I see myself as a private-equity investor that helps rebuild companies. Restructuring is a cottage industry in that there aren't that many serious practitioners.
My own ideals for the university are those of a genuine democracy and serious scholarship. These two, indeed, seem to go together.
I am still of opinion that only two topics can be of the least interest to a serious and studious mood - sex and the dead.
I suppose that Heartland, Unknown Soldier and Pride and Joy represent not a quieter side but more of a serious side to my work, something I've been getting into recently.
You have to have a work ethic, and you have to be educated in what you're doing. You have to take it seriously. It doesn't mean that everything you do has to be serious. But you've got to have the tools.
In the '70s, in Britain, if you were going to do serious photography, you were obliged to work in black-and-white. Color was the palette of commercial photography and snapshot photography.

If the president is going to use so much language of theology and the Bible, then let's use that language for a serious discussion about the war in Iraq. And that was never done.
To be deeply committed to negotiations, to be opposed to a particular war or military action, is not only considered unpatriotic, it also casts serious doubt on one's manhood.
When I was first sent from H.M.S. King Alfred to be interviewed by Goodeve in the Admiralty, I was furious. The War seemed to me, in June of 1940, to be desperately serious, and England in imminent peril of invasion.
I pressed my dark issues to the back of my mind and smiled a slight untruthful happiness . . .
We all have issues & we have usually come by them honestly.
These issues are so important. I just felt the best thing to do right now is contribute and go forward.
All I know for sure is that issues like race, like class, are always best approached with compassion and open-mindedness.
I think the best way to get over your body issues is to just flaunt your body at every opportunity.
