Monterey was the Maraschino cherry on top of the Sundae that was the '60s. It was totally unprecedented, and the audience was unprecedented in their joy.

Everything worth doing starts with being scared.

They say in the darkest night there is a light beyond

You jump right over anything in the past, and you don't analyze problems.

By my 40s, I finally got out of my own way, so I could become a life creator; a life giver.
