I must admit that I personally measure success in terms of the contributions an individual makes to her or his fellow human beings.
We were starting to lose track with Earth because fame and success brings you many things that you're not really prepared for or know how to deal with as a human being.
When an individual is protesting society's refusal to acknowledge his dignity as a human being, his very act of protest confers dignity on him.
Certainly another Brad Sherman might be annoying, but it isn't something society doesn't know how to deal with. But a new level of human being is something else.
There is little or no point being chair of the Labour Party and being ignored when engaging with Labour ministers when you're trying to articulate something that affects ordinary people in society.
Giving teenagers some inspiration, a single role model and an opportunity to be part of something bigger at a critical point in their lives can be the difference between being a productive or being a destructive member of society.
When I looked at the addictive qualities of video games and how they captivate people's attention, I decided to try the same technology for enhancing well-being.
I'm always most comfortable in the studio. It's my comfort zone. I love being there, and I love making records.
Travel, for me, is a little bit like being in love because suddenly, all your senses are at the setting marked 'on.' Suddenly, you're alert to the secret patterns of the world.
There's a big difference between falling in love and being in love. There's a big difference between infatuation and falling in love.
I know, being a father myself, what my interpretation of true love is, or the essence of love, and you can apply it to other things besides human beings.
