I no longer want reminders of what was, what got broken, what got lost, what got wasted.
I really enjoy doing remixes, but I don't want to be known as just a 'remix artist' for the rest of my career.
Do you want to know what scares the Washington cartel? Actually, not remotely. I don't scare them in the tiniest bit. What scares them is you. What scares them is that old Reagan coalition is coming back together, of conservatives.

In an organization that is unwilling to change, find the opportunity to talk and interact with people - figure out why they don't want to change. It could be habits. It could be people's personal equities and reputations are defined by the role they're in or the process they've mastered.
People are terrified for their own reputations. They want the press on their side.
Question the motives of those who make requests of you. Discover what they really want. You may not want to give it.
When people say they don't want a nanny state, they are, in fact, in a conflicted state of mind. On the one hand, they want to do whatever they want and not be stopped. On the other hand, if something goes wrong, they want to be rescued.
I want my children to know that we often become resilient for others.
