Ever occur to you why some of us can be this much concerned with animals suffering? Because government is not. Why not? Animals don't vote.
One thing we are concerned about is what the audience of the future is going to look like. We've got to capture a new generation to support the S.C. Philharmonic.
I'm kind of concerned about 'Ego & Hubris' because I'm thinking that people will read it and maybe even be entertained by it, but at the end of it, you know, they'll wonder, 'Why did this guy write this? What was the point of it?'
I'm not a writer where I feel particularly blessed by great inspiration every day. I don't. I have to work really hard at it to try and say the things I'm concerned with.
I've never seen a monument erected to a pessimist.
In times like these, it is helpful to remember that there have always been times like these.
What is research but a blind date with knowledge?
Every pessimist who ever lived has been buried in an unmarked grave. Tomorrow has always been better than today, and it always will be.
Retiring is just practicing up to be dead. That doesn't take any practice.
I think we often live at a surface level, and that ends up with us in a lot of difficulty because we just function on assumptions and secondhand knowledge.
I think that being able to pay to get medically necessary services quicker violates the Canada Health Act. It's legalizing queue-jumping.
I think by any measure we are at a major bottom, but bottoms don't happen overnight. Stocks can hit a bottom and then trade sideways, go up and down as they adjust. But I'd be stunned if we traded more than 10 percent lower.
I think both sides were very careful not to get into any particulars. The good news is we are having a dialogue. We don't appear to be at an impasse.
I think the results are on point. If we're going to move new products and innovation into practice, we need to understand better the characteristics and incentives that are important to the consumers -- what makes them receptive to new products? And from there, how do they get information? If we can make consumers aware of options and get them to demand innovation, we can transform our industry.
