It's so funny looking back but my so-called overnight success actually took 15 years. I remember when I didn't have any money and my only car was mom's Hyundai.
The energy of the crowd is insane. Twenty thousand people. It's the biggest jolt of adrenaline. It's very hard to explain. You know the old story about the woman lifting the car off her kid? It's in that realm. You can actually hurt yourself and not know it.
I don't actually own a car.
Okay let's talk about cartoon labels for half a second - some people think anything with a dog or a car or a colorful alien is garbage which is not true. Look at Big Moose Red. It's like a $6 wine with a cheesy label and it's actually a solid wine.
Over my lifetime the car had actually transcended the fact that it is a car. It has become a venue.
I think I'm actually quite a materialistic person I value what it takes to make a car or build a nice house. Money does change things but how it changes people depends on how they react to it.
You know what I really love? The CD players in a car. How when you put the CD right up by the slot it actually takes it out of your hand like it's hungry. It pulls it in and you feel like it wants more silver discs.
White is actually one of my favorite colors. I have a white car. I love white.
That's why I do this music business thing it's communication with people without having the extreme inconvenience of actually phoning anybody up.
I think a simple rule of business is if you do the things that are easier first then you can actually make a lot of progress.
Look at growth look at how much time people spend on the Net and look at the variety of things that they are doing. It's all really good so I am actually encouraged by the fundamentals that underlie usage growth on the Net.
What we actually learn from any given set of circumstances determines whether we become increasingly powerless or more powerful.
The best thing about acting is that I get to lose myself in another character and actually get paid for it... It's a great outlet. I'm not really sure who I am - it seems I change every day.
The beauty of having short hair is that I actually can wash and style it at home!
People see you as an object not as a person and they project a set of expectations onto you. People who don't have it think beauty is a blessing but actually it sets you apart.
I've actually spent a lot of time researching beauty products how they are produced and how they are sold.
The compulsion to do good is an innate American trait. Only North Americans seem to believe that they always should may and actually can choose somebody with whom to share their blessings. Ultimately this attitude leads to bombing people into the acceptance of gifts.
What matters to me is that I do what I think is right and I see I'm a numbers guy that's my attitude. I know we have a debt tsunami coming we are bankrupting this country and I'm in a position where I can actually advance ideas to prevent that from happening. That's exactly what I should be doing.
A positive attitude is not going to save you. What it's going to do is everyday between now and the day you die whether that's a short time from now or a long time from now that every day you're going to actually live.
I'd like to introduce someone who has just come into my life. I've admired him for 35 years. He's someone who represents integrity honesty art and on top of that stuff I'm actually sleeping with him.
The downfall of the industry seems to actually be good for art. I think the industry will find their way once the focus shifts from its greed-based origins downsizes and begins to support creative visions that speak to our times and shifting ideals.
I went to art school actually when I was sixteen years old.
Actually I think Art lies in both directions - the broad strokes big picture but on the other hand the minute examination of the apparently mundane. Seeing the whole world in a grain of sand that kind of thing.
I think art is inherently nonviolent and it actually occupies your mind with creation rather than destruction.
