If the amount of money going into the war economy were invested in landscape restoration, we would be in a far more positive position.

Kim Stanley Robinson

To me, nothing is more fascinating or theatrical than real life. These people are in dire situations, where something extreme has happened in their lives.

I canceled the Russian shows because, from the days of the first Dire Straits album, I've supported Amnesty International. It's not a good thing to read about people being jailed for no reason, so I raised my hand and made a small objection. It was good to do - but where do you stop?

In Tanzania, the chimps are isolated in a very tiny patch of forest.

While I was into many different types of music, and played with many different local groups, I really didn't have a band to call my own until Dire Straits was formed in 1977.

Tibor Fischer

I was a bartender for a long time, so I know how to make drinks, but I'm more likely to offer them than to have them.

The interesting thing about the China story, getting back to the macro and micro, and as dire as I think the macro story is - due to bad credit and credit extension that makes Greece and Spain and the U.S. look like child's play - when you get to the micro of individual companies, they look even worse.
