Stand in my lobby at 5:30 P.M., and there is no one who gets out of the lift who is not on a gadget. No one is talking to each other. I get in the lift and say, 'Hello,' and everyone's head is down tapping on a screen.
I've spiked a toilet seat before, a gallon of milk, even eggs. If you say it, I've probably spiked it before.
I'd even say possibly I'm one of the best gamers in the NBA. I play everything. I play every single type of genre game.
We of course will say we claim sovereignty of Judea, Samaria and the Gaza district. Others will come, and they will say we claim sovereignty. What can be the outcome?
You look at any roster and you say, 'Geez, he's pretty good. He's pretty good. He's talented. He comes off the bench?' All of a sudden, it's, 'Geez, that's a pretty good roster they got right there.'
The one stock in my portfolio which I say hasn't worked yet but has the potential for a big home run is General Motors.
I think generalizations of any sort are dangerous. I'll say, if that is the case - right now it's an American issue.
Most people generalize whatever they did, and say that was the strategy that made it work.
We couldn't generalize on the people. Some of them were known to be tough guys and they didn't say much, but some of them were kind of soft-headed, but they did that. That was an East German film.
If we say the Geneva Convention is obsolete, then what do others who have our soldiers say?
I think it's safe to say that 'manliness' was a common theme in my upbringing. It was an assumed status, but - and here's the important bit - it was the Rudyard Kipling kind. The emphasis was on gentlemanly conduct, sportsmanship, fairness and stoicism.
It takes a while for executives to understand that every company is a spatial company, fundamentally: where are our assets, where are our customers, where are our sales. But when they get it, they light up and say, 'I want to get the geographic advantage.'
One might almost say that the history of geographical discovery, properly so called, begins with Captain Cook, the motive of whose voyages was purely scientific curiosity.
There are some geologists involved with prospecting for oil and other hidden resources who can pick up a rock and say, 'Yes, there's oil under there.' A geologist who has been studying those kinds of rocks for 10 or 20 years is able to make that pronouncement.
I used to dig around the sandbox and pull out pieces of coal and show them to my mother, and she used to say that's how I must have known I was going to be a geologist.
I never thought I'd say this: what Obama needs in his personality is a little George Bush.
Historical grammar is a study of how, say, modern English developed from Middle English, and how that developed from Early and Old English, and how that developed from Germanic, and that developed from what's called Proto-Indo-European, a source system that nobody speaks, so you have to try to reconstruct it.
It is nonsense to say that Germans are unable to change.
But unfortunately, I have to say, one out of every 100 interviews I do, I get a real journalist.
I'll say this: The scariest monster in the world is human beings and what we are capable of, especially when we get together.
