In Hollywood the women are all peaches. It makes one long for an apple occasionally.

We occasionally stumble over the truth but most of us pick ourselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened.

I currently use Ubuntu Linux on a standalone laptop - it has no Internet connection. I occasionally carry flash memory drives between this machine and the Macs that I use for network surfing and graphics but I trust my family jewels only to Linux.

Occasionally I find a travel book that is both illuminating and entertaining where vivid writing and research replace self-indulgence and sloppy prose.

I really enjoy what I do and who I'm with and where I am. Having said that I'm not really a person of habit because what I do in my job is travel around the world and play concerts to people and occasionally do very weird things.

Man will occasionally stumble over the truth but most of the time he will pick himself up and continue on.

Standing beneath the white light of an Apple store is like standing on a Stanley Kubrick movie set. His '2001: A Space Odyssey' predicted Jobs and a future where technology was our friend. Kubrick of course didn't like what he saw. And occasionally I have my doubts.

I also developed an interest in sports and played in informal games at a nearby school yard where the neighborhood children met to play touch football baseball basketball and occasionally ice hockey.

Although we were never pals and occasionally butted heads my relationship with Clinton and his wife Hillary made me a better journalist.

I know many writers who first dictate passages then polish what they have dictated. I speak then I polish - occasionally I do windows.
