63424. You know, I think that allowing somebody, one mere person to believe that he or she is like, the vessel you know, like the font and the essence and the source of all divine, creative, unknowable, eternal mystery is just a smidge too much responsibility to put on one fragile, human psyche. It’s like asking somebody to swallow the sun. – Elizabeth Gilbert
63425. You know, even I have had work or ideas come through me from a source that I honestly cannot identify. And what is that thing? And how are we to relate to it in a way that will not make us lose our minds, but, in fact, might actually keep us sane? – Elizabeth Gilbert
63426. Which is – you know, like check it out, I’m pretty young, I’m only about 40 years old. I still have maybe another four decades of work left in me. And it’s exceedingly likely that anything I write from this point forward is going to be judged by the world as the work that came after the freakish success of my last book, right? – Elizabeth Gilbert
63427. I should just put it bluntly, because we’re all sort of friends here now – it’s exceedingly likely that my greatest success is behind me. Oh, so Jesus, what a thought!

63444. I pretty much only write by default, because I want to make certain projects so instead of trying to wait and find them, I create them, but I’m not really a writer. – Sara Gilbert

63524. The rolling contract was designed to specifically take away some of that retirement talk and retirement issue. – David Gill

63538. The real amazing thing about all of this is I think I’ve maintained the mentality of a musician throughout it all, which I’m proudest of. And I’m still playing on people’s records and singing on people’s records. – Vince Gill
63539. This is just strictly me wanting to make a record that is the real deal. It is all the stuff that I have learned and know that I remember. It’s what I perceive as country music is about. – Vince Gill
63540. Well I think in all the thirty years I’ve been doing this now and being gone from home and all that stuff it’s really, it’s not about what I’ve achieved and if I’ve become a better player, or played better ten years ago than I do today. – Vince Gill
63541. Well, more than me saying to the rest of the country music industry there is not enough traditional country music – that is not necessarily the statement in truth. I think more so that I, me, missed it more than anything else. – Vince Gill
63542. When all is said and done the only thing you’ll have left is your character. – Vince Gill
63543. Whether it is successful or not is not the exercise for me. It is not up to me. It is out of my hands now. I am not going to in two years have hindsight and say I made a big mistake. – Vince Gill
63544. Yes, the companionship is amazing. You know, you can get that physical attraction that happens is great, but then there’s an awful lot of time and the rest of the day that you have to fill. – Vince Gill
63545. My last two records that I made were both quite pointed in one direction and I think I do my best stuff when it’s all over the map, when there’s a couple traditional things, a couple pretty rocking things. – Vince Gill
63546. The funny thing is, people’s perceptions of what a song is about is usually wrong a majority of the time. But they’re still going to read what they want to into it. – Vince Gill
63547. With The Key, it was, I had gone through a divorce and losing my father, and just kinda really reminiscing about how much I loved the traditional side of country music, so I made a record that was really traditional from start to finish. – Vince Gill
63548. I do not like being famous. I like being normal. – Vince Gill
63549. It really does take a lot of time to make records, to be in the studio and do all that stuff. – Vince Gill
63550. The real beauty of it – key to my life was playing key chords on a banjo. For somebody else it may be a golf club that mom and dad put in their hands or a baseball or ballet lessons. Real gift to give to me and put it in writing. – Vince Gill
63551. And from my place, and from the time that I went through my divorce, I also had my father pass away in the middle of all that. And it kind of made everything else just kind of like the back burner, you know. – Vince Gill
63552. But you know the thing that I thing oftentimes gets ignored and neglected is there was 10 or 12 years of life before I met Amy and before she met me, where you know, whatever happened was probably going to happen some day. – Vince Gill
63553. I am not struggling. What I do, it is what I do. – Vince Gill
63554. I can sit and analyze everything and beat myself up and say you don’t quite sing as good as you used to, you’re writing better songs maybe than you used to, but to me it’s just the journey. – Vince Gill

63557. I made records in the past that are as traditional as any other country records that have been made, but at the same time the records have a contemporary slant on it too. – Vince Gill
63558. I mean, look at her. Any idiot, you know, would quite taken with Amy. – Vince Gill
63559. I’ve always been more drawn to being normal than being famous. – Vince Gill
63560. It is easy to react if everything is going great. – Vince Gill
63561. It is not fun singing about losing somebody like that, but at the same time it was easy to write because the memories were so real and vivid and so much a part of who I am. – Vince Gill
63562. It is not that I don’t like contemporary country music because I do. I love it. I have recorded a lot and have had great success recording records that have not been very traditional country records. – Vince Gill
63563. I am responsible for me. I can kind of take care of what I need to do and should do what I like to do. – Vince Gill
63564. I think the idea is now for blacks to write about the history of our music. It’s time for that, because whites have been doing it all the time. It’s time for us to do it ourselves and tell it like it is. – Dizzy Gillespie
63565. I’d like to play for you one of my compositions, my only composition. – Dizzy Gillespie
63566. They’re not particular about whether you’re playing a flatted fifth or a ruptured 129th as long as they can dance to it. – Dizzy Gillespie
63567. Men have died for this music. You can’t get more serious than that. – Dizzy Gillespie
63568. I don’t care much about music. What I like is sounds. – Dizzy Gillespie
63569. I always try to teach by example and not force my ideas on a young musician. One of the reasons we’re here is to be a part of this process of exchange. – Dizzy Gillespie

63573. Our party may have swung too far right at various times. – Ed Gillespie
63574. People like passion in politics. – Ed Gillespie
63575. Politics swings like a pendulum. – Ed Gillespie
63576. So I think that our foreign policy, the president’s strong and principled leadership when it comes to the war against terror and foreign policy is going to be an asset. – Ed Gillespie
63577. Texas is now a cornerstone of the electoral college for Republicans. – Ed Gillespie
63578. The Democratic Party is getting very angry, and that came through clearly in this election. – Ed Gillespie

63587. The highest percentage of African Americans own their own homes today than ever in our nation’s history. – Ed Gillespie
63588. I don’t want to be disrespectful of the president of the United States, but as a political person, one of the things I appreciated about this president, in the past year especially, is he is a fantastic candidate. – Ed Gillespie
63589. When you were a volunteer for the Bush-Cheney campaign, you came in the morning; you had a supervisor who gave you a list of calls to make and a time to do it in. – Ed Gillespie
63590. And so it was interesting for me to find myself very enamored of a Republican president, but Ronald Reagan was someone I thought captured the spirit of America. – Ed Gillespie
63591. But I think there was a sense amongst the House Republicans especially that we didn’t just want to be opposed to Bill Clinton; that we wanted to tell the country what we were for and to brand ourselves in a more positive manner. – Ed Gillespie
63592. Even as a partisan Republican, I’m not sure a 40-year run is healthy for either party. – Ed Gillespie

63601. I’m an American first, and I think that’s how most people are. – Ed Gillespie
63602. If Ralph Nader runs, President Bush is going to be re-elected, and if Ralph Nader doesn’t run, President Bush is going to be re-elected. We’re going to run on the president’s strong and principled leadership and his positive agenda for a second term. – Ed Gillespie

63619. It’s the same with the ballplayers. Babe Ruth spent a lot, too and the ballplayers make a lot more money now. – Mickey Gilley

63626. All I want to do is do my shows and play golf. – Mickey Gilley

63634. I guess the nicest thing about being, I won’t say famous but being popular is a more proper word for me to use would be that if you’ve got a recognizable name, a lot of times you can get people to do things for you ordinarily that you wouldn’t get done. – Mickey Gilley

63656. I keep referring to them in the plural but all I’m dealing with is Bob. I don’t know where Harvey fits in the equation. He was very present at the beginning, winding his brother up. I don’t know where he is now. – Terry Gilliam
63657. Hyperbole is something I’d better avoid. – Terry Gilliam
63658. At the first screening, there were a lot of areas that we went around and around about. Then we had our second screening. It played better. It’s almost a reasonable length film now! – Terry Gilliam

63763. It is time we passed a balanced budget amendment and return this government to limited spending. – Newt Gingrich

63769. Part of why the Tea Party so deeply threatened the elite media is the tea party looked around and suddenly realized, there are more of us than there are of them. – Newt Gingrich

63771. I think every religious person should have a deep sense of respect for other people’s religious documents and religious symbols just as we were deeply opposed to the Taliban destroying the two historic buddhas which they blew up.

63792. The idea that a congressman would be tainted by accepting money from private industry or private sources is essentially a socialist argument. – Newt Gingrich
63793. Surely the President can agree with us, that theft from government is not good. I know it’s bold. It’s out on the edge. I know from a Chicago-Springfield background it’s hard to fully grasp that honesty could be part of government. – Newt Gingrich
63794. President Obama is the most successful food stamp president in American history. I would like to be the most successful paycheck president in American history. – Newt Gingrich
63795. We don’t we agree that litigation reform to lower the cost of healthcare would be a good starting point? – Newt Gingrich

63802. The REM and Nirvana successes don’t mean much to me except as a potential distraction for bands who want to cash in on the trend. Don’t try to sound like someone else. REM and Nirvana don’t sound like anyone else. – Greg Ginn
63803. The small companies who feel that the majors are a threat, or are predators, will use that as an excuse for their eventual downfall. Don’t blame others for your own inadequacies. – Greg Ginn
63804. There aren’t enough people who are scaring the kind of people who work at these record companies. – Greg Ginn
63805. We aren’t as concerned about the live aspect as other labels. The best live bands are the easiest to record. – Greg Ginn
63806. We had a lot of riots. We came under attack from many of the police departments. It certainly wasn’t some publicity thing. I was afraid for many years. We couldn’t play in LA for many years. A lot of people got very cynical. – Greg Ginn
63807. We’re not good at propping up old carcasses. We want to be on top of what’s vital at any particular time, and not just hold onto something because it has a name. – Greg Ginn
63808. You have to keep the business side together as well as the creative side. We have constantly surprised people and stayed with bands until they have grown on people. – Greg Ginn

63810. There are several books out on punk history, but I haven’t read any of them. I was there. – Greg Ginn

63812. I had business experience. I had made my living designing and building electronic equipment. Basic business was not new to me, but the music business was completely new to me. I knew nothing about distribution, or any of those things. – Greg Ginn
63813. SST was formed to put out the first Black Flag record. Basically, there wasn’t anyone else to do it. I felt that what I was doing with Black Flag was very worthwhile, and I wanted to get it out there. – Greg Ginn

63815. Black Flag was formed in 1977. We first recorded in 1978. – Greg Ginn
63816. There’s not much music I’ll listen to if it doesn’t have pretty heavy swing. Rhythm is so important. Punk rock would have more power and feeling if it had swing. – Greg Ginn
63817. I didn’t want to wait around for some business entity to come around and give me money and tell me what to do. We just started releasing records as best we could. – Greg Ginn
63818. I like a lot of electronica. I like older jazz rather than newer. – Greg Ginn
63819. I listen to everything that comes in. I’m not real worried about demo sound quality. I can hear through that sort of thing. If a band can play, then they can play. – Greg Ginn

63994. I first came to think about media and politics in the late 1960s, having observed some distortions up close, but since then I wouldn’t say that my personal experience has remained an important motive for my writing about media. – Todd Gitlin
63995. My business is the analytical framework. – Todd Gitlin
