Men cannot for long live hopefully unless they are embarked upon some great unifying enterprise one for which they may pledge their lives their fortunes and their honor.

I like engineering, but I love the creative input.

The world will end before there is another .400 hitter. . . . I think that was mentioned in the Bible.

I had done a lot of rock 'n' roll photography when I was in college. I was one of many photographers who worked for The Doors, Jefferson Airplane, and all of these rock 'n' roll bands.

George Lucas wanted this moving camera for all of the photography in Star Wars. He was willing to take a risk with the concepts that I advanced with regard to ways for doing that.

I was involved in the color correction and the digital color correction. In an odd way, you end up making a film many times-the DVD, the archival record of a high-definition master, and so on.

I think that era of mechanically figuring out of how to bring a particular evocative image to the screen was a really important part of my education.

I'm not here to make money, I'm here to make history.

It's easy to create something that has a lot of luster, but it's very hard to make something that has a lot of depth.

Be who you are, and go the whole way.

When I write songs I write for myself...I'm writing it as a form of expression, and hoping to find an audience, an audience that responds to music that is honest and lyrical and tells stories.

Time is totally perishable and cannot be stored. Yesterday's time is gone forever, and will never come back. Time is always in short supply. There is no substitute for time. Everything requires time.

No one ever confides a secret to one person only. No one destroys all copies of a document.

Pete Rose is too rich a character to fit on a bronze plaque. He requires a good, trenchant, poignant (ah, Petey) book, and this is it.
