“Well, I didn't really grow up playing or listening to metal, like many of the kids I went to school with. I only got into it in my late teens, so when Marilyn Manson formed, it was at a time when I was still excited about approaching music from that angle.” WellsStillsKidsSchoolGrowsGrowing UpListeningLateExcitedMetalsTeensAngleManson Author:Scott Putesky
“My neighbor's not even listening to me. He's all excited about some garden hose he bought at Brookstone. He's convinced it was designed by NASA. "Actually, it's got two nozzles, one for the hot and one for the..." Really? Is it long enough to go around both our necks and the chimney so we can tandem jump off of this? That's all I really care about you and your little garden hose.” LittlesLongTwoEnoughCareFunnyComedyListeningGardenHotExcitedConvincedNeighborNecksNasaChimneysTandem Author:Bill Burr
“I remember Chris Cooper saying to me - I was doing October Sky with him - and he said, "You know, you're just yelling at me." He's like, "You're just yelling. You need to listen." We were in a fight, and you know, oh you'd get so excited as an actor, you're like, "We have a fight, oh, I get to get mad." And he just said, "You need to listen." And I started listening - and then all of a sudden where I was listening was where, I don't know, anger became something else.” KnowsNeedsSaidRememberFightingActorsSkyLike YouListeningMadExcitedOctoberYelling Author:Jake Gyllenhaal

“I eat broccoli. I think about the plot. I pace in circles for hours, counter-clockwise, listening to music.

“I think that there's an idea in 2016 that if a woman doesn't have it all then she's lacking in some way, and I think that 'having it all' is the kid, the relationship and the career, and that seems horribly skewed. I get genuinely excited when I meet women - or men - who don't want to have children. It's refreshing and unusual and means they're not swayed by what society has told them, they're just listening to their own basic instincts. I love meeting people who are fulfilled by other things. I think, 'lucky old you' when I meet someone single.” PeopleThinkingMenMeanChildrenKidsListeningMeetingsInstinctExcitedUnusualJust Listen Author:Sharon Horgan
