What we actually learn from any given set of circumstances determines whether we become increasingly powerless or more powerful.

The best thing about acting is that I get to lose myself in another character and actually get paid for it... It's a great outlet. I'm not really sure who I am - it seems I change every day.

The beauty of having short hair is that I actually can wash and style it at home!

People see you as an object not as a person and they project a set of expectations onto you. People who don't have it think beauty is a blessing but actually it sets you apart.

I've actually spent a lot of time researching beauty products how they are produced and how they are sold.

The compulsion to do good is an innate American trait. Only North Americans seem to believe that they always should may and actually can choose somebody with whom to share their blessings. Ultimately this attitude leads to bombing people into the acceptance of gifts.

What matters to me is that I do what I think is right and I see I'm a numbers guy that's my attitude. I know we have a debt tsunami coming we are bankrupting this country and I'm in a position where I can actually advance ideas to prevent that from happening. That's exactly what I should be doing.

A positive attitude is not going to save you. What it's going to do is everyday between now and the day you die whether that's a short time from now or a long time from now that every day you're going to actually live.

I'd like to introduce someone who has just come into my life. I've admired him for 35 years. He's someone who represents integrity honesty art and on top of that stuff I'm actually sleeping with him.

The downfall of the industry seems to actually be good for art. I think the industry will find their way once the focus shifts from its greed-based origins downsizes and begins to support creative visions that speak to our times and shifting ideals.

I went to art school actually when I was sixteen years old.

Actually I think Art lies in both directions - the broad strokes big picture but on the other hand the minute examination of the apparently mundane. Seeing the whole world in a grain of sand that kind of thing.

I think art is inherently nonviolent and it actually occupies your mind with creation rather than destruction.

I like it when somebody tells me a story and I actually really feel that that's becoming like a lost art in American cinema.

The finest works of art are precious among other reasons because they make it possible for us to know if only imperfectly and for a little while what it actually feels like to think subtly and feel nobly.

I was a student at Columbia College actually in the Architecture school. Paul would drive in from Queens showing me these new songs. I can't remember us working it out.

The process I go through in the art and the architecture I actually want it to be almost childlike. Sometimes I think it's magical.
