A friend of mine has a big farm in the desert and she picks up feathers and roadkill for me then makes it into clothes. I think it's cool to wear roadkill. If I died and somebody wanted to wear my teeth around their neck to VMAs I'd feel honored.

Prominence is cool but when the delusion kicks in it can be a drag. Especially if you choose to surround yourself with friends and not acolytes.

When you get to your mid-20s you start to feel responsibilities for the things that you do and the people around you. It's a cool age.

I'm cool with failing so long as I know that there are people around me that love me unconditionally.

Theaters are always going to be around and doing fine. With computers and technology we're becoming more and more secluded from each other. And the movie theater is one of the last places where we can still gather and experience something together. I don't think the desire for that magic will ever go away.

Learning can take place in the backyard if there is a human being there who cares about the child. Before learning computers children should learn to read first. They should sit around the dinner table and hear what their parents have to say and think.

People are so bad at driving cars that computers don't have to be that good to be much better. Any time you stand in line at the D.M.V. and look around you're like Oh my God I wish all these people were replaced by computer drivers.

What do we want our kids to do? Sweep up around Japanese computers?

The speed of communication the speed of information transfer the cheapness of communication the ease of moving things around the world are a difference in kind as well as degree.

Measured in time of transport and communication the whole round globe is now smaller than a small European country was a hundred years ago.

I don't change. The things around me change.

Really each era has its own false nostalgia. We all put a picket fence up around something. For my generation it was the '50s and for other generations it will be something else. Change is scary for everyone as is complexity contradiction and an uncertain future.

One of the most important things that I did to turn my life around was to realize and to accept that from this minute that's all we have. Everything that happened behind us we cannot change so you might as well look to the future.

I always try to keep the circumstances in my life fresh. I like to change the physical environment I live in change the people around me and try to experience things for the first time. I think that keeps one on their toes creatively and spiritually.

I think if there's any difference between me and a traditional CEO it's that I've been unwilling to change myself or shape my personality around what's expected.

Sureness is something like a neck brace which we clamp around our lives hoping to somehow protect ourselves from the frightening constant whiplash of change. Sadly the brace doesn't always hold.

This great though disastrous culture can only change as we begin to stand off and see... the inveterate materialism which has become the model for cultures around the world.

Unless there is meaningful change in Syria and an end to the crackdown President Assad and those around him will find themselves isolated internationally and discredited within Syria.

Whether you're winning or losing it is important to always be yourself. You can't change because of the circumstances around you.

And it's absolutely true that male sexual behaviour and female responses to male demands change a lot when they start communicating - and the levels of the communication that I've seen on the ground in very very poor areas are so high and I think why don't we have that here?

When people align around shared political social economic or environmental values and take collective action thinking and behavior that compromises the lives of millions of people around the world can truly change.

I didn't want to go out and change anything. I just wanted to make the music that was part of my background which was rock and blues and hip-hop.

Nothing is as real as a dream. The world can change around you but your dream will not. Responsibilities need not erase it. Duties need not obscure it. Because the dream is within you no one can take it away.

A visit to a cinema is a little outing in itself. It breaks the monotony of an afternoon or evening it gives a change from the surroundings of home however pleasant.
