I envy those WRITERS who outline their novels, who know where they're GOING. But I FIND WRITING is a process of discovery.

Silicon Valley's long-running TRACK RECORD of CREATING globally disruptive startups is the envy of the world.

There are a lot of ways to make PEOPLE not like you, but one of the most powerful - if least fair - is to be really, really successful. Nobody resents the guy who just lost his JOB. But the guy whose INTERNET START-UP made him a BILLIONAIRE at 25? That's a whole different kettle of envy.

I envy CHILDREN who know that they're going to BECOME doctors, know they're going to go into the FORCES or whatever. I think choice is one of the hardest THINGS, but that's what I try to GIVE my children, to say you can do anything.

In my own life, HATE has consumed me at times. Or envy. When my TV show was canceled, I didn't think it deserved to be canceled because people LIKED it. It was canceled for the wrong REASONS, you know? I was consumed with hate for about a year.

Does it feel GOOD to stand on my STAGE with 500-pound TIGERS and everybody ENVY you? Absolutely.

The Rays are kind of the ENVY of the industry BASED on so many good arms with so much good STUFF and they seem to be able to handle high leverage MOMENTS... Nobody develops and executes pitching as well as they do, and that's a big part of their success.

How I ENVY writers who can work on aeroplanes or in HOTEL rooms. On the run I can produce an article or a book review, or even a film SCRIPT, but for fiction I MUST have my own desk, my own wall with my own postcards pinned to it, and my own window not to look out of.

I actually ENVY actors who have a PERSONA: 'This is the way I am. This is the part I play.' And do it over and over and over. To me, that's a LOT easier than trying to reinvent yourself EVERY six MONTHS.

The United STATES has the WORLD's largest and most innovative economy, an unmatched rule of law, and a free market that is the envy of the INTERNATIONAL community. For investors, we are the reserve currency.
