It says something about this new global economy that USA Today now reports every morning on the day's events in Asian markets.

Internet marketing entrepreneurs have truly opened my eyes to just how important a quick turnaround time can be. Often times an interview they conduct with me today is online by the next morning. The interviewee is then able to start making money less than 24 hours after the initial interview.

In my day at 12 years old which was 38 years ago we worked out in summer months for two and a half hours. Today someone in that age group might work out for four hours two hours in the morning and two at night.

I never want to make a film. I don't wake up in the morning going 'Ooh I'd really love to be on set making a film today'. I'm aware that other contemporary film directors perceive film-making as what they do as what they have to do. But I would hope that I am more catholic in my tastes.

The boy who expects every morning to open into a new world finds that today is like yesterday but he believes tomorrow will be different.

Get up tomorrow early in the morning and earlier than you did today and do the best that you can. Always stay near me for tomorrow I will have much to do and more than I ever had and tomorrow blood will leave my body above the breast.

Fashion should be something that in the morning when you open your window you say 'Oh fantastic sun!' Then you take your shower you say 'OK fantastic which colour I wear today because I feel happy?' This should be fashion.

If some great catastrophe is not announced every morning we feel a certain void. Nothing in the paper today we sigh.

Money for me today does not really matter.

Let us face it: in the world today money and economic strength remain more powerful arguments than the number of people you represent.
