Though I still have no semblance of a life outside of Nine Inch Nails at the moment I realize my goals have gone from getting a record deal or selling another record to being a better person more well-rounded having friends having a relationship with somebody.

I was associated with a woman who I was involved with and had a relationship with. She asked for money. I felt as though I was being blackmailed or there was some sort of extortion.

It seems I have a hard time being attracted to someone unless I respect what they do on some level. Otherwise I would feel disdain for them. Which is not always pleasant in a relationship. Sometimes it's fun though.

I couldn't be in a relationship and behave like somebody else or pretend I felt something I didn't feel. And that includes saying things I thought might jeopardize the relationship.

I also think the relationship I have with my audience is a lot more complex than what Hitchcock seemed to want his to be - although I think he had more going on under the surface as well.

I'd never really thought about it before but now you ask I can see that how my parents handled money definitely affected my relationship with it.

Then there is the further question of what is the relationship of thinking to reality. As careful attention shows thought itself is in an actual process of movement.

My father and I had a good relationship it was very relaxed. He had a lot of humour. He looked a little bit like me although he had no beard. He had the appearance of a very elegant British-looking man.

I usually write for the individual reader -though I would like to have many such readers. There are some poets who write for people assembled in big rooms so they can live through something collectively. I prefer my reader to take my poem and have a one-on-one relationship with it.

Although we were never pals and occasionally butted heads my relationship with Clinton and his wife Hillary made me a better journalist.

There was at time in my life where all I wanted was a relationship and I thought that was the most important thing.

But the cause for which we fought was higher our thought wider... That thought was our power.

Thoughts have power thoughts are energy. And you can make your world or break it by your own thinking.

I used to wish there was a useful term for those of us who thought American power should be used to remove psychopathic dictators.

In the United States though power corrupts the expectation of power paralyzes.

Even though worker capacity and motivation are destroyed when leaders choose power over productivity it appears that bosses would rather be in control than have the organization work well.

I think that the power is the principle. The principle of moving forward as though you have the confidence to move forward eventually gives you confidence when you look back and see what you've done.
