An unlimited-length file name is a file. the content of a file is its own best name.

The time i like listening to music most on headphones is, i have a game i play with my brother, he's a musician as well.and he sends me midi files of keyboard pieces. so, these are pieces where i just get a midi file; i don't know what instrument he was playing them on; i know nothing about his section of the sound of the piece, and then when i'm sitting on trains i do a lot of train travel i turn them into pieces of music. and i love to do that; it's my favorite hobby.

Labels don't mean much to me one way or another -- except when they close the minds of potential readers. i'd much rather we do away with genres and simply file everything under fiction. i know it can work -- one of my favourite record stores (waterloo music in austin) simply files everything alphabetically and no one seems to have much problem finding what they're looking for.

We don't believe it's possible to protect digital content. what's new is this amazingly efficient distribution system for stolen property called the internet-- and no one's gonna shut down the internet. and it only takes one stolen copy to be on the internet. and the way we expressed it to them is: pick one lock--open every door. it only takes one person to pick a lock. worst case: somebody just takes the analog outputs of their cd player and rerecords it-- puts it on the internet. you'll never stop that. so what you have to do is compete with it.

I also administer the internet assigned names authority, which is the central coordinator for the internet address space, domain names and internet protocol conventions essential to the use and operation of the internet.

So why do i write, torturing myself to put it down? because in spite of myself i've learned some things. without the possibility of action, all knowledge comes to one labeled "file and forget," and i can neither file nor forget. nor will certain ideas forget me; they keep filing away at my lethargy, my complacency. why should i be the one to dream this nightmare?

Similar Quotes

There are always going to be people that are judgmental that are going to say, 'well, he was an actor first, so he doesn't have the right to be a musician,' or, 'i know him as this, so therefore i will never accept him as that.' i can't change those people. i can only be myself. and i can only keep making art. i can only do the best that i can. i am not going to spend my life trying to silence the critics. i'm going to do what i'm passionate about and follow my dreams.

Sometimes it's nice to be able to reflect on the music itself and then write lyrics that i feel anyone can relate to. it's not my dreaming tree that is dead. the feeling of a loss of hope is universal. there are moments that we've all felt a little bit of it, so i don't think it is something that is too hard to identify with.

I was really lucky to work at cbs news. i was blessed to be able to live my dream in many ways at cbs news.

Live in contact with dreams and you will get something of their charm: live in contact with facts and you will get something of their brutality. i wish i could find a country to live in where the facts were not brutal and the dreams not real.
