I go and see anything that's visually new any technology that's about picture-making. The technology won't make the pictures different but someone using it will.

Social media is not about the exploitation of technology but service to community.

What's sort of interesting about the whole public relations disaster that is the Net in some ways is that the fundamentals are really good.

The 'Net is a waste of time and that's exactly what's right about it.

People who are really serious about software should make their own hardware.

I watch too much cable I admit. Day after day it gets frustrating. Yesterday I watched as someone called legislation to prevent teacher layoffs a bailout - but I know that's not a view held by many nor were the views I was frustrated about.

When I was about 13 or 14 I had an English teacher who made a deal with me that I could get out of doing all of the year's regular work if I would write a short story a week and on Friday read it to the class.

Quite honestly I never had a desire to be an actor. I tell people I did not choose acting acting chose me. I never grew up wanting to be an actor. I wanted to play football. In about 9th grade an English teacher told me I had a talent to act. He said I should audition for a performing arts high school so I did on a whim. I got accepted.

I want to clear up a few myths about myself. People have written that I was a kindergarten teacher and a former Miss Texas and neither is true.
