"We live fragmented, compartmentalized lives in which contradictions are carefully sealed off from each other. We have been taught to think linearly rather than comprehensively, and we do this not through conscious design or because we are not intelligent or capable, but because of the way in which deep cultural undercurrents structure life in subtle but highly consistent ways that are not consciously formulated."

-- Edward T. Hall

It's time for Senator Clinton to act like a leader that I know she can be. Hillary Clinton not only needs to defend Barack Obama, she needs to apologize to him.”

“I don't know if a song is going to be a hit or it's going to flop. I never know. I just do the music and if people like it, they like it.”

“The magic that works, to me, is the magic that feels completely grounded and real and tangible.”
