The site I landed on feels much more isolated than it really is; it's almost magical. Within its limited radius, there was a whole range of the local ecology.

I realized it wasn't necessary to work in the traditional methods of carving and casting.

At a certain point, I just put the building and the art impulse together. I decided that building was a legitimate way to make sculpture.

The work is flowing from an inner knowing of how things really are.

Although idea and form are ultimately paramount in my work, so too are chance, accident, and rawness.

The fire was followed by a period of grieving and then by an incredible lightness, freedom, and mobility.

I was never interested in making cool, distilled, pure objects.

I felt it was part of the spirit of the whole program to do more than simply make an object.

I think of moving as a kind of saving grace.

There should be more attention paid to scientific research in the ecology area, and I think that such attention to proper environmental concerns would make the public feel much better about it.

I have a certain pool of subject matter that I like to write about, things that interest me: politics, religion, ecology, and relationships between men and women. And that's usually what I focus on.

Well, I think I was always sort of reflecting where I was and my sense of surroundings and ecology, urban or country, or foreign, living in Europe, very affected by all of that.

I forced myself to think what is the new concept and it became clear to me that it was risk, not only in technology and ecology, but in life and employment, too.

Archeology and ecology can go hand in hand.

The best years of your life are the ones in which you decide your problems are your own. You do not blame them on your mother, the ecology, or the president. You realize that you control your own destiny.

Continuity is at the heart of conservatism: ecology serves that heart.

The first law of ecology is that everything is related to everything else.

However, I think the major opposition to ecology has deeper roots than mere economics; ecology threatens widely held values so fundamental that they must be called religious.

If a product is more expensive than another one, and more sustainable in ecology, consumers will not buy it.

Probably the most visible example of unintended consequences, is what happens every time humans try to change the natural ecology of a place.

Ecology and economy are becoming inextricably entwined, and the world is becoming more conscious of this fact.

If you can command a lot of attention, that's what is valuable, and many in the commercial ecology would like to have a piece of that attention.

The tragedy is that there is so much more incentive - money - to destroy the ecology than there is to preserve it.

When you pursue great flavor, you also pursue great ecology.

The way I fight, it's not me beatin' the man. I make the man whip himself.

I started out wanting to be a naturalist. My obsession in my youth was with bird-watching. I collected things, I spent a lot of time outdoors. I only vaguely realized that science was a little more than natural history, but by then I was hooked.

Sometimes movies gloss over things, and it was important to me that this was realistic.

I really like action-dramas like 'The Professional' or 'La Femme Nikita.' I'd really like to be in a movie like that.

The advent of electronically synthesized sound after World War II has unquestionably had enormous influence on music in general.

How can I be in two places at once, unless I were a bird?

I am glad that I wrote something that brought joy to millions of people.

I try not to be neurotic I try to create and present healthy body image.

The good man is he who rules himself as he does his own property: his autonomous being is modelled on material power.

I'm off to sit on a cliff.

Being a geek means never having to play it cool about how much you like something

Why not premiere movies on Netflix the same day they're opening in theaters? Listen to the consumer; give the consumer what they want.

'Fresh Air' I listen to, like, every day.

In elite, primarily white institutions, there are many blacks who have white wives. So much so that sometimes there is almost the assumption that I would be married to a white woman.

I feel that my environment reflects my belief in the grace and art and elegance of living simply.

I think Sweden is known for people being a bit more quiet than other cultures, and I guess it's a mixture: shyness and leaving room for other people to talk. Of course, when people get drunk, all of that disappears.

Presidents should do whatever possible and practical to encourage an environment of cooperation and bipartisanship. And they should maintain a certain level of decorum, diplomacy and decency. But, at the end of the day, presidents get elected to enact change.

Yeah, I was in the phase for the last ten years or so where every record I made I said OK, that's the last one, I don't want to record anymore, I don't want to do this any more, I don't want to have a public life.

Everybody is watching you every minute anyways. If they think the message you're sending out is phony, they're going to say, 'Who does he think he is?' It's again good business. But it is also an obligation.

We only have two kinds of weather in California magnificent and unusual.

I do try to speak of positive things. I still try to, like, present two sides of the story, and I do try to relate to life in a 360 degree and not be one-dimensional. But by all means, manage expectations.

When I buy cookies I eat just four and throw the rest away. But first I spray them with Raid so I wont dig them out of the garbage later. Be careful though because that Raid really doesnt taste that bad.

Listening to my regular favourites - Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms and so on - I always feel, quite misguidedly, that nothing can be too bad if such beauty and brilliance exists in the world.
