From a technical point of view there seemed to me to be absolutely no reason why - with the existing technology - we couldn't do very high quality audio because whereas the boom in digital graphics is ongoing the boom in digital audio has already happened.

There is no point in launching technology before customers are ready to use it.

I'm always interested in mixing technology and music. You know maybe I'll have a MIDI bass pickup at some point I don't really think that's the direction I would want to go.

The point of that is if you look at Walgreen's history they've always been pioneers in the application of technology. They're the only drugstore chain that I know to have their own satellite.

The laws of physics should allow us to arrange things molecule by molecule and even atom by atom and at some point it was inevitable that we would develop a technology that would let us do this.

My goal for technology has always been to reach a point where the technological mediation becomes invisible.

The over-all point is that new technology will not necessarily replace old technology but it will date it. By definition. Eventually it will replace it. But it's like people who had black-and-white TVs when color came out. They eventually decided whether or not the new technology was worth the investment.

The Internet is so big so powerful and pointless that for some people it is a complete substitute for life.

I taught in a small teacher's college for three or four years at which point all the administrators got a pay raise and the teaching faculty didn't.

My name is James Edward Franco. Ted is a nickname for Edward. That's what my parents called me. I also got 'Teddy Ruxpin' a lot. It just got to a point where I got sick of it so when a teacher called out 'James Franco' my junior year of high school I didn't correct her.

Literature is my life of course but from an ontological point of view. From an existential point of view I like being a teacher.

There is no teacher living or past who can give us the actual understanding of Truth. A teacher can only put our feet upon the path and point the way. That is all. It is wholly dependent on the individual to make his way to Truth.

If we wait until our lives are free from sorrow or difficulty then we wait forever. And miss the entire point.

At this point I can't say what network would be picking it up but I know that it would be a success.

I had come to the point when I realized it was unlikely that my film career was going to move beyond a certain level of role. And I was - because I had graphic instances of it - handicapped by the success of Star Trek. A director would say 'I don't want Jean-Luc Picard in my movie' - and this was compounded by X-Men as well.

There are so few women in general who aren't completely threatened and confused by other women's success. It's very disappointing.

I've had a lot of success over the years racing in New York but the main point is that I feel the marathon is a different event a lot more my event.

I don't think success arrives and you're suddenly happy. It's not like that. If people think that they'll be very disappointed.

The Occupy movement needs an organizing principle and - just as the Tea Party did - it needs some actual measures of success. Choose one candidate whose agenda is squarely within that of the movement and make his or her electoral success a focal point.

Which is - you know like check it out I'm pretty young I'm only about 40 years old. I still have maybe another four decades of work left in me. And it's exceedingly likely that anything I write from this point forward is going to be judged by the world as the work that came after the freakish success of my last book right?

If there is any one secret of success it lies in the ability to get the other person's point of view and see things from that person's angle as well as from your own.

Definiteness of purpose is the starting point of all achievement.

The starting point of all achievement is desire.

If at first you don't succeed try try again. Then quit. There's no point in being a damn fool about it.
