Our happiness depends on wisdom all the way.

I'm well past the age where I'm acceptable. You get to a certain age and you are forbidden access. You're not going to get the kind of coverage that you would like in music magazines, you're not going to get played on radio and you're not going to get played on television. I have to survive on word of mouth.

What a piece of work is man! how noble in reason! how infinite in faculty! in form and moving how express and admirable! in action how like an angel! in apprehension how like a god! the beauty of the world, the paragon of animals! .

I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.

What is there more kindly than the feeling between host and guest?

Without knowing what I am and why I am here, life is impossible.
