I do a lot of traveling around the world.
I used to watch the world as if it was a performance and I would realize that certain things that people did moved me, and certain things didn't move me, and I tried to analyze, even at that age, six and seven and eight, why I was moved by certain things they did.
The modern world is personal; people want to know intimate things.
People saw me as being heroic, but I was no more heroic than I was with other injuries I had, like the lacerated kidney I suffered during the 1990 World Series. It's just that people haven't known anyone with a lacerated kidney, but everyone can relate to someone with cancer.
The world needs a better understanding of how to encourage innovation. And innovators need to get better at it. Sign me up.
I think the hip hop world and the rock world still have a lot in common, but it certainly seems like things happen and break at a much faster pace in the hip hop world.
In a world of inhumanity, war and terrorism, American citizenship is a very precious possession.
What makes me so confident is my coaches, my team: they are the best in the world, and if it wasn't for them, I wouldn't be here.
For example, I wouldn't hesitate to sit somebody down if he wasn't performing, even if he was the No. 1 player in the world. I've been sat down before.
I get up at 4:30 in the morning, seven days a week, no matter where I am in the world.
I'm pretty pleased with my place in the world.
Anyone interested in the world generally can't help being interested in young adult culture - in the music, the bands, the books, the fashions, and the way in which the young adult community develops its own language.
When I opened the world's largest Internet cafe, certified by the 'Guinness Book of Records,' in Times Square in New York, I was live on 'Good Morning America,' and for me, that was an achievement.
The corporate grip on opinion in the United States is one of the wonders of the Western world. No First World country has ever managed to eliminate so entirely from its media all objectivity - much less dissent.
I have fans all around the world.
Chris and I care about each other and we're still friends. Tom is the most incredible man in the world.
The reason there's not a dictatorship in Chile and that there's a democracy in South Africa and Portugal today - and that Haiti has a nascent democracy - is that the world community as a whole felt outraged. This is the reason Milosevic sits in a jail in The Hague. It's because the world has said, 'Enough.'
I had the classic 40 meltdown. I did. It's embarrassing. It was pretty funny. But then I recovered. To me, it was like a second adolescence. Hormonally, my body was changing, my mind was changing, and so my relationship to myself and the world around me came to this assault of finiteness.
Is the U.S. better or is the world better? Is the U.S. better off today than we were four years ago? Obviously not, economically not. I think our stature in the world is not the same.
In this world of change, nothing which comes stays, and nothing which goes is lost.
My business is can I create a world that's possible and could happen? I think that's the only thing that I have to do, and I think that I have done that each time.
Generally I don't like doing remakes, but I think that's more in the cynical world of Hollywood where normally remakes are purely for commercial reasons.
The best way to make the most serious point in the world is to be as unserious as possible.
Stories need stupid decisions that, at the time, seem absolutely rational and necessary. Without stupid decisions, the world isn't thrown out of balance, and so there's no need for a 'rest of the story' to balance it back.
I love Joan Didion, but I love her writing. I don't think meeting her could solve my problems or make me understand the world better.
What a man does for pay is of little significance. What he is, as a sensitive instrument responsive to the world's beauty, is everything!
The best feeling in the world is when you child just comes up to you and lays their head in your lap, for no other reason but just because.
My favorite food in the world is hard shell crabs from Maryland.
The only thing I can say about having this type of success is that you can get yourself in trouble because basically the world is set open for you. People will say yes to anything you ask, so it's basically down to you and what you want or need.
The World Wide Web went from zero to millions of web pages in a few years. Many revolutions look irrelevant just before they change everything swiftly.
Politics is not a world for the squeamish or fainthearted.
Environmentalists have been outspoken in their support of smaller family size and abortion rights as keys to reducing global warming. But when it comes to immigration, the single biggest contributor to population growth in the industrial world, they stand largely silent.
I would say invisibility would be sort of a fun power to have just to see what it was like to move through the world and not be looked at.
Bottom line: if you show a genuine interest in learning about how others became successful, you can open up a world of opportunities.
My suggestion is that we should first work to ensure the Third World has clean drinking water and sanitation.
Fair tax does not mean we don't want to encourage wealth creation. Wealth creation is how we raise the money to pay for world class schools and hospitals, for proper care of the weak, and dignity for the elderly.
