MobyI'm almost mentally incapable of drawing a distinction between art I make for the masses, or my clients, and that I make for myself. It all flows from what gets me off, ultimately.

Clayton James CubittAny story that gets us thinking, and particularly young people, thinking why?

Was it necessary? And anything that gets us thinking like that is really important.

Edward ZwickI am convinced that, despite what you think of Obama, I don't think Obama has a person-to-person connection with people.

Rush LimbaughTo clean your face thoroughly, even do a scrub, and let it sit and make sure your pores are clean before you go to club. If it sits on your face overnight, dirt just builds up.

Arthur LafferWriting is mysterious, and it's supposed to be...any path that gets you there is a good path in the end. But one true thing among all these paths is the need to tap a deep vein of connection between our own uncontrollable interior preoccupations and what we're most concerned about in the world around us.
