I like science fiction and physics things like that. Planets being sucked into black holes and the various vortexes that create possibility and what happens on the other side of the black hole. To me it's the microcosmic study of the macrocosmic universe in man and that's why I'm attracted to it.

Macroeconomic policy can never be devoid of politics: it involves fundamental trade-offs and affects different groups differently.

Having your fiscal house in order and having a more manageable macro-economic future is going to be very useful in creating growth.

For most of my 20s I looked like I was 12. Now that I'm pushing 40 I guess I look closer to... 15? It must be my macrobiotic diet. Oh wait except that I don't have one of those.

In fact in many ways my mother was quite hippy-dippy serving macrobiotic food and reading 'Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.'
