I recognize that as a musician there is a certain chauvinism attached to it, which is the thing of, "I spent my time learning how to play. You didn't spend time learning how to play, therefore, you are not a musician."

It's odd that there is a high level of appreciation of nature. There is the aesthetic side that really loves nature and beauty.

What's been great about the human race gives you a sense of how great you might get, how far you can reach.

You need to have many points of reference; many places to touch down and make contact with.

Constantly choosing the lesser of two evils is still choosing evil.

The world has to tell us. In other words, we don't have an agenda or a battle plan or a map or a direction or anything. We're just going along, and our world is telling us.

And for me there's still more material than 20 lifetimes that I can use up.
