geek guy hardware life maybe national nerd nerds picked school
A nerd will be a nerd all his life. When we did The Nerd Book at National Lampoon, the nerds got picked up as if there were a lot of them at every school - and there aren't. Maybe two. There are many more geeks. A geek is a guy who has everything going for him, but he's just too young. He's got the software, but he doesn't have the hardware yet.

My generation had to be taken seriously because we were stopping things and burning things. We were able to initiate change, because we had such vast numbers. We were part of the baby boom, and when we moved, everything moved with us.
approach gonna guys music respect respectful stick stores
When I approach a band, I want to respect them and be respectful of their music. I'm not gonna say, 'Look, you guys are real hot, so we'll stick you in the movie, and we'll get it in all these stores and all these stations.' That isn't right.

I usually listen to surf music, not much instrumental music, and when I was younger I listened to jazz.

I don't consider myself qualified to do a movie about international intrigue - I seldom leave the country.
employment few impact intel missing numbers piece positive raised reaction stock weeks
Intel already raised their numbers a few weeks ago, so that won't have a big impact on trade, but the employment number could. It's the missing piece in the recovery, ... If you could get something positive from that number, you could see a stock reaction to the upside, or at least a continuation of what you've been seeing. If it's disappointing, you could see some selling.
