Arimaa's a better game than I thought. It follows a fairly sound approach to making the game difficult for computers.
I don't like working in front of a camera.
My profession is about as far away from growing up in southern Illinois as you can get.
I've loved every minute of every hour I've spent doing theatre.
I've been directed by other actors, and being an actor doesn't make you a good director.
I actually like to audition. I prefer to audition for something because I don't want to walk onto a stage or a set and [have someone] say, "You are so far away from what I thought you were going to bring in. " I would feel more comfortable to audition and say, "Here's my take on it - take it or leave it".
I'm happy whenever I'm in a rehearsal room. I've always gotten all my energy and creativity in there.
To learn is to incur surprise-I mean really learning, not just refreshing our memory or adding a new fact. And to invent is to bestow surprise-I mean really inventing, not just innovating what others have done.
I build confidence when I practice a variety of shots - hitting it high or low, working the ball. A lot of golfers go to the range and just hit full shots. That doesn't build on-course confidence, because you won't always hit full shots out there. My confidence is built on knowing I can effectively work the ball in any circumstance.
A good way to have good ideas is by being unoriginal.
A tremendous amount of energy is freed up when you feel that your vision is actually respected and cared for by the people you're working with.
