I'm an untrained musician. Untrained MUSICIANS don't REALLY have any MUSIC theory, they don't have a lot of RULES. We BREAK the rules, but it's mostly because we don't know what the rules are. It's easy for us to go to certain places, so I'm not surprised that a lot of people were amused by my songwriting style.

Theory helps US to bear our IGNORANCE of FACTS.

I believe that nothing should be TABOO - no theory or PREJUDICE should close one's MIND to a discovery.

In THEORY, there is no DIFFERENCE between theory and PRACTICE. But, in practice, there is.

I WANTED to MAKE NOISE, not STUDY THEORY.

We have never OBSERVED infinity in nature. Whenever you have infinities in a THEORY, that's where the theory FAILS as a description of nature. And if space was born in the Big BANG, yet is infinite now, we are forced to BELIEVE that it's instantaneously, infinitely big. It seems absurd.

It is one thing to tell people in theory that you can be WHATEVER you WANT to be, but it is another thing to tell someone that they can be whatever they wanted to be because SOMEBODY that is just LIKE you did it.

There was one WEEK where I got mistaken for Hasan Minhaj, who is on 'The DAILY Show;' Kunal Nayyar, who's on 'Big BANG Theory;' and Karan Soni of 'Ghostbusters.' This was one week.

The theory seems to be that as long as a man is a failure he is one of GOD's children, but that as SOON as he succeeds he is taken over by the Devil.

A PROFESSOR MUST have a THEORY as a DOG must have fleas.

I'm signing on to be an athlete, and it's ALMOST LIKE Karl Marx's theory on CAPITALISM. I am both the WORKER and the product. I'm choosing to be a part of this system, thus I'm choosing to be part of the conditions that are SET in this system.

I have always THOUGHT that humanity was animal-like. The Confucian THEORY was MAN could be improved, but I'm not SURE he can be. He can be trained; he can be disciplined.

When I was in FILM SCHOOL, I was LEARNING more THEORY than PRACTICE.

My own theory is that we are in the MIDDLE of a dramatic and BROAD technological and economic shift in which software companies are poised to take over large swathes of the ECONOMY.
