In the late ’70s, the conditions that bands had to endure were, shall we say, not as civilized as they are today. People were a lot more aggressive back then.

The good thing about having a Republican primary is that the voters will decide our nominee – unlike the Democrats.

It’s a weird thing when you make records. You try to hear it before you make it, so you walk into the studio with this idea of what you expect to happen, and that usually changes. That usually turns into something else, and that’s a good thing.
Obama just came swiftly out of nowhere, which was a relief to those of us who care about the Republic, and at first he seemed a very good thing.

The very good thing about MFA programs is their democratizing. They bring a lot of different people to the table.

Sometimes innocence is a good thing but I think life, experiencing different situations, different clubs, gives you a lot of knowledge.

We have co-opted seed funds. You know, Y Combinator, that was completely our money. We have secret handshakes with a whole bunch of people. Very dangerous, because word gets out that so-and-so’s money is Sequoia’s money, that would not be a good thing.
It seems to me in the past it’s been a good thing, as a writer, to have experiences I hadn’t expected.
I am not opposed to e-readers. Any technology that encourages the reading of literature is a good thing.
I think the whole thing, boy band, it’s a little bit of a dirty word. They say it’s not a good thing to be in a boy band. We want to change that. We want to make the boy band cool. It’s not just about dancing and dressing the same.
Changing what you don’t like about yourself can be empowering, and that’s not a bad thing. Feeling secure enough to own what is weak and missing from either your body, mind or spirit and to commit to action to change it is a good thing.

When the big clubs, and Manchester United is one of the biggest clubs in the world, is interested in you, it’s an honour and it’s a kind of an acceptance of what you play – so it’s a good thing.

People share everything on Facebook. That can be a very good thing or a very noisy thing. With Foursquare, people know that they’re getting information specifically about a place, advice about where they are and what they could be doing. It’s a very filtered view of the world.
I share every aspect of my life with the Internet. Whether or not that’s a good thing, I don’t know.
I bridled strongly when Labour introduced their Right to Roam, fearing that it would be misused by the hard Left to stir up unnecessary trouble in the countryside. In fact, greater access to the uplands has been a very good thing.
