To be given the opportunity to help shape new artists' careers and mentor them to see their dreams come to fruition is a task I welcome with open arms.

I did commit to myself that I would not jump back into being the workaholic that I can be before I gave myself an honest opportunity to create the marriage of my dreams and to create the beginning of the family of my dreams and that took a hot second.

We have the opportunity to provide the first FDA reviewed and approved over-the-counter option that can help people lose weight and make changes to their lifestyle and diet.

Different people have different styles but there is an opportunity as a director to be a writer in every moment with every visual cue and every piece of production design. Everything is a decision and everything can be obsessed over.

My training as an engineer has enabled me to design the stuff but the reason I do it is not to make music but for the opportunity to work with musicians.

For me I am still very happy to be able to do stage design as it's an opportunity to express the extreme.

When I announced the development of Perl 6 I said it was going to be a community design. I designed Perl myself. It's limited by my own brain power. So I wanted Perl 6 to be a community design.

I thank Marc Jacobs so much for giving me the opportunity to design a shoe for Louis Vuitton but the thing that broke my heart most was when they said 'You're finished. The shoe's finished.'

In these dangerous times where it seems the world is ripping apart at the seams we can all learn how to survive from those who stare death squarely in the face every day and we should reach out to each other and bond as a community rather than hide from the terrors of life at the end of the millennium.

A text of Tibetan Buddhism describes the time of death as a unique opportunity for spiritual liberation from the cycles of death and rebirth and a period that determines our next incarnation.

I mean in the South African case many of those who were part of death squads would have been respectable members of their white community people who went to church on Sunday every Sunday.

I thank my God for graciously granting me the opportunity of learning that death is the key which unlocks the door to our true happiness.

We must remind Americans that the promise of opportunity remains unbroken - that every person in this great nation can succeed through hard work courage and personal responsibility.

Keep courage. Whatever you do do not feel sorry for yourself. You will win in a great age of opportunity.

Life is the most exciting opportunity we have. But we have one shot. You graduate from college once and that's it. You're going out of that nest. And you have to find that courage that's deep deep deep in there. Every step of the way.

Courage is the greatest of all virtues because if you haven't courage you may not have an opportunity to use any of the others.

In the old days a TV sync was perceived as not so cool or whittling away at your indie cred. Now it's seen as much more of an opportunity than a sellout as a way to find fans who wouldn't have ordinarily come across their genre of music.

In an online community there's this kind of social economy between the community members. Some people have status because they make cool skins or that's a good website that's visited a lot but there's no real gameplay there.

I was asked to do a test commercial shoot for an Apple product which didn't mean much to me at the time. Some music player that holds all your songs. Sounded cool to me and I never gave up an opportunity to work especially with the possibility of it turning into a national commercial. Coolest job I did in that time.

I want kids of this generation to see that everything is cool that there's some kind of unity in hip-hop. We all found something that's really important to us and music is all we've really got.

It's cool to meet your idols. It's a good opportunity to travel. Those kinds of things are good.

Do you want to be an actor or do you want to be a celebrity? I made that decision when I went to Juilliard. I wanted to be an actor. So if I get the opportunity to be an actor and do some cool fun and interesting projects I'm going to do that.

For electronica music David Linton has been doing this series called Unity Gain which is pretty cool.

The cool part of being an entertainer is getting the opportunity to get your feet wet in all areas.
