There's challenges in life that present themselves unexpectedly, and if you rise to them, then those challenges will toughen you up.

People come up to me and say, 'You changed my life.' I don't think I changed anyone's life. I think their life changed while they were listening to the music.

If you hear a New Order track that's mostly electronic, it's generally come about through one person sitting at a computer and programming it.

I entered music at a poppy level.

I think New Order have got their own sound. But what we like to do is experiment, using dance music and other things.

Those memories of living in a developing nation are part of who I am today and give me a profound understanding of the challenges of economic development - an understanding which will make my tenure as Peace Corps director, I hope, a very special one.

The privilege, and the challenges, of taking on Black Widow have never been lost on me. I worked on the first 'Spiderman' game as well as 'Fantastic Four,' and I had always wanted to be able to tell more of a character-driven comic book story than was possible to fit into a game narrative.

The lurking suspicion that something could be simplified is the world's richest source of rewarding challenges.

When you're faced with challenges in any industry, but especially the music industry, it tests you in a lot of ways, both personally and professionally.
