I'm really conscious of not doing something just for the sake of moving forward.

Working out is modern couture. No outfit is going to make you look or feel as good as having a fit body. Buy less clothing and go to the gym instead.

The coolest thing is when you don't care about being cool.

As there were no black Founding Fathers, there were no founding mothers - a great pity, on both counts.

One-half plus one-half does not equal one; one whole plus one whole equals relational wholeness.

The Bassbone works great in the studio or on the live stage. Throw it in your gig bag and take it wherever you go.

One has to understand what the enemy is all about: the enemy's history, the enemy's culture, the enemy's aspirations. If you understand these well, you can perhaps move towards peace.
