I work on OpenBSD fulltime as the project leader. I set some directions increase communication between the developers and try to be involved in nearly every aspect of the base system.

In my teaching I enjoyed creating models to clearly communicate my thoughts.

I try to just communicate what I want done as clearly and simply as possible.

Few expected very much of Franklin Roosevelt on Inauguration Day in 1933. Like Barack Obama seventy-six years later he was succeeding a failed Republican president and Americans had voted for change. What that change might be Roosevelt never clearly said probably because he himself didn't know.

Today in America we are trying to prepare students for a high tech world of constant change but we are doing so by putting them through a school system designed in the early 20th Century that has not seen substantial change in 30 years.

Early in life I had to choose between honest arrogance and hypocritical humility. I chose the former and have seen no reason to change.

In my early professional years I was asking the question: How can I treat or cure or change this person? Now I would phrase the question in this way: How can I provide a relationship which this person may use for his own personal growth?

I went to watch my father at Silverstone in the early 1950s and I've still got the car he was in.

Yeah I left Idaho at 17. You know I graduated high school a year early and just you know the typical story packed up my car and moved out.

Like all soul singers I grew up singing in church but sometimes I would leave early and sit in the car listening to gospel band The Blind Boys of Alabama. Hearing their lead singer Clarence made me connect the idea of church and show business and see how I could make a career singing music that stirred the soul.

So I remember when I was a kid I was waiting for my mom to come home when she was working late and you know I was like 'Oh my God what happened to her? Is she OK? Did something happen to her getting in the car?' I was a little kid. But those are actually early onsets of anxiety.

A muscle is like a car. If you want it to run well early in the morning you have to warm it up.

I was already on pole then by half a second and then one second and I just kept going. Suddenly I was nearly two seconds faster than anybody else including my team mate with the same car.

I learned from Mr. Wrigley early in my career that loyalty wins and it creates friendships. I saw it work for him in his business.

The stores and the things like that the business side of things came out at the point when I'd say probably in the early '70s it looked like the year of the singer-songwriter was over 'cause music changed in our time and the spotlight was out.

I think early on I knew what I was going to do and it was based a lot on familiarity but it was also because I didn't have a lot of skills. There was nothing I wanted t be. I didn't want to be a doctor. I wanted to be in show business.

As an actress emotions are my business my stock-in-trade. As such I've dealt with them nearly all my life.
