We live in an impatient world. Everybody is always looking for the next big Kobe, the next big LeBron, the next big Twitter.
My imperative is to seek every moment and to live so God is in control.
We live in an imperfect world, and imperfect people surround us every day.
I like texting as much as the next kidult - and embrace it as yet more evidence, along with email, that we live now in the post-aural age, when an unsolicited phone call is, thankfully, becoming more and more understood to be an unspeakable social solecism, tantamount to an impertinent invasion of privacy.
But then I'm one of those guys that is still a bit afraid of the telephone, its implications for conversation. I still wonder if the jukebox might be the death of live music.

The message of transformation and how we all can live from our heart, not just from our head, was a very important message for me to learn in my own life.
You can't live in New York City and be the most important person in town; you just can't. There are too many other important people here.
We live in a changing world, but we need to be reminded that the important things have not changed, and the important things will not change if we keep our priorities in proper order.
The changes in our life must come from the impossibility to live otherwise than according to the demands of our conscience not from our mental resolution to try a new form of life.
It's hard to know which made me more aware of the impossibility of protecting children - having a child die or having had two live.
The reason we want to go on and on is because we live in an impoverished present.
I wasn't really qualified to be on Saturday Night Live - I'm not like an impressionist or anything.
We have the opportunity not just to choose our job or profession, but also to choose the sort of life we want to live and the imprint we will leave on others.
Improvisation is almost like the retarded cousin in the comedy world. We've been trying forever to get improvisation on TV. It's just like stand-up. It's best when it's just left alone. It doesn't translate always on TV. It's best live.
'Saturday Night Live' was actually started with a show that Lorne Michaels and I did at a summer camp called Timberlane in Ontario when we were 14 and 15. We would do an improvisational show with music, comedy and acting.
In the U.K., classical music is composed by individuals and written down. Indian music is based on certain sequences called ragas. When I perform live, 95% of the music is improvised: it never sounds the same twice.
My records are one thing. My live performances are something totally different because they're very improvised performances.
I spend a lot of my spare time with my family. My sisters, parents, and in-laws all live nearby.
Titan has no liquid water on its surface, and any liquid water beneath its surface is inaccessible to us, as far as we know. It has hydrocarbon lakes, but we don't know of any organisms that could live in those, not at the temperatures that we find on Titan. Any reference to possible life in lakes on the surface of Titan is pure speculation.
