Just the type of music that was around at the same time as I was writing. Some of it was wicked, definitely. But there was just one direction which I thought could be pushed that no one was pushing. ~Tom Jenkinson

proverbiosAll artists are anarchists in some way; some more extreme than others, but it is something that I think artists are supposed to do. We are supposed to present a different angle on everything, and I certainly think it is as much as poetry, in my opinion. ~Robert Zemeckis

Starting my own business was kind of a wakeup call in a number of different ways. I had to meet a payroll every week, and we had to satisfy customers, and we had competitors that we had to compete with in order to have those customers come into our stores, and we had to compete with other employers for our employees. ~John Mackey

I think there's a side of me that's trying to compete with Lucas and Spielberg. I don't usually admit this publicly, because I tend to think that they only go so far, and their view of the world is rather simplistic. What I want to do is take whatever cinema is considered normal or successful at a particular time and play around with it, to use it as a way of luring audiences in. ~Terry Gilliam

People should decide "are you willing to spend all this money to go to Mars?" I think the average person on the ground would never spend that amount of money; they have to spend it on something that makes sense and this is definitely saving our planet. ~Felix Baumgartner

Socialism is a wonderful idea. It is only as a reality that it has been disastrous. Among people of every race, color, and creed, all around the world, socialism has led to hunger in countries that used to have surplus food to export. Nevertheless, for many of those who deal primarily in ideas, socialism remains an attractive idea; in fact, seductive. Its every failure is explained away as due to the inadequacies of particular leaders. ~Thomas Sowell

I didn't want to be anyone else. ~Gordon Waller

Memoir is actually the most egoless genre, even though it might seem ostensibly so much ego-driven. In order for it to succeed, you have to dissolve the self into these larger universal truths, and explore these deeper mysteries. If it's purely autobiographical and ego-driven, it's going to fail. ~Nick Flynn

Sweet is the day of sacred rest;
No mortal cares shall seize my breast;
O may my heart in tune be found
Like David's harp of solemn sound. ~Isaac Watts
