A cat, I am told, has nine lives. If that is true, I know how a cat feels.

If the executioner goes, my package will never be made public. If he doesn't go, it will be made public exactly fifty years from the day the bill for a moratorium on capital punishment is defeated.

How, possibly, could the police have made the 'mistake' of charging the wrong man with the notorious Red Light Bandit crimes? That also is something that is fully revealed in the Pandora's Box of facts I have prepared.

Further, a document names and identifies the actual Red Light Bandits (plural), because in fact there are two.

My soul is not for sale.

The price I have personally paid for these extra Sisyphean years has been prohibitive.

When the good lord calls you home, the government ought not come get your home.

The pitcher has to find out if the hitter is timid, and if he is timid, he has to remind the hitter he's timid.

I have a lot of guy-like quintessential relationship qualities that I have had to work on.

As with all my work, whether it's a leaf on a rock or ice on a rock, I'm trying to get beneath the surface appearance of things. Working the surface of a stone is an attempt to understand the internal energy of the stone.

I am an old scholar, better-looking now than when I was young. That's what sitting on your ass does to your face.

When I make music, it's a very visual thing. Conjures up a lot of images.

I like the privacy of my life and I protect it quite vigilantly.

Playing live if the thing I love doing best.

The world is full of challenges, but with those come opportunity, and I'm an opportunist.

I guess you could say I want to become like Martha Stewart - just a sexier version!

Just because you have chemistry with someone doesn't mean you're naturally going to be the best for each other. You have make choices and prioritize.

Rock 'n' roll music is what gets me off.

If you want to bring an end to long-standing conflict, you have to be prepared to compromise.

I think I lie way too much to even know what I've lied about.

I was one of five very clever kids, the other kids were cleverer than I was and still are and are very achieving. The girls were always first at everything and I was always 101st!

Good intentions never change anything. They only become a deeper and deeper rut.

I love being able to perform in front of people. I like potentially making a difference in somebody's day or somebody's life.
