I don’t know how many of you have been to New York, but if a building is two blocks away from anything, you can’t see it.

Apple has long been a leading innovator of mobile technology I myself own an iPhone.

I don't consider myself an artist necessarily, but craftsmen or people in the arts, their spiritualism is sort of when you're writing well or performing well or doing whatever you do well, there's an element of that that's either God-given, a talent that you're not necessarily responsible for.
