I guess confidence is the only thing that I take from project to project but I'm always open to learning everybody's style - the director the actor I'm working with.

Directors who turn into big babies and shut out criticism stop learning.

I'm trying to get in the habit of you know picking up a book and learning how to write my feelings down not my feelings but my thoughts about things and hopefully I'll moving toward the writing and directing thing soon.

Painful as it may be a significant emotional event can be the catalyst for choosing a direction that serves us - and those around us - more effectively. Look for the learning.

We have to forget the past. History is something that even today we are paying the consequences and the future is integration. We all as a people as citizens as the leadership of both countries should be looking in that direction.

And if the imam and the Muslim leadership in that community is so intent on building bridges then they should voluntarily move the mosque away from ground zero and move it whether it's uptown or somewhere else but move it away from that area the same as the pope directed the Carmelite nuns to move a convent away from Auschwitz.

Market leadership can translate directly to higher revenue higher profitability greater capital velocity and correspondingly stronger returns on invested capital.

Where there is an absence of international political leadership civil society should step in to fill the gap providing the energy and vision needed to move the world in a new and better direction.
