1 Age

  • 1. I think I'm a bit less inhibited and not thinking too much before speaking. It's not about being shameful I'm just a bit more unabashedly myself because of this thing and it probably started at age 15. I can be around people and say what I think without fear.
  • 2. I try to write lyrics so that they won't age which sort of leaves you with the big subjects like death and love and sex and violence.
  • 3. The surest sign of age is loneliness.

2 Amazing

  • 1. I basically left Texas with no money. I was making $3.50 working in some mall so I didn't have a lot of cash. I took $1 000 and headed to California. Along the way I stopped in Vegas because I had always wanted to see Caesar's Palace. So I stopped there and won $2 500 on a slot machine! It was amazing.
  • 2. It's the most amazing feeling to hold your child in your arms.
  • 3. Janet Jackson is an icon I've been honored to meet her a few times working with her would be amazing.

3 Anger

  • 1. Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else you are the one who gets burned.
  • 2. Speak when you are angry and you will make the best speech you will ever regret.
  • 3. I do like to write nasty songs. It's a useful weapon to have and it's cathartic as well because I create art out of anger something positive out of something negative.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. On July 18 we will mark the 12th anniversary of the senseless loss of 85 lives in the bombing of the Jewish Cultural Center in Buenos Aires Argentina.
  • 2. I am so excited this year getting to play the 85th Anniversary Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Everyone knows on Thanksgiving morning to get up turn on the TV and watch the parade so to be an actual participant is going to be fun and I'm looking forward to it. I am gonna have to put on my deer hunting gear though to stay warm!
  • 3. The secret of a happy marriage is finding the right person. You know they're right if you love to be with them all the time.

5 Architecture

  • 1. Every time a student walks past a really urgent expressive piece of architecture that belongs to his college it can help reassure him that he does have that mind does have that soul.
  • 2. They can do without architecture who have no olives nor wines in the cellar.
  • 3. Space has always been the spiritual dimension of architecture. It is not the physical statement of the structure so much as what it contains that moves us.
