And as you said, everyone contributed; certain areas of material came from certain individuals.
Billy Sherwood

My only general rule was to steer away from things I played with the band over the past couple of tours. I was interested in re-shaping the Rising material for live shows, so people could hear the bare bones of that.
Bruce Springsteen

I loved the material when I first read it, and the experience of making the film was a great one. So when we came around to complete the trilogy, I just signed on board without even reading the scripts because the experience of the first film was so good.
Keanu Reeves

I see what happens when one gets very attached to material things. That's just not what my life is.
Alicia Keys

In the West there has always been the attempt to try make the religious building, whether it's a Medieval or Renaissance church, an eternal object for the celebration of God. The material chosen, such as stone, brick, or concrete, is meant to eternally preserve what is inside.
Tadao Ando

The failure of national economic policy is costing us more than jobs; it has begun to weaken that uniquely American spirit of risk-taking, large ambition, and optimism about the future. We must rally them now to bold departures that rebuild our national morale as well as our material prosperity.
Mitch Daniels

There is only one thing which can master the perplexed stuff of epic material into unity; and that is, an ability to see in particular human experience some significant symbolism of man's general destiny.
Lascelles Abercrombie

The world knows of a vast stock of epic material scattered up and down the nations; sometimes its artistic value is as extraordinary as its archaeological interest, but not always.
Lascelles Abercrombie

I am careful with my material and presentation.
Shelley Berman

We'll only be playing four new songs live, but all the material for the next album is basically finished.
Daisy Berkowitz

Every time I get something under control in my own life, the world provides more material.
Cathy Guisewite

Without the spiritual world the material world is a disheartening enigma.
Joseph Joubert

The familiar material objects may not be all that is real, but they are admirable examples.
Willard Van Orman Quine

Ideally, one should have more material than one can possibly cope with.
Frank Auerbach

I do like directing other people's material.
Brian De Palma

I knew I had the right material and I knew what I was going after.
George Thorogood

There is peace more destructive of the manhood of living man than war is destructive of his material body.
Douglas William Jerrold

I am convinced that material things can contribute a lot to making one's life pleasant, but, basically, if you do not have very good friends and relatives who matter to you, life will be really empty and sad and material things cease to be important.
David Rockefeller

Twyla Tharp put it together from the material I wrote and recorded over my whole career. I thought it was pretty good, but how objective could I be?
Billy Joel

I guess when we were up against it, we knew this album was going to be compared to all the classic early material, because it was going back to the original five.
Roger Andrew Taylor
