“There is a danger in becoming an icon, as people can see you as remote and untouchable, and they are less willing to tolerate you doing things that don't fit with their preconceived idea of you. Iconic status can be like a pair of handcuffs, especially if, like me, you wish to continually stretch yourself creatively, as Warhol did.” PeopleIfsIdeasWishDangerWillingBecomingFitLike MePairsTolerateIconsIconicWarholUntouchablesPreconceived IdeasHandcuffs Author:Giorgio Armani

People willing to eat flies and worms for a sum that is less than the weekly paycheck of the show's producer.

That's when my faith became real to me.” IfsWorldRealWantedSacrificeWillingFitI RealizedGods WillRevelationsPassagesFittingLukewarmBest Of Both Worlds Author:Matt Diaz
“My first guiding principle is this: willing and active co-operation between independent sovereign states. Europe will be stronger precisely because it has France as France, Spain as Spain, Britain as Britain, each with its own customs, traditions and identity. It would be folly to try to fit them into some sort of identikit European personality.” TryingFirstsStatesWould BePrinciplesIdentityWillingPersonalityFitEuropeTraditionStrongerIndependentActiveFranceOperationsFollyBritainCustomsSovereignSpainGuiding Principles Book:CPC [publications].
