If I look confused its because Im thinking.

I can't tell you how hard I worked the last year. In fact, I worked so hard that I know I can't maintain that same work level in 2001, so I've got to quit something.

I'd like to point out to people the divine in a musical language that transcends words. I want to speak to their souls.

My dad used to give me a lot of spankings. Anything I did wrong, he was on me. I was raised by a strict disciplinarian. He kind of laid down the law.

I repeat... that all power is a trust; that we are accountable for its exercise; that from the people and for the people all springs, and all must exist.

Youll be much more successful if you follow your dreams and follow your passions.

Technically, I'm a knight. My family goes back a thousand years in the Naples area. We're a titled, noble people.
