“If I feel like I'm going too far in one direction, I just can it. It's a weird thing. Some of my songs might be cheesy; I try and keep it light. It's hard to explain.”
“I remember that feeling of skin. It's strange to remember touch more than thought. But my fingers still tingle with it.”
“That's maturity-when you realize that you've finally arrived at a state of ignorance as profound as your parents.”
“If you don't go far enough back in memory or far enough ahead in hope, your future will be impoverished.”
“The last few centuries have seen the world freed from several scourges-slavery, for example; death by torture for heretics; and, most recently, smallpox. I am optimistic enough to believe that the next scourge to disappear will be large-scale warfare-killed by the existence and nonuse of nuclear weapons.”
“Here seems now no reasonable justification for continuing any civil plutonium program.”
“For me, exercise is more mental than physical. I crave it for my sanity. Not just the endorphins, but my energy, confidence, and relaxation are all motivated by it.”
“I believe that no matter what you do in life, if you learn the basics through theater, it will help you in everything else - problem solving, communication, discipline, all of that stuff.”
