Yes, I will put it out there - I will work for anyone for free if they're prepared to make their clothing Fair Trade and organic. It's really hard to get people interested in it.
What helped me most were my failures and slumps - when I couldn't get work, people weren't interested in me or had written me off.
I'd like to work more, but I don't just want to do kind of generic characters. I want to do interesting characters, and I'd like to be cast against type.
The more interesting the 9-to-5 work is, the more it takes away from my real work, which is writing.
I don't see myself as a rock star. I don't see myself in that way. I'm interested in work that offers some sort of critical dialogue.
I have an ability to work collegially across a wide range of interests in the caucus and in the Congress, and an ability to work on a bipartisan basis. Appropriators pride themselves on that.
The market doesn't make communities. Markets make networks of self-interested individuals, and they work as long as there's more than enough to go around.
I'm more interested in having a place to work out my voice and my body than I am in having furniture.
It's not my fault if the media and the public are more interested in Tiger Woods than in women farm workers.

People were really interested in what was going on because of the international context of the Cold War.
Good things sell themselves; those that are bad have to be advertised.
It is a fine thing to die for one's fatherland, but a still finer thing to live for it.
Who does not know one thing knows another.
As the spokes of a wheel are attached to the hub, so all things are attached to life.
You can do the right thing that seems wrong to others, or the wrong thing that seems right, and its actually puerile to await recommendation when what you are about to do doesn't concerns anyone.
We need to have a purpose in this life. I'm pleading with you, I'm begging with you to do the right thing. And do it not for the sake of how it will impact your own lives, but only for the sake of doing the right thing.
Things that try to look like things often do look more like things than things.
Could it be that desire for a good thing has become a bad thing because that desire has become a ruling thing?
