If all I'm remembered for is being a good basketball player, then I've done a bad job with the rest of my life.
I was being foolish. An atheist can't stand behind their assertion that God doesn't exist. The stupidest thing I ever could have done was to reject His Truth.
That is basically me, and although I have done many things in my life - conducting, playing piano, and so on - what is fundamental is my being a composer.
A lot of scientists hate writing. Most scientists love being in the lab and doing the work and when the work is done, they are finished.
I am never writing a breakup record again, by the way. I'm done with being a bitter witch.
