“I have every iPod that's been made ˘ that's how sick I am. I carry anything and everything I possibly would want to listen to. I have a lot of jazz. I adore Ralph Towner, Leo Kottke. I've always been a big Oscar Peterson fan. I've branched out a little bit more in rock-and-roll, but that's maybe because I'm 50 years old and I can now listen to Steely Dan again without shame. I adore the Grateful Dead. Creedence Clearwater Revival. Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young. All that's been fun to get back into. But I'm no longer interested in the Doobie Brothers.” WantYearsLittlesMadeStillsI CanBigsYoungFunBitsFansRocksBrotherLittle BitSickShameGratefulJazzGet BackOscarsRock And RollAdoreRevivalIpodsAnything And EverythingCrosbySteely Dan Author:Thomas Hampson
“My wife says that I changed people's lives or ways of thinking and that I should always be proud and grateful.

“So when I can, I try my best to meditate a little bit every day, and that helps a lot. I think that just taking a minute, or however long you can, and really acknowledging everything that you have. Acknowledging what you have, and at the same time, acknowledging what other folks don't have. And you know, you don't have to feel guilty about it, but definitely to feel grateful is the first step in giving it back.” ThinkingKnowsGivingFeelsTryingFirstsLittlesLongI CanHelpingBitsStepsMinutesLittle BitGratefulFolksGuiltyFirst Steps Author:Thao Nguyen

“I write with the idea that nobody will care about what I've written; I publish with the idea that nobody will care either. Which is why every time somebody cares enough to read a novel of mine, or respond to it - a reader, a reviewer, even my own editor - I'm a little bit amazed, and so hugely grateful.” WritingLittlesIdeasEnoughCareBitsMy OwnNovelWrittenMinesReaderLittle BitGratefulEditorsAmazedPublishReviewers Author:Lauren Grodstein
