Usually one or two things happen: Either you have an idea straightaway - the sort of sound that you want or the instrumentation or one particular sound that you want to feature - or you don't.
One of the most important things for a CEO is not to get insulated.
I've been called many things, but never an intellectual.
I believe that reforming our intelligence community is one of the most important things that we can do in order to ensure that our country is in fact safer, stronger and wiser.
I believe life is an intelligent thing: that things aren't random.
No intelligent man believes that anybody ever willingly errs or willingly does base and evil deeds; they are well aware that all who do base and evil things do them unwillingly.
In order for a war to be just, three things are necessary. First, the authority of the sovereign. Secondly, a just cause. Thirdly, a rightful intention.
I'm a human being. I've got opinions, I'm not always right, I'm not always on time, I don't always say things in the proper way, but my intentions are always extremely pure.
I try to do things in comics that cannot be repeated by television, by movies, by interactive entertainment.
One of the things I've come to appreciate about the brain is the importance of location. It's not just a set of interchangeable parts that you can swap in and out.
Freedom and responsibility aren't interconnected things. They are the same thing.
My definition is that geo-enlightenment is understanding the interconnectedness of things.
The infinite vibratory levels, the dimensions of interconnectedness are without end. There is nothing independent. All beings and things are residents in your awareness.
There aren't that many things left that haven't already been done, especially with music. I'm interested in ideas that can shake us all up.
The interesting thing about Hain is that he's not a very interesting character. He's not fabulously clever. He's not a great policeman. He's not hugely charismatic. I'd describe him as a kind-of Chekhovian character. He's an ordinary bloke, to whom extraordinary things have happened. Which is quite hard to play, I have to say.
I probably would have retired years ago if I hadn't found interesting things to do.
I like to have interesting things to write about. And when one says something is 'interesting,' one almost always means 'bad.'
One of the interesting things about comedy is it's tension release, and nothing creates tension faster than anger.
I'm swanning round the world looking at the most fabulously interesting things. Such good fortune.
'Arcadia' is obviously a play that's got interesting things in it that are perhaps quite hard to grasp.
