You can't shut off the risk and the pain without losing the love that remains.

I took a month long vacation in the stratosphere, and you know it's very hard to hold your breath.

Until I realized that rock music was my connection to the rest of the human race, I felt like I was dying, for some reason, and I didn't know why.

Everybody's got a hungry heart.

I tend to be not my own best company. I can get a little lost when - if I don't have my work to occasionally focus me.

I leave pansies, the symbolic flower of freethought, in memory of the Great Agnostic, Robert Ingersoll, who stood for equality, education, progress, free ideas and free lives, against the superstition and bigotry of religious dogma. We need men like him today more than ever. His writing still inspires us and challenges the 'better angels' of our nature, when people open their hearts and minds to his simple, honest humanity. Thank goodness he was here.

In the end what you don't surrender, well, the world just strips away.
