My children just want to get at the world; it is so pleasantly surprising to witness that.
I don't even like doing drum solos live; to me, it's like, 'Ehhh.' It doesn't really interest me.
I think some people record songs and make records a certain way to cater to radio. If you're born to make commercial music that's cool. But if you're born to not make commercial records, maybe you're meant to cater to another market.
I do want to try to put things in perspective today relative to the U.S.-Canada relationship. I would like to start by talking about how important this relationship is to the people of the United States.
I had a passport where I wrote 'artist' under 'occupation' and I remember thinking, 'That's it, it's proved!'
I want to go back to Congress and get to work on making a real difference for the families and workers of South Florida.
Most evolving lineages, human or otherwise, when threatened with extinction, don't do anything special to avoid it.

For me from a pretty young age up until about 21 years old hallucinogenics had a huge place in my life.

Language... Has created the word 'loneliness' to express the pain of being alone. And it has created the word 'solitude' to express the glory of being alone.
I have never found a companion that was so companionable as solitude. We are for the most part more lonely when we go abroad among men than when we stay in our chambers. A man thinking or working is always alone, let him be where he will.
I finally faced the fact that it isn't a crime not having friends. Being alone means you have fewer problems.
Unlike a drop of water which loses its identity when it joins the ocean, man does not lose his being in the society in which he lives. Man's life is independent. He is born not for the development of the society alone, but for the development of his self.
