The first year I started in San Francisco there was an American work on every program and there's been a lot of music by living composers and gradually that was part of the process of getting the audience really to trust me.
But I don't have a very good track record with royalty. My dress fell off in front of Prince Charles at the Prince's Trust so I'm just living up to my reputation.
I am living out my adolescent dream of travel and adventure.
I like to think that if it hadn't gone as well as it has if I wasn't able to make a living off of playing music I would still be playing the music. But of course I wouldn't likely have had the opportunity to travel and a lot of the places have inspired songs.
My goal when I started out was to get to the point where I could tour a lot and make a living which means getting paid enough to hire my own band travel and end up with a bit of money but I'm still nowhere near that point. Because I didn't have a band and fan base when I started I did everything backward.
The growth of Stewart Airport creates new jobs for area residents brings new business and new travelers to the region and brings new convenient travel options to those of us living in the Hudson Valley.
The desire to become a journalist came really because I very much like living abroad and like to travel and wanted to be paid for it.
I'm living my dream right now. I get to make music perform and travel.
I've always traveled as a kid my parents moved me around a different place in Germany every four years. But I got the travel bug when I was a kid living in different countries.
I want to travel. Maybe I'll end up living in Norway making cakes.
I'm such a girl for the living room. I really like to stay in my nest and not move. I travel in my mind and that that's a rigorous state of journeying for me. My body isn't that interested in moving from place to place.
They're trying to tell us that we're not right so we have to buy their products. The number one cause of mental illness is not knowing who you are and you can't know who you are if you don't spend time honoring yourself and living in the present.
If you're living in your time you cannot help but to write about the things that are important.
Live as if you were living a second time and as though you had acted wrongly the first time.
The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling but in rising every time we fall.
When I started out as a music journalist at the end of the 1980s it was generally assumed that we were living through the lamest music era the world would ever see. But those were also the years when hip-hop exploded beatbox disco soared indie rock took off and new wave invented a language of teen angst.
Teenagers who are never required to vacuum are living in one.
But I don't think we'll go there until we go back to the moon and develop a technology base for living and working and transporting ourselves through space.
By 2007 we were finally living in a culture where people get what networks are and what technology can do to connect people.
I think we are living in selfish times. I'm the first one to say that I'm the most selfish. We live in the so-called 'first world ' and we may be first in a lot of things like technology but we are behind in empathy.
I have an almost religious zeal... not for technology per se but for the Internet which is for me the nervous system of mother Earth which I see as a living creature linking up.
My mother a teacher encouraged me to use my creativity as an actual way to make a living and my father a Mississippi physician did two things. First he taught me that all human beings should be treated equally because no one is better than anyone else and he never pressured me to become a doctor.
I don't find acting to be a particularly noble way to make a living. I'm not saving anybody's life I'm not a teacher I'm not working for UNICEF. I don't think I'm some big deal.
No I'm happy to go on living the life I've chosen. I'm a university teacher and I like my job.
I've got Asperger's syndrome and I'm not a very good people person so I've always been more comfortable around machinery. Not in a weird way - I don't want to marry my car or anything stupid like that!
