I think very abstractly when I'm writing. Then, as the project moves on, it becomes more like sculpting.
I like the idea of being a sculptor. Just me alone, making something - that solitary existence.
I would like to make a building as intellectually driven as it is sculptural and as positive as it would be acceptable to hope.
Good painting is the kind that looks like sculpture.
The size thing is not some gimmick or attention-getting trick but a genuine undercurrent of the work. Frank Gehry for instance likes to imagine his buildings as sculptures. I like to imagine my sculptures as architectural.
I feel like Drake could literally put out anything - like, the sound of seagulls over a beat - and it could be the Number One song on Spotify.
I am just a bit player, a seaman doing his part like all the seamen out there.
And Seaman, just like a falling oak, manages to change direction.
Clothing for larger sizes doesn't have to look frumpy and old; it should seamlessly integrate fashion - like Universal Standard.
As a European I had fit in almost seamlessly in New York for the last 25 years, but in Oklahoma I stood out like a sore thumb.
Online advertising works, although it lands especially on search engines like Google and Yahoo. They achieve much higher revenues online than the websites of publishing companies.
Search engines generally treat personal names as search terms like any others: Data is data.
Doing a show for three weeks is nothing like doing a show for seven seasons.
Like Odysseus, the President looked wiser when he was seated.
I met Quincy Jones in Seattle. We were kids together... liked each other when we met and have been close ever since. He wasn't writing when we met - in fact, I more or less started him off to write; voicing, harmony, and stuff like that.
What I don't like - and I'm concerned about - as a Houstonian is that the SEC is starting to own Houston... There's more talk about the SEC than there is the Big 12.
It's not overwhelming or shocking to play against the SEC, like most fans think.
The idea that 'if you don't like how things are going, you can just leave' is so ingrained in Texas, the secession movement is no surprise.
My favorite spot is the Maldives. Since I travel so much for work, I like to go to places that are very secluded and quiet.
To avoid sounding like a cliche, I won't say I want to get proposed to in Paris, but Paris. I want it to happen somewhere public where people can be excited that I just got proposed to, and everyone applauds, like in a restaurant - that, or somewhere totally secluded... in Paris.
