There was a great complexity to my father. He was a devoted family man. But in the same breath he simply was not suited to an anchored life. He should have been somebody who had a backpack an old map a bit of change in his pocket and that was it - roaming the world.

We may need to change the way we think. As in Israel I think there should be a mandatory draft where you go away for the service of your country for three years.

I always get bored with my hair. That's why I would always change it throughout my career.

Really each era has its own false nostalgia. We all put a picket fence up around something. For my generation it was the '50s and for other generations it will be something else. Change is scary for everyone as is complexity contradiction and an uncertain future.

President Obama needs to put the right people in charge of the agencies and then have them push the bounds of administrative power to change policy through those agencies.

Management would have to change the way things were done.

I always try to keep the circumstances in my life fresh. I like to change the physical environment I live in change the people around me and try to experience things for the first time. I think that keeps one on their toes creatively and spiritually.
