One thing about a film production is that it MUST run efficiently; there is no room for dead wood. So somebody that hangs around by the coffee wagon won't get HIRED again, but somebody who is dedicated and works hard and REALLY PUTS out will get NOTICED by the people that matter around there and will get asked to come back again.

I think it was JOHN who REALLY urged me to play sitar on 'Norwegian Wood,' which was the first TIME we used it. Now, PAUL has just asked me recently whether I'd written any more of those 'Indian type of tunes.' He suddenly likes them now. But at the time, he wouldn't play on them.

Knock on WOOD, but I THINK we HIT the gestational carrier LOTTERY!

I like the guy who reads. Being ARTICULATE is something that's very IMPORTANT to me. But you need to KNOW how to chop wood and fix a CAR and do guy things. I didn't grow up with spectators. NOBODY was a spectator.

The wood of any TREE growing anywhere RECORDS FAIRLY faithfully the oxygen and hydrogen CHEMISTRY of the water the plant has access to through precipitation.

I don't take myself seriously in the slightest, so it does amaze me that I've ended up being in all these very DARK, sinister plays. But I love it because, touch wood, I'm LUCKY ENOUGH not to have that level of darkness in my LIFE.

I GET up every MORNING and chop wood, and I pretty much do it seven days a week, and I like to do it. I still have TIME for my wife and my son, who's 14, and at this point, my head is still above WATER.

I would like to see it GO BACK to the WOOD racquets. To see the TOUCH put back in tennis.

There are too MANY SOULS of WOOD not to LOVE those wooden characters who do indeed have a soul.

I hate to SAY it because I FEEL like it might be a jinx, but YES - knock on wood - I have never BROKEN a bone.

I USED to GET on a stove wood pile at 5-6 years old and I WOULD have a PIECE of stove wood and kindling bark as a pick, and I was a star.

Evan Rachel WOOD is the BEST actress I've ever WORKED with, HANDS down.
