The mindset of chasing that next #1 record doesn't exist for me anymore. It's more about being a well-rounded entertainer than being a pop artist. Obviously it would be wonderful to have a hit record but I don't base my happiness on that anymore. It's about the accomplishment of a project that satisfies me. I just want to enjoy the ride.

The founders of a new colony whatever Utopia of human virtue and happiness they might originally project have invariably recognized it among their earliest practical necessities to allot a portion of the virgin soil as a cemetery and another portion as the site of a prison.

The essays in The Great Taos Bank Robbery were my project to win a Master of Arts degree in English when I quit being a newspaper editor and went back to college.

For me journalism has been more a matter of projecting a particular approach to covering policies to covering issues. It was a continuation of what I tried to do in government.

I decided I ought to pick a project that would not be controversial that would not really cost the government a lot of money.

I am a particular fan of integrative exercise - that is exercise that occurs in the course of doing some productive activity such as gardening bicycling to work doing home improvement projects and so on.

I don't think things through very often - I don't project into the future about how a situation will turn out.

Projecting a persuasive image of a desirable and practical future is extremely important to high morale to dynamism to consensus and in general to help the wheels of society turn smoothly.

And that's the mission of The Innocence Project in New York is to exonerate people who have been wrongfully convicted and also work from a policy angle with Congress and state legislatures to prevent future wrongful convictions.

The risk presented by these lethal wastes is like no other risk and we should not be expected to accept it or to project it into the future in order for manufacturers and utilities to make a dollar killing now.
