Will Oldham (REPRISE)

He’s been on before but current status and this video are amazing. Ladies and gentlemen, Bonnie “Prince” Billy.

“I am goodbye” – Bonnie “Prince” Billy

 

Sol Lewitt

 

“You shouldn’t be a prisoner of your own ideas. ” – Sol Lewitt

Billy Corgan

“James, that`s a bad situation. I`m not saying it`s not repairable, but it`s pretty far. When you go from being in one of the best bands in the world to some cover band… as far as I`m concerned, he was playing down at the pub.” – Billy Corgan

James Taylor

“Fortunately, it doesn’t seem to have made a lot of difference to my audience that I’m as bald as a billiard ball!” – James Taylor

Don Logan

 

“You’re on two per cent, two and a half, maybe even three. Depends on the usual bumflufferies. It’s not about the money with you and me is it, Gal? It’s the charge, it’s the bolt, it’s the buzz, it’s the sheer fuck off-ness of it all. Am I right?” – Don Logan

Milton Glaser

“The real issue is not talent as an independent element, but talent in relationship to will, desire, and persistence. Talent without these things vanishes and even modest talent with those characteristics grows.” – Milton Glaser

Alan Arkin

“There’s no such thing as the best performance; it’s arbitrary. What makes something the best performance? When you get 100 people who say this is the best performance, and they’re all kind of titillated by that performance, and there’s another performance that changed 15 people’s lives, what’s the gauge? Because 500 people like something, does that make it better than something that 3 people like?” – Alan Arkin

Tobin Yelland

“I took some classes and found I really liked taking photos, and just read tons of books and tried to emulate my heroes and be a hero myself.” – Tobin Yelland

Phil Selway

“My advice is that if you’re in a band and you feel is good, stick with it and work at it, because basically what we’ve done is kept a school band together for years with nothing happening–until recently.” – Phil Selway

Todd Hido

“There is no secret I could give away. You charge the air by photographing the right person, allowing them be real, and by making a potent image. My images can say so much more than I can honestly.” – Todd Hido

Michael Ivins

Is it overwhelming
To use a crane to crush a fly?
It’s a good time for Superman
To lift the sun into the sky

- The Flaming Lips

Alonzo Clemons

Roald Dahl

“I began to realize how simple life could be if one had a regular routine to follow with fixed hours, a fixed salary, and very little original thinking to do.” Roald Dahl

Ansel Adams

“It is horrifying that we have to fight our own government to save the environment.” – Ansel Adams

Phil “The voice of cycling” Liggett

Bud Cort

Larry David

“Even back then, I exuded self-confidence, and that drives women crazy.” – Larry David

Patrick Stewart

“I am not the archetypal leading man. This is mainly for one reason: as you may have noticed, I have no hair.” – Patrick Stewart

George Carlin

“Fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity.”  - George Carlin

Jean Luc Goddard

“A story should have a beginning, a middle, and an end… but not necessarily in that order.”  - Jean Luc Goddard

C3P0

“Don’t you call me a mindless philosopher you overweight glob of grease!” – C3PO

Bill Henson

 

“In every form of art, you really want the experience of the images to transcend the medium, for the medium to disappear into the greater experience of viewing the work. So that you forget you are looking at a painting, or a photograph.” – Bill Henson

Frank Lloyd Wright

“A doctor can bury his mistakes but an architect can only advise his clients to plant vines.”  - Frank Lloyd Wright

Marc Johnson

“Ignorance is man’s ruin. Booze and women can sometimes be by-products of that ignorance. There were different times in my life that I was drawn to both in an uncontrollable way. I didn’t understand why at the time, but it had something to do with substitution. Disconnectedness.” – Marc Johnson

Stanley Kubrick

“Perhaps it sounds ridiculous, but the best thing that young filmmakers should do is to get hold of a camera and some film and make a movie of any kind at all.” – Stanley Kubrick

Peter Garrett

“Whod like to change the world, who wants to shoot the curl
Who gets to work for bread, who wants to get ahead
Who hands out equal rights, who starts and ends that fight
And not not rant and rave, or end up a slave
Who can make hard won gains, fall like the summer rain
Now every man must be, what his life can be

So dont call, me, the tune, I will walk away” – Peter Garrett

Tim Berners-Lee

“Anyone who has lost track of time when using a computer knows the propensity to dream, the urge to make dreams come true and the tendency to miss lunch” – Tim Berners-Lee

Robert Adler

“As long as it’s done above-board and everybody knows what everybody else is doingand there’s no particular specific legal issue there, I’m not terribly troubled by the way the money is funneled.” – Robert Adler

Saul Bass

“Design is thinking made visual.” – Saul Bass

Mike Mills

“When you feel guilty about being sad, remember that Walt Disney was a manic depressive.” – Mike Mills

Daniel C. Dennett

“I think many people are terribly afraid of being demoted by the Darwinian scheme from the role of authors and creators in their own right into being just places where things happen in the universe.”  - Daniel C. Dennett

James Randi

Andy Sipowicz

Lt. Arthur Fancy: I just got a call from the Federal Marshals’ office. What the hell were you doing at Giardella’s hotel? 

Det. Andy Sipowicz: I was in the neighborhood. 

Lt. Arthur Fancy: I don’t get you, Sipowicz. You know you’re on probation, and you still go over there and put on a Bozo act!

Allen Ginsberg

 

I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by 
madness, starving hysterical naked, 
dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn 
looking for an angry fix, 
angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly 
connection to the starry dynamo in the machinery of night, 
who poverty and tatters and hollow-eyed and high sat 
up smoking in the supernatural darkness of 
cold-water flats floating across the tops of cities 
contemplating jazz,

Simon Day

Grant McLennan

 

“Round and round, up and down
Through the streets of your town
Everyday I make my way
Through the streets of your town
Don’t the sun look good today?
But the rain is on its way
Watch the butcher shine his knives
And this town is full of battered wives.” – Grant McLennan

Paul Kelly

“Before too long
The one that you’re loving
Will wish that he’d never met you
Before too long
He who is nothing
Will suddenly come into view
So let the time keep rolling on
It’s on my side” – Paul Kelly

Tim Flannery

“I was trying to get people to see that you can’t just grow for ever and hope that the environment will take care of itself.” – Tim Flannery

Andre Agassi

“You don’t cheat anybody out of their experience, whatever it is.” – Andre Agassi

Ray Kappe

“Always be willing to explore, experiment and invent. Do not accept the status quo;” and “Maintain good moral and social values.” – Ray Kappe

Yul Brynner

“Girls have an unfair advantage over men: if they can’t get what they want by being smart, they can get it by being dumb.” – Yul Brynner

Steven Wright

Babies don’t need a vacation, but I still see them at the beach… it pisses me off! I’ll go over to a little baby and say ‘What are you doing here? You haven’t worked a day in your life!’ – Steven Wright

Charles Darwin

“I cannot persuade myself that a beneficent and omnipotent God would have designedly created parasitic wasps with the express intention of their feeding within the living bodies of Caterpillars.” – Charles Darwin

Pier Oddone

Fundamental science is where new ideas and methods begin that later become commonplace – from the electric light, which originated in 19-century curiosity about electricity, to the World Wide Web, invented at CERN to allow international teams of particle physicists to communicate more easily. No amount of applied research on the candle would have brought us the electric light; no amount of R&D on the telephone would have brought about the Web. Science needs the space for curiosity and imagination.

Jackson Pollock

“It doesn’t make much difference how the paint is put on as long as something has been said. Technique is just a means of arriving at a statement.” – Jackson Pollock

Captain Joshua Slocum

“And now, without having wearied my friends, I hope, with detailed scientific accounts, theories, or deductions, I will only say that I have endeavoured to tell just the story of the adventure itself.” – Captain Joshua Slocum

Arvo Part

“I could compare my music to white light which contains all colours. Only a prism can divide the colours and make them appear; this prism could be the spirit of the listener.” – Arvo Part
