Creativity is a great motivator because it makes people interested in what they are doing. Creativity gives hope that there can be a worthwhile idea. Creativity gives the possibility of some sort of achievement to everyone. Creativity makes life more fun and more interesting.

Little minds are interested in the extraordinary great minds in the commonplace.

In the summer we graduated we flipped out completely drinking beer cruising in our cars and beating up each other. It was a crazy summer. That's when I started to be interested in girls.

When I was a graduate student the leading spirits at Harvard were interested in the history of ideas.

Some go on to trade schools or get further training for jobs they are interested in. Some go into the arts some are craftsmen some take a little time out to travel and some start their own businesses. But our graduates find and work at what they want to do.

I first became interested in women and religion when I was one of the few women doing graduate work in Religious Studies at Yale University in the late 1960's.

I am not interested in power for power's sake but I'm interested in power that is moral that is right and that is good.

I don't believe in God but I'm very interested in her.

You know it's ironic to me that Christians want to keep the Ten Commandments in our schools because Christianity has abrogated four of the Ten Commandments. For example the Sabbath day according to the Ten Commandments is Saturday not Sunday. And the reason is because God rested not because Jesus was resurrected.

Sabbath - a weekly festival having its origin in the fact that God made the world in six days and was arrested on the seventh.

I am not interested in the past except as the road to the future.

I like today and perhaps a little future still but the past is really something I'm not interested in. So as far as I'm concerned I like only the past of things and people I don't know. When I know I don't care because I knew how it was.

God is more interested in your future and your relationships than you are.

It's funny but when I arrived in California to start college I was much more interested in becoming a surfer and cruise along in life from one beach to the next. I didn't plan out any huge career for myself.

Something about New York man: You can do more comedy there probably than you can anywhere in the world. If you're interested in being funny New York is the place to go.

As a writer or as a filmmaker you have to present yourself and part of what yourself is is what you're interested in or what you think is funny or what you think is sad or what you think is horrible.

I don't hate humanity and I'm not interested in people who do. Although it's funny actually some of my favorite writers really do. Like Martin Amis. My dirty secret. 'London Fields' is one of my favorite books ever. And it's indefensible! But he's so funny... I forgive him everything.

Friendship is a disinterested commerce between equals love an abject intercourse between tyrants and slaves.

I was interested by the idea that artists working in a totalitarian dictatorship or tsarist autocracy are secretly and slightly shamefully envied by artists who work in freedom. They have the gratification of intense interest: the authorities want to put them in jail while there are younger readers for whom what they write is pure oxygen.

One important theme is the extent to which one can ever correct an error especially outside any frame of religious forgiveness. All of us have done something we regret - how we manage to remove that from our conscience or whether that's even possible interested me.

Before Nelson Mandela was arrested in 1962 he was an angry relatively young man. He founded the ANC's military wing. When he was released he surprised everyone because he was talking about reconciliation and forgiveness and not about revenge.

I did skit comedy online for many years beginning around 2001. Around 2006 I started watching a lot of food television and got re-interested in food. I come from a very food-obsessed family. But I also wanted to do my own thing which was the comedy.

It's fun to have money but the more money I get the less interesting it becomes. If you don't have very much you have to think about it. If you are starving you become interested in food. If you are struggling to pay the bills money becomes tragically important.

I wait for the next opportunity to have something to do with food. If I get rested my mind just starts creating new dishes - click click click.
