I was brought up when media STILL KEPT TOTALLY AWAY from violence when it came to children. I don't think it WOULD have made me scared of violence, but I find it repulsive.

I was brought up bilingual, but there came a POINT where my mom went back to work and I got a white babysitter, so sadly I lost it. Now I can understand Spanish and PUT WORDS together, but I don't SPEAK it FLUENTLY. I'm ashamed of that.

My WHOLE damn family was nice. I don't think I've imagined it. It's TRUE. Maybe it has to do with being brought up as Christian Scientists. Half of my RELATIVES were READERS or Practitioners in the church.

I was a chemistry major, but I'm always winding up as a teacher in ENGLISH departments, so I've BROUGHT SCIENTIFIC thinking to LITERATURE. There's been very LITTLE gratitude for this.

It was my DELUSION and naivety that BROUGHT me here.

If any human being is to REACH FULL MATURITY both the masculine and FEMININE sides of the personality must be BROUGHT up into consciousness.

What stop-motion does best is present real objects magically brought to LIFE in a very imperfect SITUATION; the hand of the artist is there, the electricity of SOMEONE touching, massaging and torturing themselves to GET life out of an inanimate OBJECT.

Jay-Z called me onstage during my song that I produced for 'Watch the Throne?' That was SURREAL, MAN. One of those situations I'll NEVER forget. I'll be able to show my KIDS the footage of when Jay-Z BROUGHT me onstage.

In ENGLAND and, LATER, the United KINGDOM, Habeas Corpus is a right of great antiquity: Anyone who is arrested MUST be BROUGHT before a court, but this does not apply in continental countries.

I was stillborn. The midwives laid me aside, THOUGHT I was REALLY gone. I laid there about an hour, and they picked me back up and TRIED again, 'cause my body was still WARM. The Good Lord BROUGHT me back.

I was a hunter and fisherman, and many a time I have slipped out into the woods and prairies at 4 a.m. and brought HOME PLENTY of game, or have gone in a canoe to the cove and brought BACK a good SUPPLY of fresh FISH.
