Organized religion is a sham and a crutch for weak-minded people who need strength in numbers. It tells people to go out and stick their noses in other people's business.

As a speaker business leader or marketer of any type the onus is now on each of us to become equally capable of communicating very personally with a seemingly endless number of people connected by social technologies.

One irreducible residual of 38 years in the business is the number of lasting loving friendships I have made.

I don't think there's anybody in America who thinks my personality is best suited to being Number Two.

Some of my best friends are Venture Capitalists but let's face it a hamster with Alzheimer's could make those kind of numbers. It's great work if you can get it.

It has always been my belief that a man should do his best regardless of how much he receives for his services or the number of people he may be serving or the class of people served.

Beauty and fullness of tone can be achieved by having the whole orchestra play with high clarinets and a carefully selected number of piccolos.

What matters to me is that I do what I think is right and I see I'm a numbers guy that's my attitude. I know we have a debt tsunami coming we are bankrupting this country and I'm in a position where I can actually advance ideas to prevent that from happening. That's exactly what I should be doing.

You can calculate the worth of a man by the number of his enemies and the importance of a work of art by the harm that is spoken of it.

And then we watched an amazing number of movies from the late '60s and '70s which is my favorite time and we studied their camera movements their stocks the way they lit stuff the colors they used.

The opportunity number one to work with Ang Lee is an amazing thing for me.

After all these years it's still amazing what Obama is allowed to get away with. He says low gas prices in 2009 were caused by a terrible economy but then claims that the lower number of illegal aliens crossing the border is because of his border policies not the same lousy economy.

Strangely enough when the Sugababes' 'Freak Like Me' went to number 1 which was built around my 'Are 'Friends' Electric' song I had another song called 'Rip' go to number 1 in the Kerrang TV chart so I was pulling new people in from very different areas of musical interest. That was quite an amazing week.
