I'm against ignorance. I'm against sloppy, emotional thinking. I'm against fashionable thinking. I am against the whole cliché of the moment.

Risk-taking is the essence of innovation.

Because of new technologies, new wealth, new conditions of domestic life and of international relations, unprecedented criteria and issues are coming up for national decision.

Programmers work in bursts of productivity. Then, they let the brain rest and get back into it. A lot about the office world is not a great fit for me.

I don't believe anyone can go through the prison experience without being changed by it. The experience becomes part of your identity forever.

Oh, I just sing like I hurt inside.

Whenever I see a cut of a film and something is gone, I don't notice it unless it obviously should have been kept.
