I am far more of a loner than people would imagine. But I am the most gregarious and socially interactive loner you ever met.

Elizabeth Gilbert

Time, Give, Away

Time, Good, Real

I wish I could write about shows outside New York. I often feel like the last person to know anything, because I almost never get to leave town, and when I do, I tend to go for three days max. Seeing between 30 and 40 shows a week in 100 or so galleries and museums takes up nearly all my time.
Jerry Saltz

LeBron James

Time, Game, Saying

Harry Connick, Jr.

Time, Everything, Play
