I think being gay and gay people are the most wonderful things in the world. I wish all of us could have the power and pride to benefit from what is rightfully ours. Why isn't there an enormous building in Washington called the 'National Association of Lesbian and Gay Concerns' to lobby for us?
I believe the answers to most problems that confront us around the world can and should be approached by engaging both friend and foe in dialogue. No, I don't naively think that dialogue always works, but I believe we should avoid the rigidity of saying that dialogue never works.
I changed the course of my life, from the rigidity of mathematics and the corporate rhythm to a more bohemian world.
I don't buy this thing that our industry is responsible for all the ills of the world. We have great people at JPMorgan Chase. We operate with a lot of rigor. Our clients are happy with us.
The culture of rigorous questioning and open discourse at the University of Chicago has opened minds to ideas that have changed the world.
I think if I did something in the pop world right now, it would be for Rihanna. I'd love to do something production wise for her.
I've always said that L.A. is the city of America's future. It is to the world what London was in the 19th century and New York in the 20th because of the growth of the Pacific Rim countries. We're the portal to the emerging world.
Ringo is one of the world's true humans. The only one out those four guys, who did not have an agenda. Ringo was just into the music.
Ringo isn't the best drummer in the world. He isn't even the best drummer in the Beatles.
As I said to Ringo, I was in a successful Rock N Roll band. He was in a band that changed the world. That's the difference.
Rio 2016 is definitely on my mind, and I would really like to go to some more World Championships before that.
The worst thing in the world that can happen to you if you're an engineer that has given his life to something is for someone to rip it off and put their name to it.
I don't like the fashion world. It's too nasty, too rip-off, too hard. And now it's all Gucci and Prada; it's very difficult to make your own business.
Making it big in this world is such a rip-off, you gotta keep your head together or it can be totally without meaning.
We as Americans have ripped off the world. We get to throw food away. It's insane.
Ripping children away from their parents has a particular shameful history, both in this country and around the world.
In these dangerous times, where it seems the world is ripping apart at the seams, we can all learn how to survive from those who stare death squarely in the face every day, and we should reach out to each other and bond as a community, rather than hide from the terrors of life at the end of the millennium.
The impact of a conscious artist is necessary, and it ripples through the world.
There is no doubt that Formula 1 has the best risk management of any sport and any industry in the world.
When I was young, it was difficult to imagine entering a world where my parents succeeded so much and I could have risked failing. It would have felt much harder.
