The textures, colors, shadows, and lines speak of a life once lived within the confines, and the absence is as empty as it is filled. I can feel the wheel of time turn within these places as nature takes back what was only borrowed, infiltrating the cracks and seams with the tendrils of her vine-fingers, while spray painting the surfaces with moss, mold, and dirt.”

“One of the things that has changed my life - and this comes from someone who was highly self-critical and a type-A personality - is meditating.

“One of the things that I discovered while writing the Hi-Man book, and something I believe is also endemic to my communities, and to me personally from my own experience, is this: when you are the smartest person in any environment, it can actually be dangerous. You also learn very quickly that stupidity, in its numbers, is not only prevalent but also endangers you. It is a very fickle and unpredictable environment, one where the tribe rules over the individual. It’s almost like a reverse engineering of game theory, where you can’t advance at all because the equilibrium remains the same: there are simply too many factors working against you.”

I've talked with people who work in the cosmetics departments, and they tell me, Without that, you can't sell them. And that's wonderful!”

“One of the things that I love when I go to a film or when I'm reading some book or whatever, is to be told a secret I thought only I knew and then someone says, "Oh my gosh, you know, too." And film can take us into private moments in a way that the theater, I think, kind of can't, and that's one of the reasons I like doing films. And the way a book can is that these little secrets and the private things that go on in our minds that maybe we haven't shared with anyone, and then someone writes it or shows it to you in a film, you think, "Oh, that's me. Oh my God, that's me, I have that secret."”

And I am a very strong woman and very strong-willed - but there was something really great about him taking care of me and treating me and opening the door and driving, and I am perfectly OK with that. And he still does it to this day.”

They fund the big philanthropies. They're safe.”
