It's fun hitting on the drums and singing songs.

If I walk down the street in jeans and a plain t-shirt, I don't feel like the world sees me as I want to be seen or as what I am.

Hi. I'm Rachel Trachtenburg. I'm the daughter and the drummer for the Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players.

I like lots of color and mix-and-match.

I like New York better than Seattle. It's bigger. I was really sad when I left, because I miss my friends, but I call them almost every day, and I have friends here now.

I'm learning to play piano. And also the musical saw.

My dad played in different clubs and open mic nights. But he mostly walked dogs. A lot of dogs.

My dad wrote a song about the people in the slides. I started playing harmonica. I was only six.

It's really fun and just to be with a friend while you're working really hard. It can sometimes be really stressful. Also it's just fun to have someone to laugh with and have a good time with.

I like The Beatles and I like The Kinks and I like The Rolling Stones and I like Led Zeppelin and I like Black Sabbath.

I think bootlegging is kinda cool.

Open your mind and let the universe speak to you

If you owe the bank $100 that's your problem. If you owe the bank $100 million, that's the bank's problem.

My chief job is to constantly stir or rekindle the curiosity of people that gets driven out by bureaucracy and formal schooling systems.

Whenever you begin any good work you should first of all make a most pressing appeal to Christ our Lord to bring it to perfection.

If we were to remove the Bible from public schools we would be wasting so much time punishing crimes and taking so little pains to prevent them.

China and the U.S. need each other very badly. Yes, we should argue about some things, but it's not an 'us versus them,' it's an 'us and them' type scenario.

Life's a lot easier when you're dumb.

In my case such an expression as 'to be fallen for' or even 'to be loved' is not in the least appropriate; perhaps it describes the situation more accurately to say that I was 'looked after.

The Chinese do make vast quantities of wine for home consumption, but you wouldn't want to drink it yourself.

Some of us are sixty feet long with a brain the size of a walnut.
