Rocks Quotes
I'm mostly a jazz fan and I've never really been into rock 'n' roll music — although I guess Coldplay isn't really rock 'n' roll — but he's made me a convert. I do go to their concerts whenever we're in the same town and I don't even have to wear earplugs any more, which I did in the beginning.
-
Squares Quotes
We had the same kind of unemployment here as they had in the worst hit places in the North and you're meant to be on a cushy wicket in the South. If you go up to Newcastle, you can tell that the town's really had money, or Liverpool, you know, the northern towns have got grandeur, whereas Medway, being just a sort of garrison town and dockyard town, you don't have anything like Earl Grey Square or anything like that.
-
Cable Quotes
One factor that commonly comes up in towns that install wireless early is that they didn't have something like DSL available. We have DSL, now we have cable modems, now we have several options. Sometimes the good enough is the enemy of the better. The fact that we've got good enough for most people slows it down.

Businesses Quotes
Montana is transitioning from a natural resource economy to a human-resource-based economy. Economic production is now more decentralized than 30 years ago. This has flattened the economic playing field so that businesses can do things in small towns that used to have to be done in big cities.

Arbitrary Quotes
I believe that what has happened in West Tisbury is going to have echoes for years to come around the ways we raise property taxes in Massachusetts. I think Bill Graham has shown us that there are huge flaws - frightening flaws - in the way towns conduct this type of business. There can be nothing arbitrary - and there should be nothing subjective - about the process of taxation. That's been a cornerstone of our government and our society.

Acting Quotes
I first got into acting when I was 14, coming back from a junior high school basketball game. My mom picked me up and she had been mentioning, prior to that, this community production of 'Godspell', a couple towns over. I was reluctant, at first, and she bribed me with some great dinner that was in that town, neighboring the theater.

Across Quotes
West Virginia has long been a hotbed for NASCAR. It is certainly one of the top states in the country in terms of fan support. The ONMC is all about bringing NASCAR to the cities and towns across America. NASCAR fans all across America are gravitating toward the local chapters and the Charleston chapter has been a leader in this area.

Beyond Quotes
What you're seeing is that American consumers are using rental cars in their home towns and neighborhoods for many needs beyond replacements for automobiles that are in the shop. They're renting for corporate and leisure needs, driving vacations, an extra car, or a different kind of car.

Buildings Quotes
Living in Barcelona, I have my own little ghetto utopia. There are 3,000 ghost towns in Spain, and I've used the images of them a lot in my backdrops for my solo spoken-word stuff. The ghost towns could be from two buildings to 40 - things died out, or there were plagues, the roads don't lead there, whatever.
