I believe that being successful means having a balance of success stories across the many areas of your life. You can't truly be considered successful in your business life if your home life is in shambles.

I think that Phil Kaufman is one of the best directors that I have come across.

Of course all of the software I write runs on Linux that's the beauty of standards and of cross-platform code. I don't have to run your OS and you don't have to run mine and we can use the same applications anyway!

My attitude about Hollywood is that I wouldn't walk across the street to pull one of those executives out of the snow if he was bleeding to death. Not unless I was paid for it. None of them ever did me any favors.

The world is full of musicians who can play great and you wouldn't cross the road to see them. It's people who have this indefinable attitude that are the good ones.

Our attitude is that we want to cross over. You can't go on making records just for your own hometown.

It is impossible to exaggerate the wide and widening gulf between the American attitude on the Iraq war and the view from our friends across the Atlantic.

If the Frieze Art Fair catches on I imagine at least two great things happening. First we will once again have a huge art fair in town that isn't too annoying to go to. More importantly Frieze may finally show New Yorkers that we can cross our own waters for visual culture. That would change everything.

Poetry is not only dream and vision it is the skeleton architecture of our lives. It lays the foundations for a future of change a bridge across our fears of what has never been before.

I think there is a big difference between expressing the pain and anger that many African Americans and other people of color may feel versus language that I think now crosses the line and goes into hate.
