Sometimes things you write are messages to yourself. Even though I think my stuff has a particular voice because you are who you are, it's good to switch it up, professionally and personally. The dare to be great situation is always going to be the one that matters the most.

I remember that, before John Lennon died, everyone was saying that Rolling Stone couldn't do good reporting anymore. But when he died, they wrote this amazing issue, as they should have about Lennon. They did that when Elvis died, too.

I always loved song writers who wrote songs in the first person, so it's kind of like that.

People dance and we have a lot of music and... this might be the closet I get for a while.

Be positive, be positive. It's rough out there, but don't succumb. Don't succumb to the cynicism in the world.

Time puts things in proper perspective.

In the future, everybody is going to be a director. Somebody's got to live a real life so we have something to make a movie about.
