I think it’s touching that the fans feel so close to the characters that they feel personally hurt. I’ve felt that way in plenty of TV shows – ‘Game of Thrones,’ ‘Mad Men.’ How could they do that to that character? That’s drama.
I never close a door on any other religion. Most of the time, some part of it makes sense to me. I don’t believe everyone has to chant just because I chant. I believe all religion is about touching something inside of yourself.

I’m a Southerner – I never take satisfaction in touching a nerve.

When you’ve got guys touching the ball on the offensive end, they’re really into the defensive end.

I became a very simple person. The simple things are the most precious to me. I don’t ascribe much significance to the things I have now. That feeling of touching death has never left me.
When I heard about the Microsoft Kinect, though, I felt an urgency rising in me. A game you played without touching any machinery?

Too often, people think that solving the world’s problems is based on conquering the earth, rather than touching the earth, touching ground.
