When I climb into my car I enter my destination into a GPS device whose spatial memory supplants my own. I have photographs to store the images I want to remember books to store knowledge and now thanks to Google I rarely have to remember anything more than the right set of search terms to access humankind's collective memory.
The fast flowing parts the high-speed corners that's where a Formula One car is at its best - changes of direction pulling high g-forces left and right.
I like structure - like driving: go past the school on the street stay on the right side no hitting the car go in right you'll see a big church stop and take a left and you'll have it. By doing this I'm giving a structure of life a path of light and showing what happens between me and me which is something very beautiful.
There are certain times I don't want my picture taken. If my wife's stepping out of a car and it looks like it's going to come out an indecent picture don't I have a right to object?
One morning about four o'clock I was driving my car just about as fast as I could. I thought Why am I out this time of night? I was miserable and it came to me: I'm falling in love with somebody I have no right to fall in love with.
Spending $1 for a brand new house would feel very very good. Spending $1 000 for a ham sandwich would feel very very bad. Spending $19 000 for a small family car would feel well more or less right. But as with physical pain fiscal pain can depend on the individual and everyone has a different threshold.
You know what I really love? The CD players in a car. How when you put the CD right up by the slot it actually takes it out of your hand like it's hungry. It pulls it in and you feel like it wants more silver discs.
Dogs feel very strongly that they should always go with you in the car in case the need should arise for them to bark violently at nothing right in your ear.
Societies need rules that make no sense for individuals. For example it makes no difference whether a single car drives on the left or on the right. But it makes all the difference when there are many cars!
We're just into toys whether it's motorcycles or race cars or computers. I've got the Palm Pilot right here with me I've got the world's smallest phone. Maybe it's just because I'm still a big little kid and I just love toys you know?
In Japan they have TV sets in cars right now where you can punch up traffic routes weather everything! You can get Internet access already in cars in Japan so within the next 2 to 3 years it's gonna be so crazy!
Independent film is almost nonexistent right now because all the distributers that used to love to put out these little art films are all out of business right now because it costs so much to open a movie.
To be honest I live among the English and have always found them to be very honest in their business dealings. They are noble hard-working and anxious to do the right thing. But joy eludes them they lack the joy that the Irish have.
Kids are brought into show business because they are cute and see truth and they're very bright. But there's a sense of doing it because you want the adults to be approving of you. You want to make them happy.
I started cooking in kitchens right out of high school and I was lucky to work with a lot of great people but I had no idea it would turn into this. Of course no one should go into this business because they want to be the next Emeril.
What's so touching is the way we fight the war right until the moment our business is taken care of and then we turn on a dime and we immediately start taking care of people. It's like a shock and aw shucks campaign.
Detainee policy in this war is hard it's complicated but we must get it right. We would be better off as a nation if we could close Gitmo safely and start a new prison that he could use that the world would see as a better way to doing business.
A business of high principle generates greater drive and effectiveness because people know that they can do the right thing decisively and with confidence.
I believe people who go into politics want to do the right thing. And then they hit a big wall of re-election and the pettiness of politics. In the end politics gets in the way of the business of people.
The Right's view of government and the Left's view of big business are both correct.
I think we have to notice that the business processes we use right now for thinking and planning and budgeting and strategy are all delivered on very tight agendas.
Romney is right that the Obama vision is too centered on government. But his is too centered on the promotion of business and wealth creation at the expense of everything else.
And I want to do it the right way like everybody else not just a famous figurehead that gets a job because he is a famous basketball player. I want to really learn the business.
We need to stop apologizing for celebrating life. We need to stop apologizing for wanting to protect an individual's right to build a business.
