“I don't take so-called "vacations" often. In fact vacations are more stressful than the lives my wife and I worked hard to set up for ourselves in New York. It seems like being on vacation is like normal living, which is not very satisfying. It means we're figuring out what to make for lunch today, and that seems like such an absurd way to live. The issue of dealing with that doesn't seem to be so prominent back home. It sounds so silly and ridiculous, but it's really the way it is. We love what we do, so I prefer being in the studio; that's really living for me.” WayMeanHardFactsHomeSeemsTodaySoundIssuesWifeNew YorkNormalStudiosMy WifeRidiculousSillyAbsurdLunchSatisfyingVacationStressfulBack HomeWay To LiveProminentReally Living Author:Ryan McGinness

“I always think about Katharine Graham - she was the publisher of The Washington Post. In her autobiography she talks about the way her parents met. Her father was, I think, in New York just walking by on his way home and looked into a store and saw the lady that became his wife. It was just pure luck. And she said that it once again reminds her of the role that luck and chance play in our life. I really believe that, too.” ThinkingWayBelieveSaidPlayHomeFatherParentChanceRolesSawsOur LivesWifeNew YorkWalkingMetsPureLuckStoresPostsAutobiographyPublishersWay Home Author:Owen Wilson

Yet, we know that Mann's novella was based on a holiday in Venice he took with his wife and brother, and that while he was there he followed the reports in the German newspapers, describing the dying Mahler's progress as he returned from New York to Vienna.” KnowsCharacterWifeProgressDyingNew YorkStudentsBrotherSceneNewspapersReportsHolidayComposerDescribingVenicePresentingViennaMahler Author:Philip Kitcher
