David Geffen

I’ve always thought that each person invented himself… for whatever reason, through whatever circumstance, through whatever he is gone through… that we are each a figment of our own imagination… And some people have a greater ability to imagine than others.

There has always been a tremendous obsession with television and movie stars, and with the people involved with the business.

It’s not a very big thing to say, ‘I made a mistake’ on the war, and typical of Hillary Clinton that she can’t.

My mother taught me to love my work. I learned everything about business from her.

If you said you had homosexual tendencies they sent you to a psychiatrist.

Some people have a greater ability to imagine than others.

I have standards I don’t plan on lowering for anybody, including myself.

I like work. If it’s not hard enough, I try to make it harder. I like the process of being daunted by it, tackling it, and knowing I can do it.

The idea of being in control for the sake of control is not really important to me. If everyone is sharp and doing what they’re doing well, you don’t really need to be in control all the time.

We rely more on enthusiasm than actual skill. Whatever you do, do it enthusiastically and people will like it more.

Florida, just because you’re shaped like some combination of a gun and a d*ck doesn’t mean you have to act that way.

I did audition for “Home and Away”, but they never called me back. I feel I escaped in a way.

One of my friends was part of the popular group and I remember her telling them, ‘Come on, we should let Vanessa in.’ This one other girl didn’t want to let me into the group. Finally, I kind of got accepted and became good friends with her. I don’t know, the whole popularity scene is funny.

Hate a liar more than I hate thief. A thief is only after my salary a liar is after my reality.

I was motivated by just thinking that if you had all this external success that everyone would love you and everything would be peaceful and wonderful.

The good Lord doesn’t tell you what His plan is, so all you can do is get up in the morning and see what happens next.

This is going to sound really funny. I have a poster of Zac Efron on my wall! I think every girl has a poster of him in their room so, why not join the club!

Be sure it’s true when you say I love you. It’s a sin to tell a lie. Millions of heart have been broken. Just because these words were spoken.

When I’m no longer rapping I want to open up an ice-cream parlor and call myself Scoop Dogg.

I’ve got this brilliant thing where I go, “I’m Robbie Williams”, and people are interested in what I want to say – which is amazing because I’m just an idiot from Stoke-on-Trent.

I get more people approaching me about how good I was in ‘Napoleon Dynamite’ than being in Coldplay.
