What does God need with a starship?
tombstone air religion
I'm not going to have a tombstone. I'm going to be tossed in the air. Ashes, tossed like a salad.
death suicide might
I'm so not ready to die. It petrifies me. I go alone. I go to a place I don't know. It might be painful. It might be the end. My thought is that it is the end. I become nameless, and I spent a lifetime being known.

ideas done pieces
Every piece of entertainment is made with the idea that 'This is going to be terrific' and 'This is the best thing I've ever done' and then it hits the public and then the public tells you whether it's good or bad.
dream pain responsibility
There's a joy and a pain about directing where the dreams you have are becoming concrete but the attention to detail, the need for time is such that it's overwhelming at times, and the stream of responsibility.
air dots company
So many dot-com companies were formulated on air.
