My philosophy of life is that if we make up our mind what we are going to make of our lives then work hard toward that goal we never lose - somehow we win out.

Beginning today treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend to them all the care kindness and understanding you can muster and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again.

Once you say you're going to settle for second that's what happens to you in life.

The truth is you don't know what is going to happen tomorrow. Life is a crazy ride and nothing is guaranteed.

There are half a billion people that listen to music online and the vast majority are doing so illegally. But if we bring those people over to the legal side and Spotify what is going to happen is we are going to double the music industry and that will lead to more artists creating great new music.

I showed that privacy was an implicit right in Jewish law probably going back to the second or third century when it was elaborated on in a legal way.

Sooner or later they are going to live in a New York City where gay marriage is not only legal but it's common and they don't even notice.

Sadly embryonic stem cell research is completely legal in this country and has been going on at universities and research facilities for years.

I think people should have the legal right to hurt themselves without fearing that they're going to get locked up for doing so. But on a personal level if someone I loved was hurting himself or herself in front of me I would of course try to restrain them.

The Supreme Court ruled that disabled golfer Casey Martin has a legal right to ride in a golf cart between shots at PGA Tour events. Man the next thing you know they're going to have some guy carry his clubs around for him.

I think I'm going to spend some time learning how to be a first-time mom and then I'll go back to work.

I was 17 and just learning what high fidelity was what good sound was and learning the mechanics of tape machines. It was a real education going right from the consumer end to the record factory.

Productivity is going to be a critical issue. And it's not just about getting more time for professors in the classroom. It involves reexamining the learning experience and restructuring faculty and the use of faculty time.

What makes this story so remarkable is that throughout my early childhood I had ongoing learning difficulties particularly in mathematics. I struggled to learn the multiplication table and no matter how hard I tried I simply couldn't remember 6 times 7 or 7 times 8.

To the Kenyan families school doesn't really matter because none of them are going on to college. Almost all of drop out of school and so they're spending their time learning things that are important to them.

I felt that if there wasn't going to be a good opportunity then I would just go back to second units which I love keep working with great directors keep learning and knowing that the opportunity would come when the time was right.

The best part of learning any profession when you're really going through those huge stretching escalated times of learning and energy is when you want to do it so much.

Yes it is a rehearsed show yes it was analogy of going to see a play at the theatre where everything has to be in place and whole things everything being works all works together to get the best effect you know it's more like an actor learning a part.

We're all like children. We may think we grow up but to me being grown up is death stopping thinking trying to find out things going on learning.

If I don't need the money I don't work. I'm going to spend time with my family and friends and I'm going to travel and read and listen to music and try to learn a little bit more about how to be a human being as opposed to learning how to be somebody else.

What keeps you confident in a healthy way is knowing that everyone else around you is going to support you and teach you and you're going to learn from them. I just feel open to learning from people.

When we think about online learning it's such 'early days.' Bill Gates is a wildly smart insightful guy. Yet even a guy as smart and insightful as that 30 years ago can say things like 'Who's every going to need more than 640K of memory?'

Learning operatic roles is ongoing and I find that I can learn on the train or subway during a manicure getting my hair done and even while driving if I only look at the score at red lights.

And one thing I definitely enjoyed personally from a selfish point of view was exploration and going to places that I had never been to before and learning you know meeting the people and getting to know new sights and sounds etc.
