Wisdom is a lamp

I consider myself a synthetic thinker in a virtual domain therefore if I’m way off there is no solid foundation or reference for authentic stupidity.

I'm healthy, have a loving and adorable family, great hunting dogs, a gravity defying musical career and most importantly, fuzzy-headed idiots hate me.

I've got the kid. I feel a little more relief that I don't have to just think about myself too much.

For me, it's always been the initial business - just getting a word down, any words down, on a blank piece of paper. Once I've done that, I'm away. Beginning is one half of the deed.

We shall say clearly that any symbol conspicuously displaying religious affiliation in school is prohibited.

Sometimes when I'm traveling, I feel a little bit dislocated, especially the transitions you make when you're traveling - you go to a different city every day.

If I need something, I'll invent it.

Leadership is not about control but service. Its not about power but empowerment

In the culture of pluralism...the only thing that cannot be tolerated is a claim to exclusivity.

What we are doing is deeply unfair and a profound tragedy - what we're doing in the way of global warming, what we're doing to the oceans - and none of it makes any sense to me.
