I have a multicultural background, so I tend to have an open mind about things, and I find other cultures interesting.
One of the great things about Sydney is that it has a great acceptance of everyone and everything. It's an incredibly tolerant city, a city with a huge multicultural basis.
One of the things I learned from working on the Olympics was, the world does not need another big multimedia show.
Our to-do lists are so full that we can't hope to complete every item on them. So what do we do? We multitask, juggling several things at once, trying to keep up by keeping busy.
Multitasking? I can't even do two things at once. I can't even do one thing at once.
I'm quite good at multitasking, but I have to do things immediately.
It's a murky world out there, and it's hard to figure things out sometimes.
Sometimes things get too layered and compressed or there's too many effects and they turn into mush on record. I strive to keep it raw and live-sounding, like you are in the room watching the band play.
Music and the music business are two different things.
But I'm also a music lover, and I'll always try a lot of different things.
'Shelby Star' is going great. We shot a music video, and I'm building an app and some other things for the project.
I studied directing prior to acting and I've done music videos and documentaries and things that were sort of well-received.
If I wasn't making a movie, I was trying to master a new musical instrument or trying to teach myself how to shave with a straight razor. I had to find the weirdest things just to increase my understanding of other cultures or other arts or intellectual pursuits.
Also, I think having a musicality about me that helps in identifying different things in languages and getting them right.
I sing, and the musicians kind of fit things around me.
I did a lot of things as a Muslim that I am sorry for now.
Humans are mutants, everything's a mutant - things that evolve.
Things look especially bleak for common killers such as diabetes and heart disease. Those ailments clearly have a genetic component. But when scientists survey genes looking for which mutations patients have in common, they come up empty.
The latest revelation - from no Mount Sinai, Sermon on the Mount or Bo tree - is the outcry of mute things themselves that we must heed by curbing our powers over creation, lest we perish together on a wasteland of what that creation once was.
Hedge fund managers charge so much more than mutual fund managers; alpha is even harder to come by. They end up selling a variety of things beyond mere outperformance.
