“ALS does not affect cognitive process. Stephen Hawking, one of smartest people on the planet, has ALS. It rarely affects the eyes. It doesn't affect senses like hearing, taste and touch.” PeopleDoeEyeProcessPlanetsTasteHearingSensesAlsCognitive Author:Steve Gleason
“Model building is the art of selecting those aspects of a process that are relevant to the question being asked. As with any art, this selection is guided by taste, elegance, and metaphor; it is a matter of induction, rather than deduction.

“Even personal tastes are learned, in the matrix of a culture or a subculture in which we grow up, by very much the same kind of process by which we learn our common values.

“What I love about directing is finding common ground in complementary palate with wardrobe, set design, the camera department, the makeup department, et cetera. I love figuring out that synergy. To have everything work in concert is amazing, I love working with that kind of logic. Directing is a cavalcade of taste decisions - this one or that one, but I raather enjoy it and am in the process of setting up the next endeavor.” KindNextProcessEnjoyDecisionCommonDesignTasteFindingsLogicCamerasSettingSettingsDepartmentMakeupEndeavorConcertsWardrobeCommon GroundPalateSynergyComplementary Author:Billy Zane
“It is not brilliance or facility that is necessary, but the determination to bear and even enjoy the dull process of wading into one's own bad prose again, and one more time, and then once again, with the utmost concentration and taste, looking for opportunities to mine deeper.” OpportunityProcessEnjoyMinesBearsTasteDeterminationDeeperDullProseConcentrationMore TimeFacilityBrilliance Author:Stewart O'Nan
