The experience of being in space didn't change my perspective of myself or of the planet or of life. I had no spiritual experience.

If you believe that feeling bad or worrying long enough will change a past or future event then you are residing on another planet with a different reality system.

Education doesn't change life much. It just lifts trouble to a higher plane of regard.

But once you have satisfied your material needs which I think every wealth creator should - the house the car the plane the boat - what comes next?

Every job has its downside. For example being in a band the travel part of it - getting picked up from your house in a car going to the airport getting on a plane going from the airplane to a van then going from the van to a hotel.

I remember my wife and I used to get on plane and see everybody else with their babies. They'd be putting strollers and car seats up above and we'd think: Oh please Lord don't make us go through that.

The thing about drugs and sex is that you lose all your inhibitions. I've had sex in trains planes wine bars... and quite a few car parks!

So if you're a robot and you're living on this planet you can do things that you can't do in real life - things that you wished you could do: like fly like have a car that flies like have furniture that is alive.

The United Nations four or five years ago put out a study that said the meat industry meat-eating growing meat for food is the No. 1 killer of our planet - not No. 2 or No. 3: No 1. You know what's No. 2? Transportation. Everyone thinks that No. 1 is transportation and goes out and buys a hybrid car. Screw the hybrid cars. Don't eat hamburgers.

On my job I end up jumping out of planes. Last week I got in an 18-wheeler and drove down a runway onto a skid track. The week before that they put me in a car and sunk me to the bottom of a lake to see if I could escape without an oxygen tank.

I'm a crazy car guy. I've got an airplane hangar full of cars.

I'm carded for R-rated movies. And I get talked down to a lot. When I try to go rent a car or buy an airplane ticket or other stuff adults do I get 'Okaaaaaay honey.' I remember when I was 18 getting crayons in a restaurant.

I've tried everything other than jumping out of a plane but nothing gives you an adrenaline rush like racing a car.

Design can never be an ultimate explanation for anything. It can only be a proximate explanation. A plane or a car is explained by a designer but that's because the designer himself the engineer is explained by natural selection.

Life is a gamble. You can get hurt but people die in plane crashes lose their arms and legs in car accidents people die every day. Same with fighters: some die some get hurt some go on. You just don't let yourself believe it will happen to you.

Business practices and how we treat the planet are also in desperate need of re-humanization.

As an elder of the Americas and of the rest of the planet it is my responsibility to care for and protect to the best of my ability the young.

For the greater beauty of the instrument the balls representing the planets are to be of considerable bigness but so contrived that they may be taken off at pleasure and others much smaller and fitter for some purposes put in their places.

We're here to bring beauty to the world and make a difference in this planet. That's what art forms are about.

I like to dedicate myself wholeheartedly to a cause so that I have more impact. My goal is to shed light on the beauty of the ocean and how important it is for our planet.

I was always interested in fashion and beauty. I was fifteen when I was scouted in a flea market. Two years later I arrived in New York. I was in awe because it was like another planet.

The pilot looked at his cues of attitude and speed and orientation and so on and responded as he would from the same cues in an airplane but there was no way it flew the same. The simulators had showed us that.

Americans are the most generous country on the planet. I've worked in Europe I've worked in Australia. There is no where else where you get absolutely no attitude for being a foreigner. If you do your job well they embrace you.

Madonna remains the most visible performer on the planet as well as one of the wealthiest but would anyone seriously say that artistic self-development is her primary motivating principle? She is too busy with Kabbalah fashion merchandising adoption melodramas the gym and ill-starred horseback riding to study art.
