that will give me the best opportunity to perform and score goals.

Jazz music is a lifestyle. It's not notes, chords and arpeggios. Today's improvisation is too based on the knowledge of chords and the way they practice the chords. It's not a melodic thing anymore like the older days. It was much more important to play shorter and to play more variable, valid stuff. Today, a lot of solos are long and uninteresting and the influence usually comes from John Coltrane's group. He himself was a master musician, but he put so much emphasis on chord knowledge and technique, and now the kids want to show how fast they can play. This is the same with piano players and most instrumentalists-it's speed. That's gonna change again and hopefully the kids who are now 16 and 17 years old have a little more sense and maybe some more stories to tell.

I feel like people want to be surprised when they get out of the movies. They want something thrown at them they didn't expect. They want stuff that reminds them of the feelings that you get when you're watching art house movies but with the fun of like a big summer movie. That's the goal, I guess.
