• There's all of the DVD extra material and all these other pieces of information that don't fit into a 90-minute experience, but it's still content and people still want to see it. It's being open to [the fact that] the business is changing and being open to how you can make money to afford you to stay in business to keep making new things. I think you just have to have an open mind and be really smart about stuff and not be so locked into the conventional way of how the process used to go.

• That was Robert Aldrich. And that [Emperor Of The North] was one of the only times I actually got a part in a movie in the conventional way: The role was there, I auditioned, I auditioned again, and then I actually did a full-fledged screen test, which they shot on a soundstage on the lot at 20th Century Fox. They put up a set, and Robert Aldrich actually directed me in this screen test.

• La tolerancia de la diversidad es imperativa, porque sin ella la vida perdería su sabor. El progreso en las artes, en las ciencias, en las pautas de ajuste social surge de la diversidad y depende de la tolerancia de las desviaciones individuales de los modos y actitudes convencionales.

• The status quo is a very powerful opiate and when you have a system that seems to be working and producing profits by the conventional way of accounting for profits. It's very hard to make yourself change. But we all know that change is an inevitable part of business. Once you have ridden a wave just so far, you have to get another wave. We all know that. For us, becoming restorative has been that new wave and we have been riding it for 13 years now. It's been incredibly good for business.

• I saw that we needed to grow but our top line wasn't growing, so we had to find other ways to grow the business. We had to reshape our business and acquire share in a non conventional way. But most tech leaders don't come out of a business background. They really have a parochial point of view. All they know are the go-go years of Silicon Valley. That's the environment in which they were raised.

• Su inspiración musical opera en un mundo libre de líneas de compás convencionales, cambios de acordes convencionales y formas convencionales de soplar o digitar un saxofón. Estas "limitaciones" prácticas ni siquiera tuvieron que superarse en su música; de alguna manera, nunca existieron para él. A pesar de ello, o mejor dicho, gracias a ello, su forma de tocar tiene una profunda lógica interior. No es una lógica superficial obvia, sino que se basa en sutilezas de reacción, sutilezas de tiempo y color que, en mi opinión, son bastante nuevas en el jazz, al menos nunca han aparecido de una forma tan pura y directa.

• Horror need not always be a long-fanged gentleman in evening clothes or a dismembered corpse or a doctor who keeps a brain in his gold fish bowl. It may be a warm sunny day, the innocence of girlhood and hints of unexplored sexuality that combine to produce a euphoria so intense it becomes transporting, a state beyond life or death. Such horror is unspeakable not because it is gruesome but because it remains outside the realm of things that can be easily defined or explained in conventional ways.
