The first time I had sushi, I hated it. And the second time was no different, and then, I just started loving it. I actually crave for sushi. It's one of the healthiest meals. My experiments with food began when I was working in New York as an architect, be it Korean or Ethiopian food or fusion food.

If you can't change your fate, change your attitude.

If it's not some daring, dangerous affair, it's just not interesting, or so it seems. So, here you have two people - a famous American iconic couple - who actually like each other sexually, in marriage. Imagine.

There was always a feeling for me that it would work. That's what keeps me going. You go in with a positive attitude and stay there, and that's a big part of what does make it work.

Not everyone can be trusted. I think we all have to be very selective about the people we trust.

If you don't quit, and don't cheat, and don't run home when trouble arrives, you can only win.

In terms of work I've always had a Bad Attitude in that I won't work anywhere which requires me to work strict hours or follow a dress code. I don't know if that's an Asperger's thing or not, I think it's just being reasonable.

Art is about building a new foundation, not just laying something on top of what's already there.

Technology is cool, but you've got to use it as opposed to letting it use you.

Music is music, ultimately. If it makes you feel good, cool.

Just sharing music with each other - that's cool. It's the selling that becomes the problem.

Anyway, all these computers and digital gadgets are no good. They just fill your head with numbers and that can't be good for you.

When I first started out in this music industry, I was most concerned with freedom. Freedom to produce, freedom to play all the instruments on my records, freedom to say anything I wanted to.

From its conception and that one and only meeting, 'HITNRUN' took about 90 days to prepare its release. If that's what freedom feels like, 'HITNRUN' is what it sounds like.

It's fun being in Islamic countries, to know there's only one religion. There's order. You wear a burqa. There's no choice. People are happy with that.

Most people don't want to talk about politics and religion. They say, 'Let's talk about something else.'

You don't have to watch 'Gossip Girl' to have an attitude.

Every day I feel is a blessing from God. And I consider it a new beginning. Yeah, everything is beautiful.

I'm thankful enough or blessed enough to be able to say that Miles Davis was a friend when he was alive, and he was a wonderful mentor and really, really funny, you know.

I don't want anyone to fail, so if you can make money off music even though you can't sing or dance, that's genius.

My mother told me one day I walked in to her and said, 'Mom, I'm not going to be sick anymore,' and she said 'Why?' and I said 'Because an angel told me so.' Now, I don't remember saying it; that's just what she told me.

When you sit down to write something, there should be no guidelines. The main idea is not supposed to be, 'How many different ways can we sell it?' That's so far away from the true spirit of what music is.

What's missing from pop music is danger.

Young people have decided they like to listen to music in a certain way, through ear buds, and that's fine with me as long as it doesn't bother them that they're not hearing 90 percent of the music that way.

I always knew I had a relationship with God. But I wasn't sure God had a relationship with me.

Sometimes ideas are coming so fast that I have to stop doing one song to get another. But I don't forget the first one. If it works, it will always be there. It's like the truth: it will find you and lift you up. And if it ain't right, it will dissolve like sand on the beach.

It gets embarrassing to say something untrue because you put it online and everyone knows about it, so it's better to tell the truth.

No one can come and claim ownership of my work. I am the creator of it, and it lives within me.

I was a little biker girl. I thought it was cool; everyone else thought it was really weird. The other little girls were all in these pretty dresses, and my mum bought me this black, studded leather jacket, which I loved.

You can pull off anything if you have the right attitude. Being cool is whatever you think it is. Own your style.

I don't think people are fools, and I think they deserve a good attitude and smart entertainment.

I liked painting and drawing, and I liked humanities mainly - poetry, literature - this speculative attitude toward life.

I've never been in any country for more than four years, and I'm learning different languages all the time. It gives you a different attitude.

I don't really watch what I eat. I love sitting around with friends and eating loads and drinking loads for hours. Maybe when I'm 40 I'll worry about my diet.

The goal of education is not to increase the amount of knowledge but to create the possibilities for a child to invent and discover, to create men who are capable of doing new things.

The principle goal of education in the schools should be creating men and women who are capable of doing new things, not simply repeating what other generations have done.

It is with children that we have the best chance of studying the development of logical knowledge, mathematical knowledge, physical knowledge, and so forth.

During the first few months of an infant's life, its manner of taking the breast, of laying its head on the pillow, etc., becomes crystallized into imperative habits. This is why education must begin in the cradle.

Everyone knows that at the age of 11-12, children have a marked impulse to form themselves into groups and that the respect paid to the rules and regulations of their play constitutes an important feature of this social life.

All morality consists in a system of rules, and the essence of all morality is to be sought for in the respect which the individual acquires for these rules.

I have always detested any departure from reality, an attitude which I relate to my mother's poor mental health.

The current state of knowledge is a moment in history, changing just as rapidly as the state of knowledge in the past has ever changed and, in many instances, more rapidly.

Intelligence is what you use when you don't know what to do: when neither innateness nor learning has prepared you for the particular situation.

Logical activity is not the whole of intelligence. One can be intelligent without being particularly logical.

The main functions of intelligence, that of inventing solutions and that of verifying them, do not necessarily involve one another. The first partakes of imagination; the second alone is properly logical.

Scientific knowledge is in perpetual evolution; it finds itself changed from one day to the next.

Our problem, from the point of view of psychology and from the point of view of genetic epistemology, is to explain how the transition is made from a lower level of knowledge to a level that is judged to be higher.

This means that no single logic is strong enough to support the total construction of human knowledge.

In other words, knowledge of the external world begins with an immediate utilisation of things, whereas knowledge of self is stopped by this purely practical and utilitarian contact.

To express the same idea in still another way, I think that human knowledge is essentially active.
