I'm tired of watching attractive people trying to be ugly, struggling for authenticity. Why not be yourself?

Everything I do is 100% automation, which means I'm just doing it live.

What could be more experimental than me writing a straight up love song?

Humour is the shortest road from one person to another.

You're a parasite for sore eyes.

I am and will always be just simply a basball player, my tomb stone will just say. Baseball.

Tolerance is a good cornerstone on which to build human relationships.

If you have a voice, sing; but if you have good arms, then go in for dancing.
