It is a lot cheaper to spend eight hours in a rehearsal hall than in a recording studio.

We recorded several of Kenny's songs in the living room of my home.

I realized how quickly you could eat up a lot of time and money if you weren't prepared.

When Kenny first came to me, I think he was thinking of making a nice little folk record, but in my opinion, folk music had come to an end and I felt he needed to go to the next step, the next generation.

At that time, I was signed to Columbia Records as an Independent Producer. I spent many weeks forming, auditioning, rehearsing and recording demos for Kenny, who was finally signed to Columbia Records.

My experience with Buffalo Springfield was that they did not rehearse.

This election isn't about Barack Obama or Mitt Romney. It's about you. The other guys write $10 million checks and make $10,000 bets. But we've bet this campaign on you.

We need each and every one of you to commit to vote for Barack Obama today!

We're doing exactly what the Republicans don't want: getting more people involved in our democracy. Giving more Americans a voice in their future.

The conversation between your fingers and someone elses skin. This is the most important discussion you can ever have.

If they don’t like you for being yourself, be yourself even more.

I mean, I can actually say goodbye to the game of golf, never hit another golf shot the rest of my life and I'd be happy because I can get back in life without any rotation.

Every rustic who delivers in the village alehouse his slow, infrequent sentences, may help to kill or keep alive the fatal superstitions which clog his race.

I know why I am here and my only real focused goal is to live each day to the fullest and to try and honor God and be an encouragement to others. What the future holds is firmly in God's hands, and I am very happy about that!

I saw six men kicking and punching the mother-in-law. My neighbour said 'Are you going to help?' I said 'No, six should be enough.'

I always think any circumstances can be funny. Not that I'm irresponsible, but when things go wrong, I always come up with a joke or think of something funny to say.

Any outlaw regime that has ties to terrorist groups or seeks to possess weapons of mass destruction is a grave danger to the civilised world and will be confronted.

I am conversational - I just like to engage and talk about things.

Individual courage is the only interesting thing in life.

Envy is more irreconcilable than hatred.

Don't look for an unshakable rock to stand on; there ain't any! Rather, learn how to stand still on a shaking rock!

In the New Year, may your right hand always be stretched out in friendship, but never in want.

For mine, the villains of the piece were always important. In a traditional sense, that's always an important role.

When I did get home this last time, we had all these plans to go out. And then we hardly stepped outside because the time together seemed too precious.

In L.A., nobody is talking about football. No television stations. You see it nowhere.

I've always seen TV as... it didn't occupy the same rarefied space as literature, but it's art you can use day to day. I've never been hung up on where it figures in the hierarchy of learning.

Let's drive the message home: we need health insurance reform, we need a strong public option, and we won't settle for less.

If we don't build a company as influential as Google or Facebook, then we failed. I'm, like, perpetually stressed, honestly.

What I think is important about essayists - about the essay, as opposed to a lot of personal writing that kind of finds its way into public view - is that the material really has to be presented in a processed way.

If you woke up each morning, and immediately dwelt on your ills, what sort of a day could you look forward to?

I have always been regretting that I was not as wise as the day I was born.

Choose a business partner the way you choose a tennis partner. Select someone whos strong where you are weak.

It seems to be a law of design that for every advantage introduced through redesign, there is an accompanying unintended disadvantage.
