The more a race is governed by its passions the less it has acquired the habit of cautious and reasoned argument the more intense will be its love of music.

Nevertheless the passions whether violent or not should never be so expressed as to reach the point of causing disgust and music even in situations of the greatest horror should never be painful to the ear but should flatter and charm it and thereby always remain music.

Nothing separates the generations more than music. By the time a child is eight or nine he has developed a passion for his own music that is even stronger than his passions for procrastination and weird clothes.

In music the passions enjoy themselves.

I had a couple of movies that I was passionately involved with that I could never get made. 'Richard Pryor ' I wrote for - gosh - over a year.

It's hard to tell with these Internet startups if they're really interested in building companies or if they're just interested in the money. I can tell you though: If they don't really want to build a company they won't luck into it. That's because it's so hard that if you don't have a passion you'll give up.

My mom's passionate and energetic and very funny and enthusiastic.

I was a single mom that raised two bright beautiful and compassionate girls.

I care so passionately about improving the quality of life for women and girls not just here in the United States but internationally as well. I am a single mom and I raised a daughter who is now a young adult.
