Everyone goes through the ups and downs of living - fretting about the future, worrying about what happened. Music teaches us how to be in the moment.
Getting our military back on stable footing won't happen overnight. We must start this process now, since future engagements are likely and allies are scarce.
In the end, we are part of this region, and we are affected by its developments. What we may do or not do in the future depends on the nature of what happens here in the region.
You no longer have much in the way of knowing what to do in a big, epic novel about the future, because nobody knows what the hell is going to happen.
While data can only tell you what has happened in the past, it can in some ways give you a sense of what might be of interest to an audience in the future.
We who came here saw what was happening. This was far more than a war in a faraway place. This was a moral imperative, a terrible vision of the future.
I didn't plan to be the rude middle-class comedian. You write a certain type of joke that you find funny, and mine happen to be often rude. Yes, it's juvenile, but that's me.
If the worst that happens is that I wake up and see a picture of myself and a headline saying, 'He wasn't very funny last night', then I've got nothing to complain about.
I happen to be a Christian, but I know that there is one God. People worshipping goodness and love and kindness and truth are worshipping the same God.
My mom used to tell me when I was little, 'When it rains, it's God's manifestation - a big day's waiting to happen.'
Security... it's simply the recognition that changes will take place and the knowledge that you're willing to deal with whatever happens.
Most scientific revelations happened after the pursuit of knowledge quit being secret and hermetic.
Knowledge, may it be said, is higher than magic and is more to be sought. It is quite possible to see what is happening and yet not know what is forward, for while seeing is believing, it does not follow that either seeing or believing is knowing.
Leadership is something you earn, something you're chosen for. You can't come in yelling, 'I'm your leader!' If it happens, it's because the other guys respect you.
In a very real way, ownership is the essence of leadership. When you are 'ridiculously in charge,' then you own whatever happens in a company, school, et cetera.
Because we do not know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. And yet everything happens only a certain number of times. And a very small number really.
Life is easy when you're hot. But what happens when the ball bounces the other way? You just keep getting back up and climbing up.
Whatever you want to do with your life, you really got to want it. And if you want it, and you work hard, it will happen.
Music's always been a big part of my life, but it kind of all happened in one big ball of storytelling rather than splitting acting and singing apart.
In all the areas within which the spiritual life of humanity is at work, the historical epoch wherein fate has placed us is an epoch of stupendous happenings.
You know, I auditioned for 'Titanic.' Sometimes I muse on what would have happened. That would have been such a different life.
