I've written a lot of prose. I just haven't published it.

I'm not saying I wasn't flawed or amateurish. But you can never say I did anything to appease the music business.

My father was a dreamy fellow - he read Plato and Socrates and watched Phillies games.

It was like being at an Arabian hoedown with a band of psychedelic hillbillies (p. 171).

I think really that's just the basic Christian lesson that sometimes takes us years and years to understand - have equal concern for another human being as you have for yourself or perhaps even more concern for another human being than you have for yourself.

We have to believe, as creators - just like a doctor doing heart surgery has to believe that he can save that person's life. You have to believe that your pursuit is not just a noble pursuit, but a necessary and inborn pursuit to uncover something.

I'm here right now and I want now to be the greatest time.
