“It is a little bit humiliating when I have to say that Chou En-lai to me appears as the most superior brain I have so far met in the field of foreign politics... so much more dangerous than you imagine because he is so much better a man than you have ever admitted.” MenLittlesBitsBrainImagineDangerousFieldsMetsLittle BitSuperiorsHumiliating Author:Dag Hammarskjold
“The flat tax I got on my first meeting with Margaret Thatcher, who I admired very much and who was a great admirer of Milton Friedman. I met her first when I had been prime minister I think for some months and so on, and when I told her what I am planning to do, she looked at me with these big eyes and said: "You are one brave young man." And then a little bit introduced me on the realities of the Western world on which I was not very well informed. But I didn't stop.” ThinkingMenWorldFirstsWellsLittlesSaidBigsRealityEyeYoungBitsMonthsMetsTaxesLittle BitBraveMeetingsWesternPlanningMinistersYoung ManFlatsPrimePrime MinisterWestern WorldAdmirerMiltonBig EyesFlat Tax Author:Mart Laar
“As a screenwriter I'm often writing in genres where there have been thousands of movies; whereas when I direct movies they tend to be in between genres.

“I do notice that my songs fit all over the map, even in terms of the colloquialisms in them. The songs come out with their references intact, almost unheeded by me. It's like they existed somehow before they met me with their relationship to the tradition, and then they just end up coming through me at that moment because of my relationship to some certain kind of music that I've listened to in my life. I know that sounds a little bit woooey.” KnowsKindLittlesEndsMomentsCertainSongBitsSoundTermFitMetsLittle BitTraditionMapsThat Moment Author:Mirah
“I wanted to learn a little bit about acting, not because I thought I'd find a star vehicle and set the world on fire, but I thought the discipline of it would be good for me. I met a good coach, and I joined her class - with a lot of hungry young actors who really didn't acre if I was a rock 'n' roll singer or not.

“I knew Shin [Biyajima] a little bit early on, but it's funny because where I really met Shin, and where he made a strong impression on me, was in Jackson Hole.
