ABC interview

Interview0 Comments

Rice discusses Iraq War, Donald Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney, and her new memoir.

The Middle East is the most volatile area in the world. We now know that it is also the cradle of Al Qaeda and extremism…We didn’t go to Iraq to bring democracy to the Iraqis…We were very clear about this. This was a security threat. And I, as much as anybody, understand and really regret the cost, particularly in lives. But I also know that nothing of value is ever won without sacrifice.

Williams interviews Basketball Wives star Draya and questions how she came to fame and the difference between Draya and Kim Kardassian. 

Both of you have had your come-up on your backs. Here’s the difference, Draya, Draya’s people and Draya’s fans: Kim owns how she came up. Kim then got a machine behind her, led by her mother and the rest of her family, and has swapped America with some Jedi mind trick where we now love the Kardashians for good, for bad or indifferent.

Helped sharpen Dropbox pitch

Interview0 Comments

Houston talks about how Graham gave the founders advice to distil their initial idea. That eventually led to a live demonstration where they deleted a Power Point in front of a live audience, and then restored it from the website.

One of the things we really struggled with early on….we made a list of dozens of things it was good for, our first marketing attempt was sort of throwing spaghetti at the wall. We struggled on how to articulate [the uses] to investor.

Graham sits down with aspiring founders at the Y Combinator event, and talks them through their business ideas. He talks about how Wozniak and Gates both got their ideas from solving problems that they faced:

A lot of people decide, I want to start a startup, I need to think of an idea for a startup…The best startup ideas don’t come from people trying to think of startup ideas, they come from people trying to solve problems…All the biggest startups, they tend to come from problems that the founders themselves have.

WWE Magazine interview

Interview0 Comments

Johnson talks to WWE Magazine about stunt work in film and how it compares to in-ring action in the WWE.

 Both are grueling and very physical. There are many comparisons that I can draw between the two, but what hits home is this: toughness and passion. Both my fellow Superstars and fellow Hollywood stuntmen are incredibly tough mothers who are driven by an amazing passion to perform

jobsJobs appears on the cover of People after passing away.

In a world littered with dull objects, he brought the beauty of clean lines and clear thought. He changed music. He changed film. He changed the personal computer and turned telephony on its head while he was at it. He was tenacious in the extreme, his toughness never more evident than these past few years in his fight for his life.

Maxim Interview

Riesgraf talks about doing stunts and her character Parker’s personality on the TNT show Leverage:

Probably running on top of a moving train. Thank God I didn’t trip. I was wearing Dr. Martens! I know a lot of crazy girls, and I know a lot of great guys who love crazy girls. A little bit of crazy is exciting, but too much becomes a pain in the ass.

Waits speaks about his life and his music from near his hometown of Santa Rosa, California.tomwaits-007

I used to think that all great recordings happened at about 3am. So my first studio experiences, I wanted to be recording after the bars closed. I just thought that’s when it all happened. And it worked for me for a while, I guess. But I don’t believe that so much any more. I realise now there’s more than one way to sneak up on a herd of cattle.
