I love to musicalize things. You do employ a whole level of gravity. You use the emotional heft of music.

Do goofy stories make people nice? What if, in their goofiness, these stories somehow inspire that in the right way. Is that a social good?

I hate conservatives, but I really hate liberals.

With religion I was always like, 'Does it matter if it's true if it makes you happy?'
