Hill Street Blues might have been the first television show that had a memory. One episode after another was part of a cumulative experience shared by the audience.

What I’m interested in is the fascinating image of young leaders… you know, young people leading in different fields. You see athletes and people in gymnastics, where the requirement is that you are supple and very, very young… 11… and by the time you’re 14, you’re already over the hill.

Maybe we like our politicians to appear like bumbling oafs. It certainly never did Ronald Reagan or George Bush any harm. The Italians still seem enamoured of Silvio Berlusconi – a man whose entry into a room is less likely to be greeted with the Italian national anthem than by the Benny Hill theme tune.

The higher the hill, the stronger the wind: so the loftier the life, the stronger the enemy‘s temptations.

Some people mistake grit for sheer persistence – charging up the same hill again and again. But that’s not quite what I mean by the word ‘grit.’ You want to minimize friction and find the most effective, most efficient way forward. You might actually have more grit if you treat your energy as a precious commodity.

Yes, there will be challenges, and things will blow up in your face, but learning experiences are different from wasting your life pushing a boulder up a hill.

I like to believe that I play bass like Dusty Hill, and that’s something nobody else can do as well as me. I’m the best Dusty Hill I know.

After all, Wall Street is clearly the most powerful lobbying force on Capitol Hill. From 1998 through 2008, the financial sector spent over $5 billion in lobbying and campaign contributions to deregulate Wall Street.

Lauryn Hill might have cursed a couple of times in her music, and Missy Elliot definitely just doesn’t care. I’m really more inspired by their creativity more so than just the cursing. I’m really impressed by clean music.

‘One Tree Hill’ gave me my first shot into acting, and they gave me the biggest chance, and that’s something that I’ll always respect and be grateful for.
41
I opposed No Child Left Behind, I opposed the Medicare prescription drug bill, I opposed the Wall Street bailout. What the American people are starting to see is that Republican, Republicans on Capitol Hill get it and the Democrats, from the White House to Capitol Hill, just don’t get it.
42
I think just being on ‘One Tree Hill’ has given me a lot of confidence.

I cross-dressed as the judge in ‘Hill Street Blues,’ you know.

Environmentalists hate sprawl – except when it comes to the size of their expansive pet legislation on Capitol Hill.

Tony Scott, Walter Hill, Michael Mann – I’m a big action fan, full stop. And even though Michael Mann is the more celebrated film-maker than Tony Scott, I love them both in different ways.
55
Technically, my first acting job was in one of my videos for a song called ‘Retrospect For Life,’ which Lauryn Hill directed and featured an actress by the name of N’bushe Wright, who played my girlfriend who was about to be pregnant. I remember being so nervous about it, but now I feel like I can conquer the world with it.

Acting and singing on ‘One Tree Hill’ was definitely one of the most incredible experiences of my life. I didn’t even know I could act until I auditioned at the casting call for the part of Mia.

I don’t believe that when you are 25 you are over the hill. Fifty is the new 30.

If a fan comes up and it is a middle-aged lady, it is probably from ‘Prime‘; if it is a younger girl, it is probably from when I guest-starred on ‘One Tree Hill.’ And if it is, like, a skateboard kid or a hipster kid, I can tell they are ‘How to Make It’ fans.

If you’re 28 and singing about being over the hill, you’re pretending. When you’re 67 and singing about it, you know what you’re talking about.

I do love Shirley Jackson, but I don’t deserve to be named in connection with her. I remember reading ‘The Haunting of Hill House’ and having goosebumps for hours. The way she builds narrative pressure in that book is just amazing. I think you could reread it a few times and actually go out of your mind.

If you like Harry Hill, you’d really like Tony Law. He’s a Canadian comic who’s done a few appearances on ‘Never Mind The Buzzcocks’ and ‘8 out of 10 Cats.’ Nobody else could do his stand-up; it’s very idiosyncratic, very daft, very silly, but really well structured.

When I got to Oak Hill, I got a chance to learn. I learned a lot about myself, basketball and about school. If would have stayed in Texas, I probably wouldn’t have graduated.

When I was younger, I would listen to Lauryn Hill, Destiny’s Child, Justin Timberlake, Aaliyah: lots of ’90s R&B.

I would say Alison Krauss was a big influence. Patty Loveless, Trisha Yearwood, Faith Hill. I loved, growing up, female voices with a lot of texture and a lot of character to their voices.
116
‘One Tree Hill’ really had an impact on my life. It was the first time I left my house and my family in New York and went to a small town in North Carolina. It was the most incredible experience for me.

There are two Tory parties: the trendy, socially liberal Notting Hill set which dominates at the national level, and the unreconstructed, reactionary, and often bigoted members of Conservative associations at the local level. The latter have yet to reconcile themselves to the reality of modern, multiracial Britain.

Ideas come from ordinary, everyday life. And from imagination. And from feelings. And from memories. Memories of dust in my sneakers and humming whitewalls down a hill called Monkey.

I tend not to spend a lot of time looking in the rearview mirror. If you say, ‘Oh, I did ‘Hill Street Blues’ or ‘L.A. Law’ and everything I do has to measure up to some preconceived notion of that,’ it would paralyze you.

There were high school coaches such as Charles Boston that took me under his wing and taught me the fundamentals of football. And when I went to college there was Robert Hill who took me there and he showed me what hard work and determination would do if you put forth the effort and you take a little time.
143
I will never say a bad word about ‘One Tree Hill’. The entire shape of my world changed because of that show, so I’ll always be very affectionate toward it.

My father, though, could run very much faster. It was impossible to compete with him on the grass. But it was astonishing how slow old people were. Some of them could not run up a hill and called it trying to climb stairs.

My favorite singer is Lauryn Hill – all time, hands down. She was my biggest inspiration growing up.
157
If you are looking down while you are walking it is better to walk up hill the ground is nearer.
158
I think education was the key for me, and that’s what I tell kids. That base in the classics gave me something to springboard from, which I wouldn’t have had if I’d come out to Los Angeles early and been guest punk of the week on ‘Hill Street Blues.’

Wherever we go, in a restaurant or on the street or on a ski hill or even travelling, people come up to see us and they’re just so friendly. They always have a super story to tell us concerning his dad or when he was young and I’m always interested to get to know stories about Justin and his family.
174
It used to be that you had to come to Silicon Valley, walk up Sand Hill Road, network with individuals. That’s now being completely changed and turned on its head by the whole ICO thing.
175
I see Obama as Sisyphus in the first four years. And nobody would speak about the size of the rock, or the elevation of the hill. All you hear people talk about is what he didn’t do.
176
I don’t have many people showing up at my door. Very few people come out. When they do, I get a little suspicious. I live way up on a hill, way, way back in the country.
177

I exercise about 40 minutes a day, and I’ll run one day and do circuit training the next day. I live in an area where there are brilliant hills and mountains, so I get a good hill run with my dog. At home, I’ll do the circuit training with old weights, along with pull-ups in the trees and that sort of stuff.

I wrote for ‘King of the Hill’ for three seasons.
190
It happened to me on ‘King of the Hill,’ where I’d left it before the end and didn’t really participate in the ending, and I always felt a little bit like I wanted to try a different version of that story.
191
‘One Tree Hill’ was my first television experience, so naturally I was nervous initially. There is no rehearsal, you get your script a few days ahead, and you work. I was also the youngest actor, 13, on set at that time, but it was amazing to be able to ‘learn the ropes‘ with such a supportive group of people.
