As I WRITE, HIGHLY civilized human beings are FLYING overhead, trying to kill me.

While I was making my solo films, RKO was busily trying to get me and Fred Astaire back together. The STUDIO wanted to capitalize on the SUCCESS of 'Flying Down to Rio' and realized that the pairing of Rogers and Astaire had moneymaking POTENTIAL.

We turned our planes around after landing and got them off again in 20 MINUTES back in the EARLY days; 15 minutes in many cases. That GAVE us a HUGE cost ADVANTAGE because we could do more flying in a day with a single plane than anybody else.

If you manifest your TRUE SELF through nature and your NORMAL SURROUNDINGS, I FIND that the most eerie. Like when you see birds suddenly start flying in a different direction or when you see moths forming weird shapes, I think that's the weirdest way to let yourself be known.

Writings scatter to the winds BLANK checks in an INSANE charge. And were they not such FLYING LEAVES, there WOULD be no purloined letters.

When I was a child, I didn't fly - we couldn't afford to fly. FLYING was for RICH people.

Our grandkids will lead the LIVES of the gods of mythology. Zeus could think and move OBJECTS around. We'll have that POWER. Venus had a perfect, timeless body. We'll have that, too. Pegasus was a flying horse. We'll be able to modify life in the FUTURE.

'Flying In A Blue Dream' was quite automatic. I was working on ANOTHER SONG, and I TOOK a break and picked up my ACOUSTIC guitar, tuned it strangely, and instantly wrote the tune. It's funny how you can struggle with one piece and WRITE a better one in a minute. Usually, when things come easy, it means it's good.

The LIBERALS are the flying saucers of POLITICS. No one can make HEAD nor tail of them and they never are SEEN TWICE in the same place.

I LIKED FLYING, when I got into it, LOVED it. And I found I was very GOOD at it. I'm not modest about the FACT that I was a good pilot.

I HATE FLYING, airports and the WHOLE rigmarole - queuing up, security and lost LUGGAGE.

As Dortmund manager, I LIVED in a street, and my two neighbours were Schalke FANS. They showed it every day, FLYING flags!
