I was blessed with a gift. It's a gift and a curse. It never ends

I wish I was a little more gregarious and outgoing

You're successful if you can get one person to pick it up and put it on the turntable and go, Wow, thanks for writing that!

Love is the promise that guides me.

Down the ancient corridors through the gates of time, run the ghosts of dreams that we have left behind.

Wealthy the spirit that knows its own flight. Stealthy the hunter who slays his own fright. Blessed the traveler who journeys the length of the light

Love when you can, cry when you have to, be who you must, that's a part of the plan. Await your arrival with simple survival, and one day we'll all understand.

My life is as an artist, not an entertainer. I don't consider myself an entertainer, but I can do that thing when I want to

There's a heaven on earth that so few ever find, though the map's in your soul and the road's in your mind

A simple smile, a tender touch, speaks the true language of love.

Between the worlds of men and make believe I can be found.

The greatest men stand on their values and pray on their knees.

I've lost so many battles than I can even remember. What I never knew, though, was that I was actually stronger than I thought I was.

I strive for an architecture from which nothing can be taken away.

When we were attacked militarily it was our duty to defend our country.

And as to experience-well, think how little some good poets have had, or how much some bad ones have.

Ty it well, and let it goe.

Theoretical concepts of music and extended techniques are more like seasoning to me; they're not the meal. I like outside music that still has a sense of forward motion and an emotive quality to it.

These mysteries about how we evolved should not distract us from the indisputable fact that we did evolve.

I am not aware that any community has a right to force another to be civilized.

Just another cold, misty morning inviting, "want to go again?"
