"I have enjoyed the trees and scenery of Kentucky exceedingly. How shall I ever tell of the miles and miles of beauty that have been flowing into me in such measure? These lofty curving ranks of lobing, swelling hills, these concealed valleys of fathomless verdure, and these lordly trees with the nursing sunlight glancing in their leaves upon the outlines of the magnificent masses of shade embosomed among their wide branches-these are cut into my memory to go with me forever."

I had a telephone meeting with the executive "handling" me, and he said, "I looked over the notes. Very cute. But lose the beetle.Beetles don't talk." Well, how do you answer that?

“Well sometimes I do not listen to music. But when I do it could range from Frank Sinatra to Copeland. I spend a great deal of time playing the piano because it really is my salvation at times.

“Stuff Happens.â€™ Thatâ€™s the G-rated version. Thatâ€™s a bumper sticker that only a straight white upper middle class male could have made. Because anyone who isnâ€™t straight, anyone who isnâ€™t male, anyone who isnâ€™t white, anyone who isnâ€™t upper middle class knows that stuff doesnâ€™t just happen. Stuff gets done by people to people. Nothing is a coincidence. Nothing is random. This isnâ€™t osmosis. And so we act as if itâ€™s this passive thing, but yet thatâ€™s not the case.”
