A lot of people don't get it, but I design from the inside out so that the finished product looks inevitable somehow. I think it's important to create spaces that people like to be in, that are humanistic.

Beautiful spaces create beautiful minds(C). The Wren's Nest's backyard of rolling land lovingly renovated into a cross-generational reading garden invites reading, storytelling and reflection with flowers, plants, trees, bushes, benches, paths and other touches.

'Close Encounters of the Third Kind' ends with the spaceship lands and Richard Dreyfuss' character best on, but a bunch of pilots and sailors from the 1940s get off. You kind of wanted to know what happened next.

I wouldn't say that Mac OS X is a make or break product for Apple, but it's close. But it can move Apple into spaces where it's not been, or been strong, before. At MYOB, we look at our job as being translators: translating the language of business into the language of accounting. We need to use tools given to us by the authors of operating systems. The Mac side and OS X gives us a tool set that lets us do our jobs as translators better than any other tool set on the planet. It's up to us to use those tools to move up to the next level.

I find that 'Ghostbusters' and 'Alien' actually have a lot in common in that they're both so naturalistic in the performances. It feels like people you could be hanging out with right now in this room, yet they're on a spaceship or killing ghosts. But the way they talk is never heightened or otherwordly.

The Comedy Bar is an intimate club, which I prefer. I refuse to play theatres, because large empty spaces make me nervous, and I don't enjoy the echo. I'm no sell out. Literally.

They were the aggressive team. They have some guys that like to bang in there and we have guys that like wide open spaces - the prairie guys.

They'll try to keep us in our area and will leave a lot of spaces at the back which is what we have to make the most of.

They'll nest in barns, in bushes, in the spaces between buildings. They haven't moved into the city yet, thank God. But that's probably an eventuality if their population continues to expand.

My generation is so used to having our public spaces look like the Starbucks, with the beautiful lighting and the little bit of Nina Simone and my coffee that's blended a certain way from Costa Rica.
