By myself I am not large enough to call the whole man into activity; I want other lights than my own to show all his facets.
Sometimes I feel like I finish a song, and there's another song that I have to write in response to that song. Each is like its own separate feeling, its own separate universe.
It is the '94 race which in many ways allowed Ted Kennedy to become his own man rather than the 'third brother.' He had to reach down and win it on his own.
I've always felt happy in my own company. It's only when I get around other people that things get sticky.
I worked with my parents on the stage in production numbers since I was 4, but I never really gave much thought to being a performer on my own until I was 12 or 13.

I don't have children of my own so I can't say I know the plight of being a parent, but I can kinda understand some of the complexities of it.
Knowing that my ancestry had all been quite wealthy and owned their own businesses probably left me with the ambition to replicate what they'd done.
Life is about creating your own world, your own joy. Life is not about living in someone else's world or playing with someone else's toy.
This is my simple religion. No need for temples. No need for complicated philosophy. Your own mind, your own heart is the temple. Your philosophy is simple kindness.
I've wanted to own a DeLorean since I was 10 years old, but it always seemed like a silly daydream. Like owning the 'A-Team' van or something.
