I WANT to serve chess through GAMES, books that are works of ART. I would like to BRING the game closer to many people all over the world.

Being a WORLD CHAMPION again is just a STEP CLOSER toward my goal. I want to be a pay-per-view STAR.

How I STARTED my musical career, officially, was really, like, my family and I deciding to PUT out, you KNOW, the 'Closer' album that started really small, you know, with a VISION that we'd make it pass there.

Of course, if you have D. Wade on your team, he's the best closer in the history of this sport, so the ball needs to go in his hands, but I was always READY. I was always ready. I remember every time he would play pick-and-roll, he SAID, 'G, just be ready. Maybe you're going to be OPEN. I need to HIT you.'

In the past, we showed that we could play FOOTBALL, but Vladimir Petkovic has WORKED with US on the psychological side of things in particular. I think that's where we've made the most progress. He's brought us closer TOGETHER as a team.

My IMAGINATION is CLOSER to a CHILD's imagination than to a GROWN-UP's.

A protracted legislative FIGHT will not move US closer to where the MUSIC industry wants to be - DELIVERING music to fans through a variety of different, innovative WEB sites.

If you are not moving CLOSER to what you want, you probably aren't doing ENOUGH asking. And you're probably not asking the single most important question that can help you achieve a HIGHER level of success and PERSONAL fulfillment: How am I doing?

Films for TV have to be much closer to the book, mainly because the objective with a TV movie that translates literature is to get the AUDIENCE, after SEEING this version, to pick up the book and READ it themselves. My attitude is that TV can NEVER really be any FORM of art, because it serves audience expectations.

The CLOSER you can GET to being PERSONAL, the better the WORK is, or the more INTERESTING the work is.

I'm equally GUILTY of using TECHNOLOGY - I Twitter, I TEXT people, I chat. But I think there's something strangely insidious about it that it makes us think we're closer when in fact we're not seeing each other, we're not CONNECTING.

Biggie was the King Of NEW York as a RAPPER. There's a LOT more DANGEROUS guys than Biggie Smalls out there, you KNOW what I'm saying? John Gotti was way closer to King Of New York than him.

So if we're going to build NEW applications that require a large time investment, like say MOVIE EDITING - today that doesn't matter for the enterprise desktop, but eventually it will when we get closer to CONSUMERS - you really need to have a cross-platform story.
