So many folks in the venture capital business are sheep that just want to follow the herd. They are momentum investors purchasing highly illiquid investments. That is a recipe for disaster.
For 'The Book Thief,' I wanted only one outcome, and that was for the director to follow his own vision, just as I had.
We are in the middle of a big swamp of ignorance that is taught by a lot of nonsense, propaganda, absurdity, amalgams. I have a hard time listening to any speech.

We should follow the facts wherever they lead us.

The truth is we're all searching. We're all looking for guidance, for mentors, and I'm by no means someone to follow.
I envy people with dreams and passions, but I don't think that way. I still don't have a 'bliss' to follow.

That's hard enough... but it's enough.

I think a lot of hedge funds get their trades from Wall Street and get their ideas from Wall Street. And I just like to find my own ideas. I'm reading a lot; I read a lot of news. I'm addicted to it. I basically - I follow my nose on news stories.

I'm kind of surprised that so many of those other books were almost exactly like mine. They even follow the form. There were some books that even copied the stamp. It shows so little imagination.
