It’s like, once you’ve seen Tom Hanks win the Golden Globes, the Oscars, you’ve seen his wife, what kind of car he drives, when you watch his movies, you can’t fully get really lost in them.
There’s a lot of stress… but once you get in the car, all that goes out the window.

Once I found out that people were really making careers for themselves off the Internet, independently, I was really inspired.
Once I tried to make a standardization of staircases. Probably that is one of the oldest of the standardizations. Of course, we design new staircase steps every day in connection with all our houses, but a standardized step depends on the height of the buildings and on all kinds of things.

Once conform, once do what other people do because they do it, and a lethargy steals over all the finer nerves and faculties of the soul. She becomes all outer show and inward emptiness; dull, callous, and indifferent.

God is my witness that up to now, my only aspiration in life is to be a useful element within the army!

Somebody said once ‘Follow the money’ and that is what it is all about.
