fun steps sometimes
Sometimes the failures can be exciting and fun. It's just a step on the road, it's not the end of something.
art war book
I'd been influenced by reading books on art and colonies that existed in Paris and places like that and so when I came to Europe I came to France and I had very little money, and I had to live low and stayed in a bohemian section of Paris with a lot of other students, who were from medical school, science school and art school. We all lived in a kind of communal way and I was challenged politically, because I didn't have a clue and they would ask me questions about the Algerian War, which was very big in France in the late '50s.
thinking dying lows
I have a very low regard for cynics. I think it's the beginning of dying.
art real loneliness
Ideas aren't real estate, they grow collectively and that knocks out the egotistical loneliness that generally infects art.
utah law people
Utah is changing. There are good people in Utah. More people want to change the discriminatory laws than want to keep them. People should be able to marry whomever they love.
thinking
I didn't think about politics until I came to Europe.
children growing-up people
I did not, like my children and people today, grow up with television as part of my life.
love rain boat
When did Noah build the boat? - Before the rain.
art thinking sea
The world around us is in a sea change, and I think the glory of art is that it cannot only survive change, it can lead it
thinking film
I think Hollywood... well, there is no Hollywood anymore so let's just call it the mainstream since the business is no longer Hollywood producing its own films and then distributing, they just distribute.
horse dad moving
The way I deal with arthritis is to keep moving. As long as I can play hard tennis, as long as I can ski or ride a horse - all kinds of things can come your way. As long as you can, do it. People who retire die. My dad retired and died shortly after. Just keep moving.
truth lying reality
What is it with you people? You think not getting caught in a lie is the same thing as telling the truth?
long beverly-hills los-angeles
If you stay in Beverly Hills too long, you become a Mercedes.
issues challenges climate
If we want energy security, then we have to reduce our appetite for fossil fuels. There's no other way. Other issues may crowd the headlines, but this is our fundamental challenge. Big challenges require bold action and leadership. To get the United States off fossil fuels in this uneasy national climate of terrorism and conflict in the Persian Gulf, we must treat the issue with the urgence and persistance it deserves. The measure of our success will be the condition on which we leave the world for the next generation.
