Darwin and his successors taught us how our biosphere evolved, and thereby transformed our conception of humanity’s place in nature. In the twenty-first century, space scientists are setting Darwin in a grander cosmic context – probing the origins of Earth, stars, atoms and the universe itself.
You could be an 18-year-old girl in Tokyo wondering how you could ever break into fashion or beauty, so you follow your favourite designer or editor, see what their day comprises, where they go, who they meet, how they do it… If I were setting up my own label today, I would definitely do it through Instagram.
Nobility, without virtue, is a fine setting without a gem.

To tell you the truth, I hadn’t seen any Pixar until I went to see ‘Wall-E,’ and I watched it and I was shocked to see how adult it was, with the setting in our lives, both present and future, and how they dealt with it… And then quite relieved to find that the one I was working on, ‘Up,’ how adult it was.
Let’s start with the church. As you know, it’s my background, it’s a natural setting for me and it’s definitely my roots.

I think ‘SNL’ was such a unique thing because it was material you created and you’re very comfortable with it, even though the setting was pressure-packed.
Disasters happen. We still have no way to eliminate earthquakes, wildfires, hurricanes, floods or droughts. We cope as best we can by fortifying ourselves against danger with building codes and levees, and by setting aside money to clean up afterwards.
The very phrase ‘Make America great again’ implies some kind of reset to a time long since passed. A mission to restore America to a previous default setting where American economic superiority was without peer, factories and manufacturing plants were humming, and jobs were plentiful for anyone who wanted one.
If you’re setting up lights and tripods, and you’ve got three assistants running around, people will want to get you out as fast as they can. But if you go the opposite way, if you make the camera the least important thing in the room, then it’s different.
We learned that, when people are looking around, waiting for you to decide on what to do next, it’s often best to just say, ‘hey, let’s go again’ – people start setting up, then you have enough time to discuss, if it doesn’t go well on take 2, what the strategy is for take 3.
I have been overcome by the beauty and richness of our life together, those early mornings setting out, those evenings gleaming with rivers and lakes below us, still holding the last light.
I love travelling, but I have to admit I didn’t initially take to Agra in India. As soon as you arrive, someone wants to show you around, take your bags or sell you something – and it’s just a bit of a culture shock. You just have to make the necessary mental adjustment to the setting.
We’ll always need energy. We need to communicate, too, but we’re not stuck with hand gestures and smoke signals. There are better ways to power our future than by digging fossil fuel from the ground and setting it on fire.

We very clearly do not want an authoritarian regime… setting standards in the world marketplace.
Well, you can’t throw heavy, analytical, thought-provoking songs at people 24/7. It’s been my experience over the last 20 years that on a rare occasion, in a live setting, if you can slow people down to listen to two good ballads, then you’re doing pretty good. Then throw a tempo at ’em. Then have fun.
It’s mostly the coaches the refs don’t like. Like Phil Jackson and Gregg Popovich. Jackson is a master at setting up refs, always telling them they’re against his team, playing mind games.
When I was a kid, what captivated me about detective fiction were the puzzles more than the detectives or their enemies. And as I’ve gotten older, I see a lot of merit in setting your investigative sights higher than figuring out how someone stole Encyclopedia Brown’s bicycle.
As a group, we want to follow good and green strategy. Setting targets is one element of that. The second part is to design products which meet environmental goals.

Playing live is everything. Sometimes being on the road is hard, and it’s a lot of work, and tiring. From a musical point of view, you improve all the time. Not only that, but you learn how to deal with people and deal with energy in a live setting.
What I’ve found is if you get the right characters in the right story and put them in the right setting – and let them go – they tend to do all the exploring of the issues for you. Because people are interesting and political and funny and sad.

He was very instrumental in setting up the Pelagos Marine Sanctuary, which is a sanctuary for marine mammals between Italy, France and Monaco.
