I have two extraordinary daughters, who, I can say proudly, are doing very well in school and in piano. Daughters are a father's joy.

I try to be grateful for the abundance of the blessings that I have, for the journey that I'm on and to relish each day as a gift.

I am resigning because my secret leaves the governor's office vulnerable.

The music becomes more pure and soulful when it's true, and it has to be true these days with the way the internet works, and the way the game works, everyone wants authentic raps.

The whole point for me is to change as much as possible. If I've done one movie, I've done that, move on.

The purpose of computing is insight, not numbers.

Stand up for your values, be courageous and humble
