God is all over the place. And even if He isn't, if it makes me feel good, why not?

My parents were very open about what kind of talent I had. They never pushed me to become an accountant because they knew that would be just absolutely ridiculous. So they were encouraging in what I am able to do with some success.

I think of myself as a positive agnostic. I don't know, therefore I'm open. I don't know, therefore I'm interested.

Ideal government would be a very boring job - it would be a matter of organizing a lot of utilities and keeping the wires together and the power plant and all that kind of stuff. It's not a matter of telling people how to live, it's a matter of making it pleasant for them to live. Government should be in the position of distributing food, stuff like that.

I like being in a recording studio. I like watching a song go from the simplicity of the original music.

Through your life, most people peel away the junk that's not useful, that's superfluous. You are determined to peel that away. I do one thing at a time. One man at a time. One car. One house. One child. One job.

Death is like taking an intermission when you can't come back. I like living and being around.
