• What I get on a yoga mat, and from a yoga teacher, has been more beneficial onstage than any other workshop I've ever done. And it starts with that breath; it starts with getting out of my head and really just slowing the system down and being in a true present moment with each and every breath. That then allows me to be a more balanced and focused individual onstage.

• It is not simply that these two cities are perched side by side at the edge of the Pacific; it is that adolescence sits next to middle age, and they don't know how to relate to each other. In a way, these two cities exist in different centuries. San Diego is a post-industrial city talking about settling down, slowing down, building clean industry. Tijuana is a preindustrial city talking about changing, moving forward, growing. Yet they form a single metropolitan area.

• In my experience, whatever happens clings to us like barnacles on the hull of a ship, slowing us slightly, both uglifying and giving us texture. You can scrape all you want, you can, if you have money, hire someone else to scrape, but the barnacles will come back or at least leave a blemish on the steel.

• He waved to the city and said good-bye. The city responded by carrying on the way it always did, traffic moving forward uninterrupted, without slowing, as if it were trying to demonstrate its permanence and show him it would still be there if he ever wanted to return. That promise was the best and only thing he could ask of it.

• La mayor parte de mi trabajo consiste en ralentizar más que en acelerar. Prefiero mirar impresiones que escaneos, y prefiero mirar impresiones originales en plata que impresiones digitales. Prefiero ver menos imágenes, pero dedicar tiempo a cada una de ellas.

• En realidad, sospecho que reducir el ritmo de vida no es una respuesta muy satisfactoria. Lo que necesito tiene menos que ver con mi ritmo de vida que con mi paz vital. A cualquier velocidad, ansío una paz interior profunda y duradera. Y si lo que busco es solaz, no necesito marcarme un ritmo de vida como una tortuga, cambiar de trabajo o instalarme en una isla tranquila. Suele ser la vida frenética, no la alta energía, lo que me roba la paz interior.

• Man's quest for knowledge is an expanding series whose limit is infinity, but philosophy seeks to attain that limit at one blow, by a short circuit providing the certainty of complete and inalterable truth. Science meanwhile advances at its gradual pace, often slowing to a crawl, and for periods it even walks in place, but eventually it reaches the various ultimate trenches dug by philosophical thought, and, quite heedless of the fact that it is not supposed to be able to cross those final barriers to the intellect, goes right on.

• As I get older, I'm slowing down and, yes, calming down in my desire to be taken seriously. That I can be entertaining and funny and high nervous energy can work against me as a serious composer, slowly but surely you'll see me be quieter just so that people will listen.

• Hemos creado una forma antinatural de correr. No se trata sólo de las zapatillas, sino de que corremos sobre superficies artificiales -en línea recta, duros y firmes- en lugar de acelerar y frenar, reaccionando al terreno con cambios de paso y ritmo.

• No creo que ninguno de nosotros pueda hacer mucho ante el rápido crecimiento de las nuevas tecnologías. Una nueva tecnología ayuda a alimentar la economía, y cualquier debate sobre la ralentización de su crecimiento tiene que tener en cuenta las consecuencias económicas. Sin embargo, sí podemos aprender a controlar el uso que hacemos de la tecnología.

• The mistake I really learned from was in 2005, leading the Indianapolis 500. I had a decision whether or not to save enough fuel to finish the race - which meant slowing down - or going all-out for the win. I went conservative and saved enough fuel to go to the end but finished fourth.
