I think self-reliance and self-responsibility and self-accountability will help you as a parent, a teacher, as a citizen as a friend.

If I had to live my life in anticipation of what others thought of me, little would get done.

I've made some great mistakes in my life, but, you know, they were honest mistakes.

But I have a good life. I enjoy what I do. I am married to work.

I still have dreams about CBGB's. I still miss the place.

I have been an XL fan of Devo since I was in high school in the 1970s. Their records only sound better with time.

I'm not a singer. If you've heard any of my records, that's not singing. I have no vocal qualities whatsoever. I've got a lot of enthusisam and I go to the cross, but there's no skill going on there. It's more just intuitiveness.
