It's not easy when you take someone who's basically right out of puberty and who becomes a millionaire responsible to no one (Barney Hoskyns)

The dawn

Big difference

There is a big difference in the types of women that you see from the stage when you are with the Stones compared to the Dead. With the Stones it's like being at a porno convention. With the Dead, it's more like the women you see by the river in the movie O Brother, Where Art Thou? Bob Dylan (in The Philosophy of Modern Song )

A certain color of light

The thing that always fascinated me is that you think you emanate a certain color of light. You are convinced that you are a nice guy, or convinced you are a bad guy, you're convinced that you are terribly complicated, whatever it is, the light that people are looking at is not the same light that you think you are emanating. They see something entirely different. Paul Newman (in The Extraordinary Life of an Ordinary Man )
