History provides a laboratory in which we see played out the actual, as well as the intended, consequences of ideas.
I think any period in history can be adapted into interesting fiction, as long as you approach the actual history with respect.
The globalization of the capital market is actually part of economic globalization. This will create a change in the entire world economy, not just restricted to some fields in some countries.
If you actually want to change your world, there is a better way of doing it than blowing yourself up.
I know so many people who actually just watch television on their computers now and don't even really watch their TV anymore.
I closely follow everything about user interface or human-computer interface: technology that makes computers closer to the way the human being actually functions.
I'm actually pretty good with computers. I use computers when I'm working on making and producing music, so I do know a thing or two!
The serenity prayer, 'God grant me the strength to accept...' That's a prayer that's actually in my car. I say it every day.
My dad actually taught me how to do the catwalk because he used to do modeling. He taught me how to do that little swivel at the end.
My dad took me to my first movie. It was 'The Greatest Show on Earth' in 1952, a movie of such scale it was actually a traumatic experience.
I think we brothers realised his loss more and more as we grew older. We actually grew closer after his death.

Now I can look back and say I actually like the upbringing I had and my father was very attentive and a great educator.
I do like Marylin Manson, actually. I think, he's very talented and he did make some great music.
As my own boss, I have the opportunity to get to work with great brands like Old Navy, and I get to style some looks together that people can actually buy and afford.
Songwriting is actually a really great outlet. I kind of recommend it. You get to sum up whatever is going on in your life in a song, then perform it really passionately.
No I'm not a great believer in getting back over things and saying if only, or if, or buts because I don't think we actually get anywhere on that.
Whether the earth was created in seven days or seven actual eras, I'm not sure we'll ever be able to answer that. It's one of the great mysteries.
I've got a great cigar collection - it's actually not a collection, because that would imply I wasn't going to smoke every last one of 'em.
I think it's a great thing to have failed in life and then pulled yourself up by the boot straps and actually done something, because then you appreciate it more.
