I gave the couple a hint of a design that would work great with the bones of their home. They weren't ready for it, and they embarrassed themselves and that's too bad.
Everything that happens to me in my life, be it good or bad, it's all education, and it's important for that to become part of what you do. It all feeds the beast.
Every single major push in education has made it worse and right now it's really bad because everything we've done is de-humanizing education. It's destroying the possibility of the teacher and the student having a warm, friendly, intellectual relati...
Throughout life people will make you mad, disrespect you and treat you bad. Let God deal with the things they do, cause hate in your heart will consume you too.

I'm trying to take all the media attention with a grain of salt. It is nice, but you are never as great as people say you are. And you're never as bad as others say you are.

If you've got a good song, it's easy to play. But you can't make a bad song sound good no matter who you have to play on it.

I'm a believer in what your record is. I am what my record is - some of it good, some of it bad, some of it hard to tell.
