When I hear Sam Cooke's 'A Change Is Gonna Come', it frustrates me because no matter how hard I try, I can never be that good.

I'm not a pop song lyric writer. I can't just focus on one simple meaning or even a double entendre.

I have to say, I'm good with gifts. If I find something perfect for a certain person, I'll just get it and put it away in a kind of nook under my bed - a little gift hutch, if you prefer.

I'd like to just get to a point where maybe we can say something that will be matterful. That's definitely not a word, by the way.

Can our mind evolve to be something other than an extension of our animal needs?

I think a lot of people study the rules too much and then don't know how to be creative.

There are so many little places I want to play, sometimes weird places I think would be fun to play... a bar that's half full.
