Sarah Palin is a great example of someone that just stirs the pot for the sake of the attention. No vision, no critical thinking, no backup to her statements. Just to incite little riots everywhere and capitalize upon it financially. To me, she is a microcosm of the ultimate cynicism in American politics.

If I ignore my work, I start having anxiety attacks.

I was sensitive to music and poetry, and it was around me growing up.

I'm not the type to turn to drugs and alcohol, but I do have a profound devotion to art and music - and children.

War is idiocy. We live on a small, small planet, and what we do to others is what we do to ourselves

Work ... is redemption.
