It's a little like packing for a trip. first you lay out everything that might possibly be useful, with no thought about the size of your suitcase. then, look at your suitcase. in the case of narrative, there's a certain obligation to keep the pace up and have each section or subsection be doing something.

If i'm going away for longer than a week i take a suitcase and check it in but i'm good at packing light and quick - years of modelling, travelling and living out of a suitcase has trained me well.

I just wanted to speak to you about something from the internal revenue code. it is the last sentence of section 509a of the code and it reads: 'for purposes of paragraph 3, an organization described in paragraph 2 shall be deemed to include an organization described in section 501c-4, 5, or 6, which would be described in paragraph 2 if it were an organization described in section 501c-3.' and that's just one sentence out of those fifty-seven feet of books.

I tried not to write about the o.j. simpson case too much because so much has already been said about it, but there are a lot of questions left worth asking. however, the case is very useful to illustrate other points. the case is a common reference point because everybody knows the ins and outs of it, more than any other case in this generation, so it becomes useful to reference other points. in itself, there aren't that many questions about it that remain unanswered.

Speed is what makes the premiership exciting. the millions who would have watched manchester united and chelsea would have seen a non-stop game in which the pace was electric even though the first half was a non-event. you could see a better technical game in spain but for sheer frenetic movement there is nothing that comes close... pace is more critical in the premiership than in any other major league and if you don't have pace, you have to compensate with power or ability in the air and since shevchenko has no power and is not particularly good in the air, he is in trouble.

All you do as a performer is keep doing it. if you keep doing it, then it depends on why you're doing it. if you're doing something for superficial, monumental reasons and if you're doing it for female attention, or if you're doing it for money, it's like being upset. only way you can get upset is when you expecting something. if you don't get this award or don't get that award, that because you expect something.

For me, while writing i am an engineer, so if i decide to change the format, i want to add a section, to move a section, reorganize the section, anything i want to do, i just boot words, and i do what i want to do. so, i feel completely empowered when i'm a writer.

Humanity is moving in a circle. the progress in mechanical things of the past hundred years has proceeded at the cost of losing many other things which perhaps were much more important for it.

Because immigrants have always been particularly prone to repetition - it's something to do with that experience of moving from west to east or east to west or from island to island. even when you arrive, you're still going back and forth; your children are going round and round. there's no proper term for it - original sin seems too harsh; maybe original trauma would be better.
