Life, Like Poker Has An

A Lot Of People Ask, "what Do You Pull On In Your Own Life From Your Character?" In All Honesty, It's Not Something That Really Works That Way For Me. I Tend To Look At These Things As An Imaginative Process And A Challenge Of Imagination And Empathy, To Some Degree. I Get Much More Out Of Meeting People Who Have Lived These Lives Than I Do Digging Around In My Own Limited Experiences.

Most Of Us Still Believe In The Intrinsic Value Of Nature, But I Think The First Century Of The Environmental/conservation Movement Demonstrated Pretty Clearly That This Value Cannot Compel A Civilization-wide Shift Toward Sustainable Behavior And Enterprise When Stacked Up Against The Urgent Economic And Social Needs Of 7 Billion People, Most Of Whom Are Struggling To Get Out Of Poverty.

When People Come Together Too Young, They Try To Become One Person. As You Get Older, You Realize That You Don't Want To Become One Person Because Then You Lose The Person You Are.

With Edward Norton You'd Never Say, "this Is The One We're Going With Whether You Like It Or Not." It Has To Be Agreed Upon.
