Parenthood and family come first for me and when I'm not working I'm cool with the Teletubbies.

I'm doing everything that I can working with experts really studying the statistics to figure out a way we can make it cool or normal to be kind and loving.

Equipped with cell phones beepers and handheld computers the 'conspicuously industrious' blur the line between home and office by working anytime anywhere.

I use computers for email staying current with my own website as well as finding important information through other websites. I also use it for creating MP3 files of new music I'm working on.

We've been working now with computers and education for 30 years computers in developing countries for 20 years and trying to make low-cost machines for 10 years. This is not a sudden turn down the road.

But computers have changed the world for everyone so there will be some way of working it out.

You can involve yourself in electronics computers puzzles... there's a lot of creativity and brain working. There's a lot to model trains that people don't realize.

Google is working on self-driving cars and they seem to work. People are so bad at driving cars that computers don't have to be that good to be much better.

Part of the inhumanity of the computer is that once it is competently programmed and working smoothly it is completely honest.

Tim and Fritz Lang I loved working with. Not Hitchcock so much. There was no communication.

It has to be able to play at the maximum expression and communication in every style and the only way you can do that is - like Verdi said - working with a file every day little by little until the orchestra's collective qualities emerge.

I shoot a little bit maybe two rolls medium format which is 20 pictures and if it's not working I change the position.

I'm doing it because I choose it. And if it's not working I can make a change.

It wasn't so long ago that I was a working mom myself. And I know that sometimes much as we all hate to admit it it's just easier to park the kids in front of the TV for a few hours so we can pay the bills or do the laundry or just have some peace and quiet for a change.

It's time to get real folks. Hope and change ain't working. Hope and change is not a solution. Hope and change is not a job.

You know I don't really do that much looking inside me when I'm working on a project. Whatever I am becomes what that film is. But I change you change.

The world we see that seems so insane is the result of a belief system that is not working. To perceive the world differently we must be willing to change our belief system let the past slip away expand our sense of now and dissolve the fear in our minds.

'Blind Curve ' the book I'm working on now sprang from a crazy incident that happened to me last year while on my book tour. I was pulled out of my car for a minor traffic violation - an incident that escalated into my being thrown into cuffs and told I was going to jail. Except in my story the hero doesn't get off as easily as I did.

I have a 6-year-old and his thing is to turn on Radio Disney in the car and I get such an allergic reaction to listening to that music and the context into which it falls. I'm really working on him about that.

My health is wonderful. I work out. I'm working. Playing music. I have a beautiful wife a nice home a nice car I got money in the bank. I got three beautiful dogs that love me. Like I said I'm blessed. I survived.

It's just that fun atmosphere working on the car being with the guys. This is exactly what I needed.

Some people think my father was a spy because of working for that government agency in Vietnam but he can't find his car keys much less keep a national secret.

So I remember when I was a kid I was waiting for my mom to come home when she was working late and you know I was like 'Oh my God what happened to her? Is she OK? Did something happen to her getting in the car?' I was a little kid. But those are actually early onsets of anxiety.

Television is such an evolving medium. When you're doing a TV show it's not like you just shoot for six weeks and you're in an editing room with all of your footage. It's like a guitar or a car you have to fine tune things. You stop doing what's not working you work on what is working and you add things that do work.
