My mission is to make the world happy and cute and to love everyone. I think I'm doing a pretty good job.
We can not love everyone and be loved by everyone. It would be perfection, and nothing is perfect in this world.
There are times when I love the world and love everyone, and I want to talk to everyone, and other times when I feel really disillusioned, and like none of this is real, nothing is real around me.
My number-one website is brainpickings.org. It opens you up to different authors and gives insights into the literary world. Reading about the love letters novelist Vladimir Nabokov wrote to his wife Vera blew my mind. Fascinating.
You know, we love stories and we love narrative; we love to get lost in an author's world.
I just love stories, and I love movies, learning and seeing the world. Growing up in Iowa, it was like, you wanna see the world? Movies can help you do that.
People love stories; they use stories to make sense of the world.
Love yourself first and everything else falls into line. You really have to love yourself to get anything done in this world.
In the beginning, New York and I had kind of a love-hate relationship. It seemed so abrasive compared to Europe. But the transformation here in recent years is really something. I don't think I would have seen as much change if I'd lived in any other city in the world.
Green is the prime color of the world, and that from which its loveliness arises.
Kissing onscreen is the worst thing in the world. I'm OK with lovemaking scenes, but I hate kissing.
I would have written of me on my stone: I had a lover's quarrel with the world.
I had a lovers quarrel with the world.
Ninety-nine percent of the world's lovers are not with their first choice. That's what makes the jukebox play.
I think that in an increasingly virtual world, lovingly produced artefacts are at a premium.
Nothing will turn you into more of a 'Star Wars' fan than being on a 'Star Wars' set. When you see how lovingly that world is rendered by the set designers, costume designers, props department, art department, they genuinely build an actual world. That is not an exaggeration. They build a world.
It's a world of multiple screens, smart displays, with tons of low-cost computing, with big sensors built into devices. At Google, we ask how to bring together something seamless and beautiful and intuitive across all these screens.
My public image is so low-key, but I get to travel the world and still have an audience and it's really amazing. I don't take that for granted.
Germany is one of the medium powers of the world. It is a non-nuclear power. It is in a lower class than the United States, the Soviet Union, France, the United Kingdom and others.
If we are going to compete in this world we're in today, there is no possible way we can do it with lowering expectations and dumbing down everything. Children are going to suffer, and families' hearts are going to be broken that their kids won't be able to get a job in the 21st Century.
