SWITCH FOR a Bigger Self. You may have that childhood dream of living in an isolate paradise where everything is abundant & comfortable. But it does not help you grow.

SWITCH ON Bullet-speed Learning & Acting! Learn from a lot of people who have already reached where you want to be right now - from their own stories of struggles, mistakes & failures. Having learned, immediately ACT! It's the non-negotiable ingredient to self-growth.

What some people interpret as brooding melancholy is serenity. I don't feel required to grasp all the time.

I don't have a problem with green screen at all. I think children invented CGI. We invent worlds. A stick can become a sword. Or a bowl of stones can become a bowl of tomatoes. That's what children do, and that's what CGI enables us to do.

Britain should definitely be part of a Mars mission.

I mean, we had on our show, we had marriages, divorces and other stuff going on. And that was just me.

The most important single central fact about a free market is that no exchange takes place unless both parties benefit.

All right, then nobody can complain if we ask pregnant women to make parachute jumps.

L.A. prides itself on newness or being the last frontier or just not liking old things and tearing them down to build new things. But Malibu history is interesting to me. My mom's family was one of the early families in California, so there's history going back to the 1840s or '50s.
