In summer winter rain or sun, it's good to be on horseback.

Im an ardent Trekkie and I look forward to the United Federation of Planets.

I'd probably say to my younger self, get yourself a whole collection of lawyers. Which is what I have now.

Punk is the way of those who are unable to express themselves, but they aren't dangerous; at worst, they may kill their audience.
