Yet in this global economy, no jobs are safe. High-speed Internet connections and low-cost, skilled labor overseas are an explosive combination.
I don't type on the computer or edit. Law students who went to law school really just a couple years after I did were brought up all on the computers and that's how they do it, but I was still part of the older school.
Here is a new car, a new iPhone. We buy. We discard. We buy again. In recent years, we've been doing it faster.
Dogs feel very strongly that they should always go with you in the car, in case the need should arise for them to bark violently at nothing right in your ear.
There are signs, I think, that people aren't satisfied by consumerism: that people resent the fact that the most moral decision in their lives is choosing what colour their next car will be.
The ought to be a worldwide cultural taskforce that just stops you when you have ideas like combining The Red Desert with an armored car heist movie.
I've played D&D for years. I'm a comic book guy. Comic-Con in San Diego is nerd Christmas for me.

The number of kids affected by obesity has tripled since 1980, and this can be traced in large part to lack of exercise and a healthy diet.
I believe in a higher power and I believe in good and bad, right and wrong. You sleep in the bed you make.
You can't make everybody love you. It's an exercise in futility, and it's probably not even a good idea to try.
TV feels quite constipated, and the thing I find particularly difficult is the branding of the channels where it's not 'Is it a good script?' but 'Is it a BBC2 script?'
And when you're on your own there is that terrifying possibility that you may be the only person on the planet who thinks it's funny - and you have no way of finding out.
I felt the calling to adopt. You just know in the deepest part of your being that you are meant to find this little soul and guide them through life.
I love mixing with comedians when I'm working with them, but when I'm not I don't feel the need to hang around with them.
I don't walk into a dinner party and say, 'You're an idiot; give me my coat.'
As I look back over fifty years of ministry, I recall innumerable tests, trials and times of crushing pain. But through it all, the Lord has proven faithful, loving, and totally true to all his promises.
Once you start doing a lot, you don't ever want to stop working. It feels weird if you're not doing something.
