Alzheimer's is a horrible thing. Some people are naive about it. They think, 'Oh it's just your memory,' but my mother was in terrible pain. Your body closes down.

There's a funny thing about fame. The truth is you run as fast as you can towards it because it's everything you want. Not just the fame but what it represents, meaning work, meaning opportunity. And then you get there, and it's shocking how immediately you become enveloped in this world that is incredibly restricting.

Most people will see only the physical appearance of the chariot, its decorations and other such things as the fine raiment put on the sacred image inside, the costumes worn by the dancers and musicians, and all the sound and color of the festivities.

I would argue this is the first major step towards a subscription operating system.

If we go out and win it, we'll have a greater chance of going to Jacksonville, even though towards the end of the season we didn't play as good as we're capable of playing and lost a few key games. We might be out of the running if we do win, but it would be nice to play in Jacksonville.

I grew up in San Diego in a non-athletic environment. My parents were not interested in sports. Their loves were art, literature and music.

I would be surprised to see a massive increase in prices, but a slow creep up towards just below $570 would be on the cards this week.

When I came to Denver, ... I wasn't much of a student and really didn't think I could finish with a degree. Then I look at Ted who has a 3.94 GPA and working for a biology degree towards medical school.

One of the things that's fun about TV is it grows, and you set goals and aim towards stuff, and one of the writers has an idea, and you say, 'Ooh, that's so much cooler. Let's do that instead.' It's so much more fluid and organic that way, and that's the most fun part about it.

One should never direct people towards happiness, because happiness too is an idol of the market-place. One should direct them towards mutual affection.

My first book, 'In Praise of Slowness,' examines how the world got stuck in fast-forward and chronicles a global trend towards putting on the brakes. That trend is called the Slow movement.
