People accuse artists of being narcissists - of course we are! If we don't like ourselves, who's going to like us?
There is no witness so terrible and no accuser so powerful as conscience which dwells within us.
It is rather hard to be accused of shiftlessness and idleness when the accuser closes the avenue of labour and industrial pursuits to us.
Everything we did was criticized. For about thirty years we lived with the world against us, accusing us of things we didn't do!
With trans folks, we have a lot of people accusing us of just playing dress up for whatever reasons, and that's just not true.
'This Is England 2015.' That would be ace. We could have prosthetics to make us look really old.
The ache for home lives in all of us, the safe place where we can go as we are and not be questioned.
It is only our humanity that can deliver us from the brutality of our achievements.
The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark.
Experience - the wisdom that enables us to recognise in an undesirable old acquaintance the folly that we have already embraced.
Before the palefaces came among us, we enjoyed the happiness of unbounded freedom and were acquainted with neither riches, wants, nor oppression.
Let us act on what we have, since we have not what we wish.
I was in an acting class taught by Eric Morris, and Jack Nicholson was in the class. He wrote the script for 'Head', so all of us in the class got little tiny parts in the movie.
Louis Freeh said on national TV that actionable intelligence could have allowed us to stop the hijackings.
We're going to be able to ask our computers to monitor things for us, and when certain conditions happen, are triggered, the computers will take certain actions and inform us after the fact.
Katalyst is a merger of three industries. A piece of us is connected to ad agencies. Because we get the complex overlay of the social Web, we know how to engage an audience and how to make entertainment for the social Web. And we know how to gain and activate and retain an audience. So we create social networks for brands.
Is it 'a drag' that passions don't come to us all at once, as epiphanies, without the need to actively develop them? Maybe. But the reality is that our early interests are fragile, vaguely defined, and in need of energetic, years-long cultivation and refinement.
I look at books as being a form of activism. Sometimes they'll show us a side of the world that we might not have known about.
Our acts make or mar us, we are the children of our own deeds.
We're highly social animals - I'm told by scientists that what makes us different from other animals is an acute social awareness, which is what has made us so successful.
