I have long known that it is part of God's plan for me to spend a little time with each of the most stupid people on earth.

Pretty much at all times music motivates me. How can I say this without sounding in any way proud of myself? Obviously I've always written songs that are critical of our government, and talk about our times. Hopefully you attempt to be timeless while doing it.

It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

The chief enemy of creativity is 'good' sense.

Business can learn about new conditions the same way a gene pool does. I'm not claiming companies can get smarter, just that dumb ones will die.

Show me a thoroughly satisfied man and I will show you a failure.
