A television picture or a movie might be lost forever, but your book is waiting.
There are so many people in the world with so many different perspectives. But ultimately, at the heart of it, they're people.
Being in L. A. has definitely given me the opportunity to experience how my music sounds in real life because I can drive around and listen to the mixes, which I couldnt do in New York. I get to feel how a song works in combination with a sunset and a drive through the mountains.
If we can move together as a species, I think that there is a possibility that we can make the world a better place.
I believe in the power of song. Under the spell of the right song, passion is within reach, love is close by, and you are not alone!
If youre going to reach for it, reach all the way for it. Albums like Purple Rain and Thriller and those kind of records, you had to reach far above the din of cynicism and modern living to get to that place, against all the odds.
Under the spell of the right song, passion is within reach. . . love is close by. . . and you are not alone! With such potency, music should be treated with care. The sound, the feel, the presentation. . . everything! It is a medicine. It is a teacher!

I have a trophy case that contains all the action figures ever made of me. It also has items I've stolen from my movies, like three guns and holsters from 'Serenity'.

I would much rather live under a thoughtful president. Even if it makes it harder to be funny about politics, it makes it more interesting to be funny about politics.
