Island Records was the first record label to... acknowledge me. After that, quickly, Republic Records, and then Atlantic Records, Sony Records and Warner Bros. It was all the labels at once. It was absolutely insane, like, knowing that this many record labels were interested in me.
ArcGIS includes a Living Atlas of the World. It's like a large living library of geographic information.
In the big experiments, Atlas and CMS, we have something like 3,000 scientists each, and over 60 nationalities.
When I moved from Independiente to Atletico Madrid, I was only 18, and I found it hard to adapt. But what surprised me most about moving to England was how fast the game was. I like it, but it is so quick.
I owe a lot to Atletico, and I cannot say that I would like to play for another team.
One of my officers said to me that Trinidad and Tobago is seen like an ATM card... you come in with the card and you come back out with cash. It cannot happen anymore. It just cannot happen.
Taxes and fees in Chicago and Cook County are forcing low-income families like the one I grew up in out of this city. It's clear we can't keep treating low-income and middle-class families like an ATM machine with no limit.
When I became a novice monk, I lived in a temple where the atmosphere was quite like in a family. The abbot is like a father and other monks are like your big brothers, your small, younger brothers. It is a kind of family.
When I did the national anthem, I did a soulful, kind of gospel-y version, but it was controversial with the war veterans, just the people who wanted to hear it the old, clinical, atmospheric way, and I didn't want to sing it like that.
An enormous amount of scientific language is metaphorical. We talk about a genetic code, where code originally meant a cipher; we talk about the solar system model of the atom as though the atom were like a sun and moon and planets.
I would try and sing along with bands that I like but it sounded so atrocious that I couldn't.
The way I like to work is to attach personal experiences to what I'm doing, so it helps tremendously if I can write my own play under what the writer has written.
The charm of fame is so great that we like every object to which it is attached, even death.
Fiction is like a spider's web, attached ever so slightly perhaps, but still attached to life at all four corners. Often the attachment is scarcely perceptible.
Oftentimes, when you have a huge studio film and you have big names attached, they like to keep attaching big names.
My brands are an extension of me. They're close to me. It's not like running GM, where there's no emotional attachment.
Social engineering is using deception, manipulation and influence to convince a human who has access to a computer system to do something, like click on an attachment in an e-mail.
The Obama representatives like Robert Gibbs attack people viciously, but people like me will not be silent and will answer them back.
Love is like the measles. The older you get it, the worse the attack.
I don't like attacking.
