I mean i think people prepared me for like a lot of green screen [in oz the great]. i didn't have a lot of green screen. they build most sets. when this castle was tangible, emerald city was tangible, the forest, the woods was tangible, the cemetery, everything was there.

I like the stars. it's the illusion of permanence, i think. i mean, they're always flaring up and caving in and going out. but from here, i can pretend...i can pretend that things last. i can pretend that lives last longer than moments. gods come, and gods go. mortals flicker and flash and fade. worlds don't last; and stars and galaxies are transient, fleeting things that twinkle like fireflies and vanish into cold and dust. but i can pretend.

Writing isn't about making money, getting famous, getting dates, getting laid, or making friends. in the end, it's about enriching the lives of those who will read your work, and enriching your own life, as well. it's about getting up, getting well, and getting over. getting happy, okay? getting happy.

Jimmy carter, of course, was beloved. peanut farmer. came out of nowhere, governor of georgia. normally democrats hate southern accents, 'cause southern accents equals deliverance, equals hayseed, equals idiot. but if it's one of them... but you had to look the other way with jimmy carter and then here came bill clinton later. so depending on where the southern accent's from, they'll make an exception and not be prejudicial about it. but for the most part, a southern accent may as well be a slave owner as far as democrats are concerned; they want no part of it.

You have a certain objectivity, as a member of the audience, and you can come away maybe being provoked into a certain discourse or a certain arena of questioning, regarding how you would deal with things that your character has to deal with. whereas when you're doing a film, once you start asking, "what would i do?," you're getting the distance greater between yourself and the character, or you're bringing the character to you, which i think is self-serving, in the wrong way. the idea is to bring yourself to the character.

In 2003, at the time i made my "old europe" comment, the center of gravity in nato and europe had long since shifted to the east. with the former warsaw pact countries joining nato, the alliance has a different mix today. some people were sensitive about my comment because they thought it was a pejorative way of highlighting demographic realities. apparently they felt it pointed a white light at a weakness in europe - an aging population. europe has come some distance since world war ii in becoming europe.

Nearly all runners do their slow runs too fast, and their fast runs too slow." ken mierke says. "so they're just training their bodies to burn sugar, which is the last thing a distance runner wants. you've got enough fat stored to run to california, so the more you train your body to burn fat instead of sugar, the longer your limited sugar tank is going to last." -the way to activate your fat-burning furnace is by staying below your aerobic threshold--your hard-breathing point--during your endurance runs.
Running Distance California
It was a quiet way - he asked if i was his - i made no answer of the tongue but answer of the eyes - and then he bore me on before this mortal noise with swiftness, as of chariots and distance, as of wheels. this world did drop away as acres from the feet of one that leaneth from balloon upon an ether street. the gulf behind was not, the continents were new - eternity was due. no seasons were to us - it was not night nor morn - but sunrise stopped upon the place and fastened in dawn.
