El kaizen es lento, la innovación es más rápida. No siempre lo rápido es lo más eficaz.

El problema de la innovación: a menudo hallas el éxito en el corto plazo, solo para descubrir que vuelves a caer en tus antiguas maneras de actuar, cuando tu estallido inicial de entusiasmo se desvanece.

I don't really see science fiction as fiction. I can imagine colonies on Mars and everything.

I went to my room and packed a change of clothes, got my banjo, and started walking down the road. Soon I found myself on the open highway headed east.

If the FBI is now in charge of bad taste, we're all doomed.

I felt that I had worked hard my entire life and deserved to enjoy all the temptations around me. I felt I was entitled, and thanks to money and fame, I didn't have to go far to find them.

Perhaps everything terrible is in its deepest being something helpless that wants help from us.

I started playing in '98, but I got hooked by playing celebrity golf tournaments. Tiger had a lot to do with it - his passion, the way that he plays.

We need to rekindle those values, those strengths as a nation and as a people... And we must do so as one people with one goal.

If you cant explain something in a few words try fewer.

You know you're getting older when - well, first off, when you read almost any story that begins 'You know you're getting older when.' But you also know it when you not only never heard of the musical guest on a given 'Saturday Night Live' but never heard of the host, either.

I have my own people that make my clothes because it's hard for me to find stuff that fits.

Find out what you’re afraid of and go live there.
