The hardest thing is to go to sleep at night, when there are so many urgent things needing to be done. A huge gap exists between what we know is possible with today's machines and what we have so far been able to finish.
Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it.
The most important thing in the programming language is the name. A language will not succeed without a good name. I have recently invented a very good name and now I am looking for a suitable language.
Winning the Revolutionary War, or the Civil War, or World War II were the turning points in our history, the sine qua non of our forward progress.
World War II, the atomic bomb, the Cold War, made it hard for Americans to continue their optimism.
Writing is not the easiest way to make a living. Your work long hours, usually all by yourself. It is not a way to make money.
In fact what I would like to see is thousands of computer scientists let loose to do whatever they want. That's what really advances the field.
Science is what we understand well enough to explain to a computer. Art is everything else we do.
You don't hate history, you hate the way it was taught to you in high school.
A hero is someone right who doesn't change.
That's my gift. I let that negativity roll off me like water off a duck's back. If it's not positive, I didn't hear it. If you can overcome that, fights are easy.
I want to keep fighting because it is the only thing that keeps me out of the hamburger joints. If I don't fight, I'll eat this planet.
My mother was watching on television and she doesn't want me to hurt anyone.
I don't know how good mountain lions do in captivity. I'm curious.
I don't even think about a retirement program because I'm working for the Lord, for the Almighty. And even thought the Lord's pay isn't very high, his retirement program is, you might say, out of this world.
You get these Satanists types that don't believe in God. OK, so you realize you don't get Satan if you don't get God, right? Or atheists that want to believe in ghosts. Wait, wait, wait. You can't have a two-way go on that. You want to be agnostic, be an atheist, fine. But you don't bring ghosts along with you.
It's indisputable that you'll make way more money with a larger playoff.
I listen a lot to Howard Stern. Not the show, the interviews. He has a separate podcast of just interviews. They're fantastic.
Tracked a raccoon one time in the snow. I was in the neighborhood and I was just curious where this raccoon lived. There's some fresh raccoon tracks. He'd been digging at somebody's garbage.
Stamina is the force that drives the drumming; it's not really a sprint.
I don't like lyrics that are just thrown together, that were obviously written as you went along, or the song was already written and the guy made up the lyrics in five minutes.
If you've got a problem, take it out on a drum.
Anytime I have an idea, I'll make sure that I put it down so that when we do sit down to write an album, I don't have to dream it all out of thin air. I don't have to be creative on the spur of the moment, or spontaneously artistic. I just take advantage of whenever creativity strikes.
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.
People evolve and it's important to not stop evolving just because you've reached 'adulthood.'
I actually have a degree in music and was aware that music was a tool used in therapy. I didn't realize how far it had come since I was in college in the mid-seventies.
I'm not a fan of any genre but am a fan of movies that are intelligent and/or funny. That goes across all genres: a horror movie, a zombie movie, alien invaders, chick flick, or raunchy comedy. If it's well done, I'm a fan.
I never listened to the Grateful Dead as a teen; the only exposure I got was what came through the walls when my sister was listening to them.
I like to act. Every other aspect of show business I find uninteresting.
Almost the moment he died, they put him in Playboy as one of the greatest drummers, which he was - there's no doubt about it. There's never been anybody since. He's one of the greatest drummers that ever lived.
But to put out a greatest hits on one CD was totally impossible, I just couldn't do it. The best compromise was to put out two CDs - Early Days - which is what it is - and Latter Days.
I don't think the critics could understand what we were doing.
I always believed in the music we did and that's why it was uncompromising.
I think it was that we were really seasoned musicians. We had serious roots that spanned different cultures, obviously the blues.
Is hacking ever acceptable? It depends on the motive.
I've never lost that freelance mentality. You can't take a holiday because you're worried the work will dry up.
If you're living in a dystopia, you don't necessarily want to look at another one.
If someone doesn't respond to a phone call, I think they've died.
Brexit is a harbinger for Trump, really.
My trust in a higher power that wants me to survive and have love in my life, is what keeps me moving forward.
Courage is always rewarded.
You can't make your choices based on what critics think. You have to make your choices based on what's honest for you.
I always say to myself that if I can make a movie that makes a kid smile or gives them some hope or something to get excited about, then I'm applying myself in the best way that I can. I don't think that just goes for kids. I think that it goes for adults, as well, and for families.
There is trust in there being a Spirit who loves me and wants me to have love in my life. I trust in this higher power, it is what keeps me moving forward no matter what happens.
My rite of passage into my brave new world, life on the road.
My quest these days is to find my long lost inner child, but I'm afraid if I do, I'll end up with food in my hair and way too in love with the cats.
One of the things that's interesting to me is I find things like caffeine and stunts actually relax me. When they're putting a bit of gel on my arm and lighting me on fire, or when I'm about to go into a high-speed car chase or rev a motorcycle up pretty fast, I find everything else around me slows down.
I bought a Yamaha-1 and I was doing 180 miles per hour home on the 405 and that's really, really crazy but I did it.
Every great story seems to begin with a snake.
