I always dreamed of writing in an orchestral context. But when you finish a piece, you want to hear it. So we played everything with Phish.
I'm not a star, and I don't want to be a star. Stars fall. I'm an ordinary guy with an extraordinary job.
I want everyone to put their views forward, every union branch, every party branch, so we develop organically the strengths we all have, the imagination we all have.
Whether individuals or organisations, we follow those who lead not because we have to, but because we want to. We follow those who lead not for them, but for ourselves.
You don't really want nonagenarians as heads of organisations which are trying to do something useful.
The truth is, natural organisms have managed to do everything we want to do without guzzling fossil fuels, polluting the planet or mortgaging the future.
If you want to remember me, organize!
It was important for the first piece of original music that I release to have a timeless feel because that's the type of music I want to make.
The burden of originality is one that most people don't want to accept. They'd rather sit in front of the TV and let that tell them what they're supposed to like, what they're supposed to buy, and what they're supposed to laugh at.
I want to set up orphanages for underprivileged and abused children.
I do the Golden Globes because they say I can say what I want. I wouldn't have that at the Oscars.
Since we try and take a fairly buy-and-hold approach to our newsletter portfolios and don't sell at every whipsaw, we want to have a mix of stocks that will perform at both ends of the oscillation.
We don't want to think about money in an ideal life; in a well-lived life, money wouldn't be one of our primary concerns, and we prefer to adopt the ostrich position.
So we take a lot of pride in that. It's really on us to turn this thing around. I think this last month we've done just that. We've pointed ourself in the direction that we want to be, and I think we're starting to head towards that. Right now we're in a nice rhythm.
There are some outcomes in finance we don't want, and government should regulate that.
We just want to outdo ourselves every time we come back somewhere.
After one look at this planet any visitor from outer space would say 'I want to see the manager.'
You see, my version of why anyone would want to become an actor is that it's some psychological fixation, something that happened in puberty that you didn't outgrow in time, which is normal. Nevertheless, if you make it a profession, it can be really neurotic.
I love the wilder, more outlandish characters that are hard to make believable. Those are the ones I want to play.
When I went public with my breast cancer diagnosis six weeks ago, the overwhelming outpouring of love, prayers and support really helped me heal faster. I want to make sure to thank everyone.
