The 100 Years Project - Presented by DanaRoc.com

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

I want to be remembered as someone who had a generous spirit and a warm heart.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

That I remembered that there were seven generations of responsibility and that I actually thought about y'all.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

I really don’t think that I'd like to be remembered for anything in 100 Years. Part of me thinks that your spirit lingers as long as someone is pulling on you in this world and -

I'd like to move on...

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

I want to be remembered for my excellent gardening skills.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

I want to be remembered for a very controversial art project.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

I want to be remembered for being an amazing brother and uncle and for perhaps selling some really expensive and awesome artwork.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

I always said when I was growing up that when I die that if I know that I have touched one person’s life for the better than I would be able to die happy. I have definitely carried that on through my life. I have been involved with a lot of service throughout the years. I served with Americorps last year and I have always kind of pursued The Peace Corps.

I want to be remembered for having a positive impact on people’s lives even if it’s just helping them with their stroller down the stairs at the subway. I am always looking for those opportunities to impact people and to make them want to then return the favor to someone else...

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

I want to be remembered for my body of work, for the paintings that I have done over my lifetime from the huge ones to the small ones. My daughter says that she will make that happen...

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

I don’t want to be remembered for anything in particular I just want people to smile when they think of me.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

People want to do profound things. I don't think I'm one of those people that will do something profound. What I want to be remembered for is touching a lot of people’s lives with the work that I do. I believe that we all have a responsibility to affect the people around us whether family members or people we work with, my students…if I could teach them something that will help them get through life and to be on the right path and more successful and not suffer so much, then that's is what I want to be remembered for. So, nothing really profound but I would like to leave someone with something I said that made a difference even if just for a day.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

Most of all I want to be remembered for how I helped people, maybe motivating someone to believe in themselves in a way that they didn’t because people in their life didn’t help them with that. Yeah. I want to help pave the way for people who maybe aren’t brave enough or who don’t have the right tools. Maybe I was given tools that others don’t have and I want to share those things.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

I want to be remembered for being amazingly colorful.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

I actually wanted to be a monk but then I tasted the sweetness of flesh. My wife is the sweetest woman in the world so I can’t be a monk. But I love God and I love doing God’s work and that’s what I want to be remembered for...

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

I want to be remembered as a person who never used Facebook.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

I want to be remembered for bringing the Mau Mau to the forefront in our fight to kick out the British from our sovereign land.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

First and foremost I want to be remembered as a wonderful friend that never let her friends down. I want to be remembered for being a good family member and a good community member.

I would like to come up with some sort of treatment for one of the neurologic diseases that plague a lot of my patients but who knows in 100 years. I think we are making a lot of strides in those realms.

I would like to have completed at least a play, a book, a poem that was my own creative expression. (I have two sides, an artistic side and a scientific side and I’d like to make sure that both realize their potential. It’s hard to do everything at once).

I would like to be able to say that I was able to maintain my integrity the entire time. I’d like to be able to say that I didn’t let anybody down in my close circle of friends and my family.

In terms of medicine, I really always wanted to change how medicine is looked at from the perspective of integrating many different forms of medicine and the way they look at diagnosis, the way they look at the whole person and the way they look at treating the actual root cause rather than the symptoms and using my Western toolbox to actually bring a more traditional or indigenous sensibility to Western medicine without giving up the Western toolbox within that.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

I’ve started a new project...

I have always envisioned people growing their own food and having these little farms in the city. I think that now is the perfect time for me. I worked in entertainment, but I love food, especially raw food.

So, in 100 Years from now if we’re not gone, I’d like to see people move toward raw food and move toward growing their own food instead of this globalized entity. I would like to have been a part of that. I feel like people are reconnecting with so many things and I feel like food is a great place to start the reconnection...

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

Hmmm... Not working in sales. And actually, I do want to be a therapist so one day I would like to help people to overcome the things that I had a hard time with as a child, the things that people struggle with on a day-to-day basis. So I want to be remembered for trying to help people in our generation and the next generation conquer the things that are stumbling blocks for them.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

What I would most like to be remembered for 100 Years from now is probably being one of the people who helped the children of the Baby Boomers attain their adulthood after the ultra extended imperium of those born in the aftermath of World War II and who helped turned the tide of chaos and misery that is threatening to engulf us now. And I’d like to do that through such activites as running a communitarian boutique and gallery like Snowy Wilderness.

About the name:The reason for the "a.k.a. Snowy Wilderness" is that the ultimate idea for the name came from an alter ego character whose actually on the alter ego pocket square in the window. "Snowy Wilderness". A simultaneouly rugged and refined mythomane; a men’s fashion plate dandy-ish sort of fellow who was my alter ego for some years.

About where I come from: My life story spans Green Bay, Wisconsin, Blind River, Ontario, Madison, Wisconsin, Park Slope, Brooklyn , Evanston, Illinois a.k.a. Heaven-ston (Heaven-ston is our Yale). And then I went to college at The London School of Economics in London England and now, like a salmon returning to the pool where it was spawned, I have returned to Park Slope, Brooklyn…(I actually live in Crown Heights. I’m about to move to Flatbush, my ultimate place of power that perfectly balances man and nature on the planet. Culture and commerce. Snowy Wilderness.

About where I live: I am getting ready, on June 1st in Sha la la (word to the house of knowledge), to move to Hawthorne Street in Flatbush between Flatbush and Bedford with my lovely girlfriend Emma Zurer, Brooklyn’s Lady Liberty. Shout out to her...

My word of inspiration to all of the young people flocking to Brooklyn: In the mean times, in-between times and the lean times, I do whatever it takes and work whatever job is necessary to survive in New York.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

I want to be remembered for helping games in education get to a point where there are effective in a scientifically validated manner to help our very technologically savvy youth get educated in a way that is not based in a 19th century educational model.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

100 Years from now I would like to be remembered for definitely being a good father and a good family member. That would be nice. I would also like to have created beautiful, meaningful things. If I was known for having done that on just a couple of occasions, that would be nice.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

I’d like to think that the shop, One Girl Cookies (even if it’s not still around), that people will say "Hey, remember that cookie shop down on the corner? That place was great!" I hope that it provides fond memories for people even two generations from now. I think that would be a great momento.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

For living life.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

For being me. That’s all.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

I don’t know. I have no idea. I don’t think I will be remembered except in a photo in the family album and they will say "That was a grand Grandfather!" Otherwise, no.

I am not someone who will really be remembered...

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

I want to be remembered for my influence on the food world and agriculture.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

I hope 100 Years from now that I am remembered for making a difference in the lives of struggling readers.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

I wanna be remembered for trying to bring my people and set them back on the throne where they belong. All people. Not just my people but the whole world. I want us to come to be one. As one family.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

For something that I created, something artistic that I created...

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

That I came from Brooklyn. There was a time when I would never say that I lived in Brooklyn. I used to say that I lived in Staten Island...

I have seen the good and the bad of Brooklyn and whatever is happening now is amazing – in a good way. Absolutely in a good way! People ran away from Brooklyn. The streets were deserted. It was deserted. Come 5:00 at night there was nobody out. It’s unbelievable what has happened. I wouldn’t believe if I hadn’t seen it. And still I don’t believe it! That’s how bad Brooklyn was.

Brooklyn was burned. All of Fulton Street was burned. Flatbush Avenue was burned. Bed Stuy? Part of it was burned. East New York was burned. In the '60s with the Civil Rights Movement and all that nonsense. We suffered here and we had nothin' to do with it. It all started from the South. The North was fine. I worked with blacks 50 years ago. It was no problem. No problem at all. Today there are more problems and there is more racial hate today than what it was then, 50 years ago.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

I want to be remembered for my images that I shot, for my Rock 'n Roll images... mostly punk and hip hop. I want to be remembered for my images that captured the roots of punk and hip hop...

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

For Nothingness...

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

I want to be remembered for my vision... Wow! No one has ever asked me this question before. It’s weird because I am turning 30 in two weeks so all I have been thinking about what I have accomplished and what I haven’t accomplished... I want to be remembered for being free and for being brave and ambitious and fearless.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

I want to be known as man who loved and unified many different communities.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

Really the most important thing is that I want people to remember me for making them laugh.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

I never think about it but I want to be remembered as a nice person.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

Well, I know what I will be remembered for. I do this crazy fitness trend thing called Kangoo Jumps. I am associated with it. Everyone knows me for it. I kind of brought it to the United States from Europe. I want to be remembered for being that crazy guy who did that crazy fitness thing and I will be because everyone that sees me says, "You're that guy!" It's something that I want to be remembered for because it's great….

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

I have no idea.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

I want to be remembered for touching lives and making a difference in this world. In what capacity? I'm not quite sure yet. I do want to enlighten children. I have a strong connection with children although I don't have any of my own. They are our future...

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

First of all give God thanks for 100 Years from now and for our health and for our strength. For helping out people. That's what I want to be remembered for. Yeah. For helping people.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

I would like to be remembered for being a smiley person.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

As someone who tried to realize his potential as a human being and did that exact thing.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

For the greatness of my children.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

100 Years from now I want to be remembered as a visionary and as someone who cared about her community and used what she could do artistically to educate, entertain and to spark a discussion.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

100 Years from now I want to be remembered as a visionary and as someone who cared about his community and used what he could do artistically to educate, entertain and to spark a discussion.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

For my patience.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

I want to be remembered for being an honest person who raised two awesome kids who carried on that same honesty to future generations.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

Allegra: I want to be remembered as someone who was kind and giving on small and large scales.

Dario: Batman!

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

Uhhhhh, let me get back to you...

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

As someone who was willing to take a risk and be out there with my own very personal story. When I tell people my story I get this strange look. It's either totally blank or they will say "Okay. Can you excuse me?" They can't process it... I met with a group of successful women, senior executives, and at the end of the session a woman came up to me and she just started crying.

I want to know that I gave someone the space to know that it was okay to talk and to get help and that they are not the only ones going through what they are going through. That’s important to me. So that is what I hope I am remembered for: For opening the door for someone to get emotional freedom and healing.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

For my influence.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

The work I used to do was with farmers. I worked with farmers in Africa basically, helping them to run their businesses and to run their families better and, if I helped one woman, and a hundred years from now her descendant could be in a better position than she was, I'd be a happy person about that.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

I want to be known as more than just a rapper. I know that for sure. I just want to be known as someone who lived my life completely free – mentally, physically and spiritually - and I just hope I don't have to compromise too much in the industry...

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

I want to be remembered as a great healer and leader in helping people to overcome sexual abuse trauma from childhood, both with my music, my words, my work as a future social worker and educator and with my writing.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

For creating a one track song that people will remember 100 years from now because of it's simplicity; for being perfectly simple and for operating within the guidelines of genre... Operating within genre to create something so simple that it will be remembered in 100 years.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

Lisa: Poetry.

Yesak: firefighter.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

I don't think any of us are going to be remembered for anything except if you’re somebody like FDR you'll be remembered – in books anyway. But 100 years from now there won't be anyone alive who can remember any of us.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

For being able to live up to the people that I respect the most.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

For being a good person.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

I want them to make a statue of me. Just the head. To let people know that I was here...

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

For having raised great children and grandchildren.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

For being Lionel.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

Delakwa: For being an NBA basketball player.

Constant: For being an artist.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

For the times we had, the doors we opened, the places we traveled, the friends we made and the love we shared.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

100 Years from now I want to be remembered for making a change in this world, making a dominant change in this world and being remembered for being just a beautiful person, making people happy. Anything that I can do to make someone happy, to make them smile – just being remembered for my presence in a good way.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

The only thing I really ever wanted to be was a writer and instead I don’t write at all. I spend my entire time working at the bookstore. I think that I am just like everybody else – my self identity has almost nothing to do with my life.

I really believe in the power of literature to change the world and keep the world a sustainable, beautiful place. So I guess I want to be remembered for keeping the fire burning at least for another few decades...

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

I want to be remembered for the best parts of me and for the fact that I always did my best.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

I want to be remembered for creating the funniest and best cookbook ever.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

It sounds cliche but I want to be remembered for making a difference, making people's lives better and easier, for having good "ju ju", for making people laugh and for saving a cat from the Gawanis Canal who is now a transexual.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

For counseling. Yeah. And for being a good role model.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

Making people feel beautiful.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

For figuring out how to show everything that is going on in some sort of diagram or framework that anyone can access. Yeah...

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

I want to be remembered for computer designs and for the buildings that I have sold. Hopefully my future kids and future grandkids will remember me as loving and kind and I hope they will be thankful for the things that I will have done for them. That's pretty much it!

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

I want to be remembered for going abroad and building new schools for little children.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

I want to be remembered for groundbreaking, innovative roles and artistic movies.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

I want to be for being kind, wise, loving, strong and compassionate.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

Probably my kindness and, I don't know, maybe for some of the stories that I wrote that maybe made a difference.

But, yeah. For being a kind person with a happy karma.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

I want to be remembered as someone who inspired people and motivated people to be all that they can be. That sounds like the Army ad but, yeah. I do this job everyday because I want to encourage people to just discover their potential and to tap into everything that they can be. It’s not always only physical. I feel that everything that you do in the group fitness studio is applicable to the outside world and that is what I hope I get across in my classes.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

100 Years from now I want to be remembered for redefining utilitarian objects as beautiful objects and for bringing a sense of focus and simplicity to the world of video art.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

I haven’t given it much thought. Growing up I always thought I wanted to be remembered as an athlete or something along those lines. Those days are gone. I guess as long as it’s not for anything terrible, you know, just as long as it’s not for mass murder or anything which is not something I plan on doing, you know. As long as I am not infamous, that’ll be fine...

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

I just want people to remember me as a happy person. Just to have been a happy person. That’s it. Simple. I am very simple. Yeah...

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

I want to be remembered for revolutionizing community healthcare. I would like to start a healthcare collective so that people who can’t afford the entirety of their treatment can work it off either in a greenhouse, a lending library or a daycare.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

100 Years from now I want to be remembered for how I battled breast cancer. And, I am still around!!

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

I think my time as a teacher showed me the wonder of passing something on to a new generation. If I could be remembered for anything in 100 years from now I am not sure exactly what that would be. But I can say I hope there will be people walking the Earth whose lives have been improved in some way because of me.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

I don’t think I want to be remembered for anything, honestly. I had a guy that helped me go to college. He helped 35,000 other students as well and for his memorial, when he died, everybody sent out a copy of a book that they wrote and published. Some were in science. Some were in law. Some were in public relations or biology or medicine... The books formed a pyramid as a memorial. I would love to have one of those for me one of these days...

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

That I left more than I took.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

For being unique and creative. Yep. For being unique and creative.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

As one of the best UPS guys that ever lived.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

I want to be remembered for peace, beauty and culture and I want to be remembered for having spread it around as much as possible.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

100 Years from now I want to be remembered for redefining utilitarian objects as beautiful objects and for bringing a sense of focus and simplicity to the world of Video Art.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

Jake: For being against cruelty to animals.

Claudie: For catching one of those big birds that keep landing on my window sill early every morning. (I think they’re French. Pigeons? Yeah. That’s French).

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

I want to be remembered for being a nice, generous, caring and loving person.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

Motivating people. 100 Years from now I want to leave a legacy to let people know that through meditation and positive energy that they can be anything that they want to be, so that is what I want to leave behind.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

I hope to be remembered for taking the widest array of adventures that maybe aren't quite so hairy but that not any other person has done in one lifetime.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

I want to be remembered for igniting love in everyone I met.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

Wow. I want to be remembered as a great hard worker in my profession – as a professional stylist. That is my profession and that is what I want to be remembered for.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

I guess for my unique aesthetic and for my optimism.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

I would like to be remembered as somebody who created a platform for young artists to find their own voice, whether its through helping create a community of artists that support one another and work together to help each other achieve, even in just small steps. Small steps help make an artistic career. It can be anyone from a visual artist to a dancer to a musician, whether its a collaborative project or just helping someone find the proper training or the right channel to find their voice as an artist.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

I hope to be remembered as one who made progress toward solving the mystery behind autism: finding the cause, and then finding the cure! I hope I will be remembered as one who took advantage of every minute, made the best of every situation, and valued every friendship.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

Definitely for my strength. Yes.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

It would be nice if I could be remembered for getting people to sing a little bit more.

If you consider the world 100 Years from now, what do you think will still be hanging around?

I think people will be making music together. It won’t be the kind of music that we are listening to now but I am optimistic that people will still be singing together and that they will be making their own music in a casual way. But, because thirty years from now White people will only be half of the population, there will be a cultural shift. That shift towards a completely different cultural landscape will exist. That is going to affect the music. This sort of Anglo model that we are working with now will be much less prevalent. So it will be a richer musical tapestry. That to me is an exciting thing, musically and it is underway.

Music for families is really my world and if you go to the record store you really can’t find diverse music. If you base your conclusion on what is out there in the record stores or online you would think that the world is only inhabited by white people...

I want to be remembered for having a very aesthetic life.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

I want to be remembered as the best mom!

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

I want to be remembered for making a positive influence in the lives of children and seniors. I want to develop a program called "Transitions" to help them out and hopefully that will be what I will be remembered for.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

I hope that I will be remembered as part of the movement for Lesbian Gay Bi-Sexual Transgender (LGBT) youth and making them safer in our schools.  That is what I have dedicated my life to since 1996 when our son came out to us.  I couldn’t help out with The Civil Rights Movement which I wanted to do because I was raising my family then, but this is The Civil Rights Movement that I am passionate about.  I hope that I am remembered for helping to make the positive changes that need to happen in our society.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

I want to be remembered for inspiring people to love their bodies and to work toward their personal best.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

100 Years from now I want to be remembered for the books I write. I want to be remembered for the book I am writing now, The Maturation of Moses Jones, and the two books that will follow in a trilogy. It’s about the 1990's and about the early 21st Century and just life...

That I embraced each new journey in life and blossomed wherever I was planted. Also, that I gave love as much as I received love, including gestures both big and small. Oh, and that I had great style!

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

I own a production company with my partner Lukas Hauser. I am a director and a producer. I am also an editor. Our projects range from films, documentaries and various kinds of commercial work. We do a lot of web videos and music videos and Public Service Announcements.

I am mostly a director my partner is more of an editor. My favorite thing is to direct because I like working with people.

I am currently working on a documentary called Generation 8 with Timothy-Greenfield Sanders. It is about the state of The Gay and Lesbian Rights Movement post Proposition 8 as it looks like the case is heading to the Supreme Court.

I am also adapting a novel called In The City of Shy Hunters by Tom Spanbauer to be my first feature film…

What is that about?

It’s a novel that is dear to my heart. The story takes place in the 1980s in the East Village of New York City and captures a scene and a time in the downtown New York art scene that I caught just a glimpse of, just the end of, when I first moved to New York. That scene is the reason I fell in love with The City. There was such an incredible alive vibrant creative energy here back then. You would go out and on one side of you there would be a millionaire and on the other side of you would be a starving artist. Kids could come to New York with nothing but a dream and the cloths on their back and find a way to make it here. Unfortunately New York became so expensive that it squeezed out a lot of that creative energy. It’s not so easy to chase a dream here anymore.

The City of Shy Hunters captures the spirit of the city that I fell in love with. It also takes place during the onset of the AIDS crisis.

The new generation of kids has really kind of forgotten about or hasn’t had the experience of the AIDS crisis but I think it’s a story that is worth telling and worth remembering...

What feelings does the question “What do you want to be remembered for in 100 Years” drive up for you?

Just to be remembered at all would be a lovely thing...

My grandparents have left an impression on me. There have been many artists and writers who have left something in the world that are important to me or moved me in some way…I don’t know if I will have an impact, either in a personal way or in a larger way. I don’t know if I’ll be able to leave behind a film that I have created that will still move people, but I sure hope so. That would be wonderful...

Could you identify something for me that for you represents this particular time that we are living in?

Well, we were just talking about the movie Social Network. I don’t know if Facebook is going to be the symbol of where we are right now but I think that there is something about being able to put out into the world your thoughts or your images that is unique. And, being able to find some kind of audience of people who are interested in what you have to say...

We are able to have an impact, much more now than people in the past. Our methods of communication have changed so rapidly. It used to cost hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars to make a movie and now someone with a good story can get a camera and make something inexpensively and have it look great and get it out to the world, whether that is on Facebook or Youtube.

Alternative modes of distribution are now available. As a film maker that can be a big challenge because now there are a lot more people out there but its also really exciting to be able to hear from a much more diverse group of voices.

Fill in the blank. In 100 years I hope that:

In 100 Years I hope that we have learned to live with each other more true to our nature, which I believe is one of goodness and respect and tolerance. Whether in regards to the recent suicides because of school bullying or global conflicts that are escalating around the world, I hope that we are able to live more in harmony with what I believe is our true nature – goodness.

It’s interesting when you consider the miners in Chile that were just rescued after almost three months of being buried miles underground. They had to work together in harmony in order for everyone to survive. They are a demonstration that it is possible to yield to our good nature...

I think that story is remarkable. I heard at first that the miners were all fighting about the order in which they would be lifted out and at first I think people assumed that they were all fighting to be first but that is not what the report was. They were all fighting to be last. They wanted their “brothers” to go ahead of them...

I think there is a real culture of self-advancement. There is a real belief that people have the power to create anything they can for themselves as long as they think it hard enough or have a strong enough desire for it. I think that is really dangerous. It’s really “me” focused and that kind of thinking leads people to forget that they have a responsibility to help others.

100 Years from now what do you want to be remembered for? There it is Sam! There is “the question”!

My relationships with my family and friends have provided a life that I love. I am so grateful to the people in my life. I hope to be remembered as a loving son and brother and as a loyal friend. Beyond that, I hope that I can leave some kind of mark in the work that I do.

There are two areas of work that I am most interested in. One is socially relevant work. I mentioned that I am working on a documentary right now called Generation Eight with photographer Timothy Sanders. I am hoping that this film has the potential to impact the world.

The other realm of work that I really love is Fiction filmmaking. I have been touched and moved so much by films in my life, just getting lost and transfixed in a story and totally connecting with the emotion that the filmmaker has led me to. That has been such a profound experience. If I am able to create something that has that kind of power, that would be really exciting.

I had a teacher in college whose name was Thomas Roma. He used to say:

“To make something that has real meaning can either make you remember something that is worth remembering or create a new experience for the viewer”.

If I could do one of those two things and be remembered for it, I would be very happy.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

That a beautiful woman once asked if she could take my picture.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

...that I gave more than I took.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

I want to be remembered for inspiring people.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

Whatever.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

I want to be remembered for educating people that important things matter... I also want to be remembered for being a charitable person..

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

I want to be remembered for coming to live in New York.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

We are alive right now. We should just live...

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

I would like to be remembered for being a great and fair boss, for being fair and reasonable with the artists that I worked with and generally, I would like to be remembered for attempting to perpetuate reason...

Reason?

Reason. Over faith.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

I want to be remembered for having lived a simple life and for having been authentic with the people that were in my life... I don’t feel like I am really answering your question...

Well when people think back a hundred years from now about who you were...

...Ah, a Simple guy. “Oh that Johannes! He sure was a simple guy! So simple...”

No, I just want to be remembered as someone who was simple and authentic and as someone who followed his heart and was truthful to himself.

It’s really interesting because I am remembering a conversation that Auguste and I had where we decided that the key to leaving people inspired is:

Elegance and authenticity . Keep it simple. Tell the truth.

I think you just called yourself elegant.

Well, elegant? I guess I’ll take that. I don’t know if I’d directly say “I’m so elegnat” but if you breakdown simple like that than I would, after all, like to be remebered as just “a simple” guy.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

The five things that came to mind are a little bit of a blend of personal and professional, those things that I define myself as...

First, I want to be remembered for being really genuinely passionate about finding ways to improve the lives of others. I want to be remembered for doing work that was not just something that I did because perhaps I was good at it or something to pay the bills but that I did something that I really loved being a part of.

I love finding creative ways to make someone's 24 hours a little brighter. I really truly believe that every person can make a difference in someone else's life. That is my passion and I have chased after that with my whole heart.

Second, I want to be remembered for loving with complete honestly and selflessness and that I took the responsibility and the privilege of loving very seriously.

Thirdly, I want to be remembered for the obstacles that I face; that I didn't let the obstacles drag me down but instead that I used every obstacle as a step up and a way to make myself stronger and those around me stronger. I want to be remembered that I was very honest about my obstacle and that I didn't hide them and that I spoke up and found community with people that had the same challenges I had and that we connected and became collectively stronger.

Fourth, I want to be remembered for not taking anything for granted. I understand completely how lucky I have been in being born where I was born, when I was born and to whom I was born. And, that I understood my privilege and what kind of responsibilities came with that privilege.

Lastly, the older I get, the more responsibility I feel for mentoring the next generation and taking the lessons that I have learned and passing them on. I want to support young women in really discovering what they are passionate about. I am so glad that my parents gave me the kind of push and independence to find that out on my own and I want to be remembered for having spent time giving this concept back to young women:

Find out what you are passionate about and use that in some way to make the lives of others better.

Is your life right now a demonstration of what you want to be remembered for?

I think that everyday I live these things.

It clicked for me when I was 19 years old and started traveling and feeling like I could connect with women all over the world for different reasons; for things that I have dealt with in my childhood that I think are universal to women.

At the Fledgling Fund I feel slightly removed because I am not in the trenches but the work feels really important because it is part of building movements. The people who are in the trenches and working day to day need a group of people that they know are supporting them. I am doing that. I am helping to build those movements with the films and with the creative media that we support.

I also spend a lot of time outside of work writing and working with my organization in Kenya. All of these things define who I am everyday. I wouldn't change a single thing about it. I hope that I am lucky enough that this can continue...I wake up every single morning for the last 10 years loving the work that I am doing! I have found the intersection of profession and passion...

Identify one thing that, for you, represents the time that we are living in right now.

The thing that instantly pops to mind is the inter-connectedness of us all. Maybe it's because of the popularity of the movie The Social Network but the thing that immediately comes to mind is Facebook.

I can talk to the young woman in the slums of East Africa, right here from this Internet café right now and I couldn't do that a decade ago. Social networking and the Internet is something that is defining my generation. Nothing feels far away anymore. Nothing feels out of reach.

Fill in the blank - In 100 Years I hope that:

In 100 years I hope that life is better than it is now - less disease, less war...

I hope that the trajectory is up in 100 years and that my children and my grandchildren have even more choices and opportunities than I had. I just hope that we don't go backward but I think that's a real possibility...

We've got the ideas. We've got the manpower. We've got the ability. I just hope that in 100 years we are making the decisions that will lead to a better life for tomorrow's children.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

Being afraid and doing it anyway...

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

I don’t know right now. It’s too early.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

Jewelry! All the time jewelry!

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

That I made people notice.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

That I made a difference. That the kids that I teach and coach - I do it because I want them to grow up with the same values that I did and I want them to look back and give back what I gave them. That’s pretty much it. Simple enough...

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

I hope my business is still around 100 years from now. I hope that the people that work in the salon think that they have a good job. I hope that people remember me as a good daughter, a good wife and a good mommy. I hope so... In 100 years I hope everybody is friendly. No more fighting. No more war. No more terror. I hope so... I am near the Twin Towers. I was here September 11, 2001. It was so terrible. I was so sad at that time. I remember... I hope that the world will be very peaceful in 100 years.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

I want to be remembered as someone who had the courage to follow my own dreams and intuition and who gave other people permission to do the same...

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

I hope that 100 years from now someone, on a rainy day, pulls a copy of my book Cork Boat off the shelf and reads it right then and there and finds this forgotten story of a boat journey inspiring and as a result, decides that they can do anything they want to do...

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

Mostly spreading positivity through music and giving good energy to the world that will hopefully enable a change for future generations.

What are you doing about that right now?

Continuously making more music and on a daily basis spreading good energy to anybody that crosses my path.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

Honestly? Depending on my mood right now? I guess I would rather not be remembered. I would rather be appreciated now and let someone else have the next century. But that might change tomorrow after I’ve had time to think about the question a little longer...

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

That’s an interesting question. It can be either serious or frivolous. I would like to be remembered as being at the forefront of emerging media. There is a whole new era happening. I don’t want to say that I’m MTV in the early 80’s but, kind of what I am doing is progressive and allows people and their work to be seen to a mass audience around the world.

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

Chris: That I have lived on this block in Soho (NYC) all my life since I came from Puerto Rico 53 years ago.

Joaquin: That I worked for 8 years on The World Trade Center before they knocked them down. I could see The Towers from my window every morning. I can’t see them anymore. But I guess everything goes...

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

I want to be remembered as someone who absolutely enjoyed every moment of life.

And what are you doing about that now?

I smile when I should cry...

100 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR?

I don’t care if I’m not remembered. It’s fine with me. Other than the fact that my family might remember me as the great great aunt who painted all of their portraits.

That’s it...
