I have spent over 60 years bent over a guitar and to know that I wrote 70 compositions that masters have recorded that makes me feel so good and full and proud and thankful to the good Lord.

I was very much fascinated with the technology we had that we could edit in the computer our compositions but all the sounds that were available on the market were crap.

I'm probably the least flexible athlete you'll find. When it comes to yoga I can't get in the positions and I can't hold them. You have to be pretty flexible to do it. Once you get certain positions you have to have the core strength to hold those positions. It's a pretty good workout.

Science like art religion commerce warfare and even sleep is based on presuppositions.

But the power of instruction is seldom of much efficacy except in those happy dispositions where it is almost superfluous.

It's easy to dislike the few senior women out there. What if women were half the positions in power? It would be harder to dislike all of them.

As you enter positions of trust and power dream a little before you think.

One of the really positive things about minority government is that there is the necessity to broker policy positions. What happens is you get a hybrid of what a single party might do. And I don't think that is a bad thing.
