I like the process of writing songs. It makes me feel good.

There's a fine line between character building and soul destroying.

It strikes me there's a bunch of people in power who have really strong intentions of running the world and adjusting the world to exactly how they see it.

We have our differences since the beginning of America. It's a legitimate difference. What is the role of government, et cetera, federal, state, local?

He was no longer scared of what tomorrow might bring because yesterday has brought it.

If I declare it to be so, then this is a portrait.

While we reduce our own carbon footprint we will encourage the companies who truck our DVDs and newspapers, sell us paper, and provide an enormous range of products and services to all contribute.
