My characters are driven by a passionate desire for justice. They are rebellious and incorruptible.

I like to hear melodies that go from one extreme to the next- saxophone to a bell to a whistle, for instance.

I was definitely super rebellious, and my music is that.

Basically, I like anything with guts - Lead Belly, Bill Big Broonzy, Johnny Winter, the Stones.

The cubism of Braque or Picasso, the dissonant compositions of Schoenberg or Stravinsky, the free-flowing and often erotic choreography of Isadora Duncan and Nijinsky - these were acts of rebellion against the certainties and traditions of the old world.

In the tight belly of the dead, Burrow with hungry head, And inlay maggots like a jewel.

I used 'Saved by the Bell: The College Years' as my reference point really for my 'Fresh Meat' experience.

My favorite movie is 'The Diving Bell and the Butterfly.'

Rock and roll has become entertainment that just says what the consumer wants to hear. There's no more edge or rebellion that sets it apart from the norm.

He had a broad face and a little round belly, that shook, when he laughed, like a bowlful of jelly.

When I get older, I don't think I'll like to have wrinkles, or a big jelly belly. I cannot have it.

My favorite sport is baseball; my cousin is pitcher Heath Bell.

To me, Satan ultimately represents rebellion.

In 'For Whom the Bell Tolls,' Hemingway cozies up to revolution by romanticizing it (and not only with those execrable love scenes).

The Social Security disability fund is going belly up in 2016.

My decision to come to Bell Telephone Laboratories immediately after obtaining my Ph.D. in 1936 was strongly influenced by the fact that my supervisor would be C. J. Davisson.

My parents were pretty liberal, but they were still parents. I definitely had my teenage rebellion.

In every single 'Tinker Bell' movie, I feel like there's a message that I'm proud to communicate with kids.

The Boxer Rebellion is a war that was fought on Chinese soil in the year 1900. The Europeans, the Japanese and their Chinese Christian allies were on one side. On the other were poor, starving, illiterate Chinese teenagers whom the Europeans referred to as the Boxers.

Primarily I'm a social commentator rather than someone who's out to get the belly laugh.
