One minute you're up half a million in soybeans and the next, boom, your kids don't go to college and they've repossessed your Bentley.

Heaven to me is percussion and bass, a screaming guitar and a burbling Hammond B-3 organ. It's a soup I love being immersed in.

I had the most absurd nightmare. I was poor and no one liked me.

We have the most beautiful planet - the Rockies, the purple fields of the United States, the Lake District, the Pyrenees, the turquoise seas of the tropics.

Personally, I liked working for the university. They gave us money and facilities. We didn't have to produce anything. You've never been out of college. You don't know what it's like out there! I've worked in the private sector ... they expect results!

I not only believe, I believe that there are many different species of ships, there are many different species of extraterrestrials, and not all of them are up to good.

I accept sceptics, you've got to have challenges.
