I decided at 15 that I didn't want to be one of those artists that gets up and sings love songs they don't mean. I decided that I was going to be me to the fullest extent, that my songs were going to reflect relationships I've had, things I've been through, and even the stuff I'm embarrassed about.
Organizations want small changes in functionality on a more regular basis. An organization like Flickr deploys a new version of its software every half hour. This is a cycle that feeds on itself.
What I want to make clear though is that we oppose terrorism in any form. However, any operation against terrorism should be under the framework of the United Nations and follow the fundamental principles of international laws.
To become self-aware, people must be allowed to hear a plurality of opinions and then make up their own minds. They must be allowed to say, write and publish whatever they want. Freedom of expression is the most basic, but fundamental, right. Without it, human beings are reduced to automatons.
We've finally given liberals a war against fundamentalism, and they don't want to fight it. They would except that it would put them on the same side as the United States.
I get along so much better with fundamentalist Christians than I do with wishy-washy liberals, who want everyone to get along.
When I want to have this teenage but funny way to be, I think about Ariana Grande.
When I first did 'The Fast and the Furious', I didn't want there to be a sequel on the first one. I thought, 'Why would you rush to do a sequel - just because your first film is successful?'
I no longer want to live in an apartment furnished with forklifts and backhoes.
We want to pigeonhole things and people, but it is absurd to regard me just as a furry wig-and-britches actor.
All these other nations seem to appreciate what I'm doing and they want me to play the furthest out things.
I want to fuse the abrasive and the beautiful.
In my experience, those who make the biggest fuss about not spending much at Christmas are generally the ones who buy what they want and eat where they want 12 months a year.
My kids are Irish; I want them to grow up playing Gaelic football and learning Irish.
And several galleries - two had asked me and I said no, because I didn't want to leave things on consignment.
Producers are not gamblers. They want a good return on their investment.
I don't want to put my game plan out there for everybody to see it and read it and teams can scheme. It just doesn't make a lot of sense.
We want to create a kind of cycle where casual gamers are gradually growing up to become passionate players.
Gamers are some of the toughest people to please. They have extreme requirements. They want everything.
I think if someone has a gaming obsession, 'Ultima' became mine. I would say no other series ingrained itself in how I want to make games or what I want them to be more than 'Ultima' did.
