I'm a big advocate of the power of positive thinking, particularly for small businesses.

One of our first customers asked me how big we want to be. I said I want to be really big. Later, it bothered me that I answered that way. Now I say I just want to be a great company.

Brand is not a product, that's for sure; it's not one item. It's an idea, it's a theory, it's a meaning, it's how you carry yourself. It's aspirational, it's inspirational.

Challenging schools to treat their students as customers with a choice, instead of inmates serving time.

If I had my life to live over, I'd pick more daisies.

Dreams are excursions into the limbo of things, a semi-deliverance from the human prison.

It may be that there was no reason or purpose, for mankind must always be finding reasons where there are none, and comfort in a purpose that hardly exists.

Meanings of all songs come after they are recorded. Someone else has to interpret them

But let me tell you what happens when regulations go too far, when they seem to exist only for the purpose of justifying the existence of a regulator. It kills the people trying to start a business.

Catherine Keener really gets me. She and I have such a shorthand together.

The federal government cannot maintain a budget surplus any more than an alcoholic can leave a fresh bottle of whiskey untouched in the cupboard.
