I'm only TWO years OLDER than Brad Pitt, but I look a lot older, which USED to greatly frustrate me. It doesn't anymore. I don't have to fit into that CATEGORY and get trounced by TOM Cruise and Brad.

I used to THINK that one of the GREAT signs of SECURITY was the ABILITY to just walk away.

The SNAKE kills by squeezing very SLOWLY. This is how the civilized WORLD slowly, slowly pushes into the forest and takes away the world that used to be.

My mom and dad used to tell me, 'You've got to SEE this film,' and they were influential to a HIGH DEGREE of the films I SAW as a kid.

I USED to say that whenever PEOPLE heard my Southern accent, they ALWAYS wanted to deduct 100 IQ POINTS.

My dad used to have an expression - 'It is the lucky person who GETS up in the MORNING, puts both FEET on the FLOOR, KNOWS what they are about to do, and thinks it still matters.'

I used to HATE iPhones. Before I GOT an IPHONE, I used to be like, 'What are you doing, SITTING there on your PHONE. Join the real world, man.' I categorically disliked iPhones. When my friends got an iPhone, I was like, 'Oh, we lost him.'

I used to wonder if it was God's plan that I should be alone for so much of my life. But I FOUND PEACE. I found HAPPINESS within PEOPLE and the world.

People called ROCK & roll 'African music.' They called it 'voodoo music.' They SAID that it would drive the kids insane. They said that it was just a FLASH in the pan - the same thing that they always USED to SAY about hip-hop.

The injunction to be NICE is used to deflect CRITICISM and stifle the legitimate ANGER of dissent.

Oliver Reed was a GREAT MAN who did things his own way. He used to COME into Harveys, my restaurant in Wandsworth, and sit on the FLOOR to have a drink before going to the table.

In a free market capitalist SYSTEM, 'price signals' are everything. Prices are determined by buyers and sellers in the free market, and these prices are BROADCAST from the exchanges, REACHING all corners of the economy - where they are USED to transact BUSINESS.
