“It's a cultural disability in America that we worship pleasure, leisure, and affluence. I think the church is doubly damned when they use Jesus as a vehicle for achieving all of that.

“I like the comfort in knowing that women are the only future in rock and roll.”
“In politics evils should be remedied not revenged.”

“One of the best things data can enable us to do is to ask questions we didn't know to ask.”
