Great, Morning, Against

Billy Corgan

Music, Put, Valuable

Billy Connolly

Place, Wanted, Child

Norman Wisdom

True, Dog, Cigarette

When smashing monuments, save the pedestals - they always come in handy.

I grew up in the '80s and '90s listening to Public Enemy and Mobb Deep and the Smashing Pumpkins. I don't even know what it was like in the '60s - I wasn't alive then - so the Mayer Hawthorne sound is taking what I can learn from the classics, and blending it with my hip-hop DJ and producer background and punk-rock bands that I played in as a kid.
Mayer Hawthorne

Enemy, Deep, Learn

Heather Mills

Once, Times, Left

Norman Reedus

In orthodox film-making, you never shoot sequentially - but with improv, obviously every move you make has a knock-on effect; it is a cumulative process. I have improvised, on the non-scripted 'Timecode.' It can become entirely indulgent: actors smashing crockery and competing verbally.
Saffron Burrows

Become, Process, Move

I got involved in improv comedy. It settled me down when I was getting wild. I was sort of an evil teenager smashing up my cars and drinking and driving, let's just say, a lot.
Bruce McCulloch

Evil, Down, Getting

Jacky Ickx

Time, Small, Place

I was never able to get through Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. I've never been able to make it through. And I love the Smashing Pumpkins, they're one of my favorite bands ever, but I've never been able to listen to the whole thing all the way through.
John Wozniak

Love, Sadness, Through

My father played guitar, so I always wanted to play for that reason. But I think the biggest reason was just the '90s in general - growing up listening to the Smashing Pumpkins, Green Day and bands like that, and going to concerts and thinking it was the coolest thing in the world.
Jack Antonoff

Father, Thinking, Play

Never angrily rant into your web cam. While smashing a keyboard in half over a game of 'World of Warcraft' may seem totally justified in your head, to the rest of the known universe you look like a raging psychopath.
Ray William Johnson

Game, May, Universe

John Curtin

War, Enemy, Football
