It is usually people in the money business, finance, and international trade that are really rich.

In Italy, they add work and life on to food and wine.

The path that we are headed on economically in America is one that leads to total ruination of the American system.

Television has certainly become a wasteland of quality programming.

Nobody would watch Lifestyles of the Poor and the Unknown.

There are no plans, just people fooling themselves by attempting to design their fates and futures. It makes them feel invincible, even if it’s for a transient period of time.

We create our own reality. The blessing (or problem) with this is that when one creates one's own reality, one must live it! Are you living a blessing or is it a curse?

Norman Rockwell, the Brueghel of the 20th century bourgeoisie, the Holbein of Jell-O ads and magazine covers; by common assent, the most American artist of all.

After all these years, I still feel like a boy when I'm on a stream

If one is not happy, one has lost the very purpose of life.

I'm at a point where I let my mind go with flow of the music I'm making and it's not interrupted by me trying to please everybody.
