husband thinking way
I think I'm an observer in a way. And my life was not so - well, my life was bad too - but it's just that I had the sense to cope with it. But it's probably not that easy to cope if you're in a society where you get killed when your husband dies.
being-thankful crumbling way
I did not break up the Beatles. You can't have it both ways. If you're going to blame me for breaking the Beatles up, you should be thankful that I made them into myth rather than a crumbling group.
girl thinking way
If I was a Jewish girl in Hitler's day, I would become his girlfriend. After ten days in bed, he would come to my way of thinking.
copying way
The only way you can better John is by copying him exactly.
mind wish way
Unclog your mind. Unclog your room. Arrange your room in a way you wish your mind would be.
way scared truth-comes-out
Is truth always positive? Of course. Once the truth comes out, you know, it's all right. We're scared that if the truth comes out that it's not all right. It's the other way around.
people mind way
I have to be pretty inclusive. I have to be pretty much inside of me rather than going out and finding out what people are doing. I don't have the time to. I just listen to my mind, in a way.
insecure feelings way
Every time I create something, just before that there's a kind of - you're feeling very low, you're feeling very down and insecure. Then you create and then it's fine. This is the way I observe me doing it.
way energy use
Power is power. It's energy. And if you get big, big energy, you can use that in a good way.
order people way
People just love to be entertained, and in order to entertain them, you have to do things in a way that they understand.
art survival way
Art is a way of survival.
trying way done
I'm just trying to do my best every day, hoping that I have done my best every day, and its very easy in a way, but also it's not that easy. Every day counts.
creativity way needs
Creativity is innate and it manifests itself in so many forms. It needs to come out somehow or it destroys you in some way.
real artist way
Indie music is 'it' now. It's kind of a revolution to the music: 1980s, 1990s music was getting very sanitized; they were complying with the music industry. Music was getting more and more dead in a way. Now, because of the social climate that's very severe, the artists are compelled to start being real. It's really great that indie music is now.
