I don't think any other city in the world... the sun doesn't shine the same way anywhere as it does in New York. And then I guess everyone's very good at hanging out. Not in a crazy way but you're just constantly interacting and learning.
I'm pretty focused on my career and if it comes down to hanging out with somebody or learning my lines it's gonna be learning my lines.
I think that my leadership style is to get people to fear staying in place to fear not changing.
President Bush offers the American people an optimistic vision and a clear choice in November. The President has provided steady leadership in remarkably changing times. He knows exactly where he wants to lead this country and he has complete confidence in the American people.
It is that of increasing knowledge of empirical fact intimately combined with changing interpretations of this body of fact - hence changing general statements about it - and not least a changing a structure of the theoretical system.
Human knowledge has been changing from the word go and people in certain respects behave more rationally than they did when they didn't have it. They spend less time doing rain dances and more time seeding clouds.
The rare person is still interested in new advances when they are adults. There is possibly a correlation with intelligence. In any case you have to be fairly bright to keep learning and changing attitudes as you get older.
To put down an ideogram of a table so that people will recognize it as a table is not the work of a painter but to sense it for a moment as a magic carpet with a leg hanging down at each corner is the beginning of a painter's imagination.
Certainly anyone whom I've witnessed who has gone through something horrible and life-changing has a sense of ironic humor or an ability to look at the peculiarities of the world and find humor in it.
It has always surprised me how little attention philosophers have paid to humor since it is a more significant process of mind than reason. Reason can only sort out perceptions but the humor process is involved in changing them.
I just moved into a new house so I love spending time at home. Everything for me is all about self-care because I really feel that if I'm at my best than I'm able to come to my job and really be feeling the best so if I'm not working out or going on a hike than I'm at home recharging and cooking dinner and hanging out with my cat.
When I get old I'm going to the old folks' home. I don't want to be one of those guys who's hanging around the house bothering the kids. But not just any old folks' home. I want the whole top floor.
I try to devote my afternoons to making music in my home studio but it's a lot more fun hanging out with musicians and friends and trying subtly to influence a band than making your own stuff.
History is always changing.
The current state of knowledge is a moment in history changing just as rapidly as the state of knowledge in the past has ever changed and in many instances more rapidly.
I had a go at changing history - maybe not all by myself - I fought at the battle of Normandy I slogged through the Ardennes and I celebrated the liberation of Paris on the streets with beautiful French girls throwing flowers at me. I said good-bye to my first true love and discovered what I really wanted to do with my life.
Anything in history or nature that can be described as changing steadily can be seen as heading toward catastrophe.
If our history can challenge the next wave of musicians to keep moving and changing to keep spiritually hungry and horny that's what it's all about.
The past is malleable and flexible changing as our recollection interprets and re-explains what has happened.
He who has so little knowledge of human nature as to seek happiness by changing anything but his own disposition will waste his life in fruitless efforts.
In this outward and physical ceremony we attest once again to the inner and spiritual strength of our Nation. As my high school teacher Miss Julia Coleman used to say: 'We must adjust to changing times and still hold to unchanging principles.'
I don't believe that government is good at picking technology particularly technology that is changing. By the time you get it done and go through democracy it's so outdated.
President Obama's reckless defense cuts that are hanging over our cloud hanging over the horizon could put almost 44 000 jobs at stake right here in Pennsylvania. we are not going to let that happen. You know why? Because No. 1 national defense is the first priority of the federal government.
Ideas can be life-changing. Sometimes all you need to open the door is just one more good idea.
Some songs you get. Some songs you may not. And I think that's the beauty of art: to question and to ask to understand the deeper meaning after two or three or four listenings.
