Now, I know Obama was trying to take the long view, but talking about solar energy in the middle of the oil spill is like watching your house engulfed in flames and saying, 'We really should change the curtains.'
I don't know now if I'm funny. I just keep talking and hope that I hit something that's funny.
Things were very different back in 1992. There was unrest in the Middle East, we had a gridlocked Congress, and everybody was talking about Bill Cosby.
I remember talking to someone early on after I was sober about how I suddenly felt awkward at parties. They said, 'Well, you're supposed to. Everyone feels awkward at parties.' It's an appropriate feeling to feel.
The virus in the movie 'Contagion' is based on the bird flu which came out of nowhere back in 2008. Everyone thought it was going to change the way we live and it just faded away. Wait a minute, I'm talking about President Obama.
We could continue to see the euro push up.
The word is out that if you want to go to this festival, you order early. Most people didn't realize that for this year it'd be two months early, but they plan ahead.
I got sober. I stopped killing myself with alcohol. I began to think: 'Wait a minute - if I can stop doing this, what are the possibilities?' And slowly it dawned on me that it was maybe worth the risk.
The term Big Brother is from George Orwell's book 1984 - where everyone's watched over by a network of cameras called Big Brother. I've never understood why Orwell chose that phrase for somebody watching you all the time. Isn't that more like Creepy Uncle?
We continue to believe that further USD weakness in coming sessions will push the Australian dollar above US$0.7500 and that the U.S. dollar will remain the key directional driver, despite today's trade balance data.
Today's number clearly has the potential to move the currency. Upcoming data may surprise on the higher rather than lower side. Today's GDP data will likely provide further evidence of this re- acceleration.
I am reasonably happy. I didn't find Jesus or anything like that. Part of it is that I just feel that I could go home. I did not feel like that for a long time, but I could go back now.
Why do people do things that they fear? It may be that the fear contains information. Something can be interesting if you get to the other side of that fear.
We wanted something different this year. We're still keeping the musicianship, as opposed to it being a jam band fest. There's also a lot more standard bluegrass acts and we've never had an act like Bobby McFerrin before. You don't have to be a bluegrass artist - you just have to be a great artist to fit in at Telluride.
