I was a very interested arts student I was always into that part of school and when I got into high school I went into architectural drafting. It gave me an understanding of how to build things and it's really helped me put things in perspective. With my music and my movies to me it's all art.

I have done many movies that people hadn't seen. 'The Fountain ' I spent a year on that. 'The Prestige' with Chris Nolan and 'Australia.' From my perspective it's very satisfying. Some movies people see and other movies they don't. 'Wolverine ' 'X Men ' I know that in some level people know me just for that and it's fine for me.

Chelsea Morning is a great Joni Mitchell song and I guess I'm partial to her lyrics because they show me a slightly different perspective on life.

My mom is great and I make sure that we pray together before every race. She helps me put everything in perspective and remind me of the real reason I run.

A lot of times women don't get the male perspective in regards to a relationship what men go through when they're not really dealing well.

Becoming a father I think it inevitably changes your perspective of life. I don't get nearly enough sleep. And the simplest things in life are completely satisfying. I find you don't have to do as much like you don't go on as many outings.

In terms of doing work and in terms of learning and evolving as a person you just grow more when you get more people's perspectives... I really try and live the mission of the company and... keep everything else in my life extremely simple.

And I'd say one of the great lessons I've learned over the past couple of decades from a management perspective is that really when you come down to it it really is all about people and all about leadership.

Leadership can not be measured in a poll or even in the result of an election. It can only be truly seen with the benefit of time. From the perspective of 20 years not 20 days.

The danger of having the military take over intelligence is that the military has a very different perspective on the world.

A little perspective like a little humor goes a long way.

Humor is perhaps a sense of intellectual perspective: an awareness that some things are really important others not and that the two kinds are most oddly jumbled in everyday affairs.

From a reality perspective I'm sure part of that is true but this is the largest blackout in U.S. history. If that is not a signal that we have got a problem that needs to be fixed I don't know what is.

More people have more access to more readers for less money than ever before in history. It means a lot of dross but it means a lot of very talented people can find and nurture a readership in ways that were not possible twenty years ago. From a creative perspective that is all that writing is about.

With the perspective afforded by the passage of time where does 9/11 rank as a turning point in our national history? For the victims and their families innocents going about their lives suddenly and brutally murdered no other day can ever matter as much.

To the extent that the judicial profession becomes the daily routine of deciding cases on the most secure precedents and the narrowest grounds available the judicial mind atrophies and its perspective shrinks.

As state leaders I think its important for us to provide our perspectives on issues we face every day - like access to school spending access to health care and governing in a global economy.

Sitting behind the bench at games is the hardest thing I've ever had to go through because basketball is really most of my happiness. So when I can't go out there and exert energy and have fun and things like that it kind of puts everything else into perspective.

When a scientist is ahead of his times it is often through misunderstanding of current rather than intuition of future truth. In science there is never any error so gross that it won't one day from some perspective appear prophetic.

And as I ask for your forgiveness I also ask for your support to keep all things in perspective and keep all things in proportion. The good of nine years versus the bad.

I probably grow half my food. It's a good way to keep perspective.

If you ever get rich and famous by definition you are special. You have done something special and therefore you start to behave special. Then if the floor drops out and you become down and out you have a really new perspective.

I certainly don't think you need to be famous to want to leave a legacy but when you are famous it's even more likely that your child will get the wrong perspective on your life if you die prematurely.

Faith gives you an inner strength and a sense of balance and perspective in life.
