Well, I did a harmonica instruction tape for Homespun tapes.

To the extent that '60s guys own things, yes... but I don't have the publishing, just like most '60s guys, and that was an error, you know... part ownership in publishing was the kind of era that started a little bit later, when real businessmen started to manage artists.

It might be thematic work. It might be theatrical. I enjoy that kind of work.

My father was invited to play on a television show when I was 17 or 18 that was an early equivalent of educational television, a Sunday afternoon kind of variety art show.

First of all, I think that is true, if you are a musician, particularly on the come, that you do have to end up in one of these musical centers, some way, to be viable, saleable and so on.

The Jug Band was exactly what I wanted to do, and it wasn't my idea.

In other words, musicians know that going back to the Spoonful, what we were doing was not copying.

You have to remember now, I was not being terribly successful at going solo.

Sometimes you really dig a girl, the moment you kiss her, And then you get distracted by her older sister.

Well, I did a harmonica instruction tape for Homespun tapes.

I was wildly out of style when that television theme song suddenly pushed its way onto the Top Ten. It was certainly not the record company trying to make that happen.

I think that my past stands me in good stead in that it does have a certain strength for musicians.

When I left the band I said Look, I am ready to move on. I was interested in playing with some of the other people that I had bee a studio musician with.

Now, I was the Summer Concert guy. I played every Summer concert there was.

But, what did happen is I went to Woodstock as a member of the audience. I did not show up there with a road manager and a couple of guitars. I showed up with a change of clothes and a toothbrush.

Geez, I wish I could tell you I had a whole bunch of '80s hair bands, you know something you really wouldn't expect, but I don't know that the music police would be that surprised, because most of the stuff that I am influenced by is in evidence in the music.

My father was a classical musician and my mother was a writer.

I'm seeing and hearing lots of B to B instruments, and everybody isn't, you know, using them... a lot of these guys are trying to do it on conventional guitars, although that has its own sound, and maybe its okay.

Although when I start a novel I know how it will begin and end, I like to let the people within the story take me on a journey between those points without having a fixed plan.

I'm so proud of this show and I'm really stoked that fans were so enthusiastic about the show so quickly. I mean, I got recognized for 'Arrow' at the airport when I was headed to Vancouver to shoot the second episode. That was kind of crazy.

I'm glad you're doing this story on us and not on the WNBA. We're so much prettier than all the other women in sports.

No matter how far life pushes you down no matter how much you hurt you can always bounce back.

At USC, if you're running back there, and you do gain you over 1,500 yards, people see you as a candidate, but not one of the top ones.

I think the large part of the function of the Internet is it is archival. It's unreliable to the extent that word on the street is unreliable. It's no more unreliable than that. You can find the truth on the street if you work at it. I don't think of the Internet or the virtual as being inherently inferior to the so-called real.

Designers have always shown outlandish and exuberant clothes, but that hasn't always translated to the streets.

When I went to high school in the late 1970s disco was in full swing and anyone who was into it dressed the part. I know I did.

Design is the fundamental soul of a man-made creation that ends up expressing itself in successive outer layers of the product or service. The iMac is not just the color or translucence or the shape of the shell. The essence of the iMac is to be the finest possible consumer computer in which each element plays together.

It is often the tiny steps that define the big moments in our dreams.

People will judge you for no reason. Use the stones they cast to build a solid foundation because once you are strong, you are unstoppable.

I'd like to say to all my fans out there, thanks for the support. And to all my doubters, thank you very much because you guys have also pushed me.

Ultimately, Lloyd Alexander's tales of Prydain were enough to make me come back and visit again and again, and each time, I laughed and I wept. Each time. No exceptions.

When Baby Boomer women started choosing hotel-like birthing centers over hospital delivery rooms, hospitals quickly wised up. Now even rural hospitals offer well-designed labor-delivery-recovery suites.

I'm sure everyone that has ever done an action movie has just drooled over how full of talent Bruce Lee was and how unique he was.

Living on hope is like being hungry all the time.

Tyrants have always some slight shade of virtue; they support the laws before destroying them.

And I'm hoping that over the next 20, 50 years, whatever, the mystique of television and film and all that will diminish somewhat, and people will leave us alone to get on with our jobs.

When I was a newspaper reporter, and later a television writer, I really felt my co-workers became a second family.

Chuck Swindoll is somebody who I've read a lot over the years and have used his curriculum when I've taught Sunday school classes.

There is so much talent out there and not quite as much opportunity.

Art is too serious to be taken seriously.

I like to be able to wear something that is appropriate for wherever the day takes me: to work, on a hike and then out to dinner. I like to take the formality out of the day's schedule and be ready for any off-road detour.

A government can do only what is feasible given the political and economic context.
