One of the first things I picked up when I was very, very young out of a record store was work from Peter Saville - the early things he used to do for Factory Records.
Freaks was a thing I photographed a lot. It was one of the first things I photographed, and it had a terrific kind of excitement for me. I just used to adore them. I still do adore some of them.
When I married Wilnelia, one of the first things I wanted to know about Puerto Rico was the quality of the golf courses.
Because I write fiction, I don't write autobiography, and to me they are very different things. The first-person narrative is a very intimate thing, but you are not addressing other people as 'I' - you are inhabiting that 'I.'
There are two important things to remember about 'entitlements': They are hugely popular programs for a very good reason, and actual sensible 'reform' would mean improving them, not sacrificing them at the altar of 'fiscal responsibility.'
Certainly science, because of its ability to increase our capacities to do things, raises terrible risks for us all. If it were possible to undiscover nuclear fission, I would be very happy to undiscover it, because of the risks that it puts us all under.
I wanted to leave home, and I didn't know where I was going or what I was going to do or what would happen. That's youth, though. Being fixated on things. I was fixated on being a writer.
The life of an editor is not a glamorous one. You're a fixer; you make things better.
Obviously, flagrant things have to be called. There are rules. You have got to play to the rules, no question.
Tempers flare at times. That's what good teams do: they react to things and go out there and leave it all on the field.
I'm not really a flashy guy anywhere else - I don't dress flashy or anything else - but I like to keep my cars nice, and I like to customize them. I can do things a little flashier and a little faster, and with a little bit more thought. This is kind of the release part of basketball.
Well, there's a remedy for all things but death, which will be sure to lay us flat one time or other.
I love comfort. Comfort is very key to me because I spend most of my time in very uncomfortable things, so it's all about trainers and flats.
I guess I'm flattered that people think I can help get things done.
You're flawless when you embrace the things about you that you don't necessarily like, but you own them because they're yours.
My favorite things often have a story behind them and are usually handmade or discovered at a flea market.
L.A. has a lot of good flea markets - the Rose Bowl is always a good one. I have taken to eBay, too. Some of my favorite things - especially chairs, for some reason - I got on eBay.
But we used to go to flea markets and things, and look for old 78 records that had silly song titles.
I love going to flea markets especially when I am traveling, because I love seeing the stuff of other cultures, handicrafts and things with historical content.
I like finding things in locations where I've worked and things from down South and things from flea markets or even the sidewalks.
