But for me I thought you made a record you got on a bus went out and played your shows and made a lot of money. That was the way it was supposed to go down. But there's a lot more to it than that. There are a lot of early mornings late nights a lot of traveling a lot of being away from home being away from your family.

The pictures of my family were designed to be on a family wall they were supposed to be together. It was supposed to copy my mother's wall in her house.

I can't tell you how scary it can be walking onto a movie and suddenly joining this family it's like going to somebody else's Christmas dinner everyone knows everyone and you're there and you're not quite sure what you're supposed to be doing.

A family is a unit composed not only of children but of men women an occasional animal and the common cold.

I have now disposed of all my property to my family. There is one thing more I wish I could give them and that is the Christian religion.

So many of my friends are still trying to get record deals and I've had one for 10 years now where my only goal is to make the best music I can make. I've been very lucky. I have great faith that I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be and whatever happens is going to be absolutely right for me.

Science has sometimes been said to be opposed to faith and inconsistent with it. But all science in fact rests on a basis of faith for it assumes the permanence and uniformity of natural laws - a thing which can never be demonstrated.

Purity is not imposed upon us as though it were a kind of punishment it is one of those mysterious but obvious conditions of that supernatural knowledge of ourselves in the Divine which we speak of as faith. Impurity does not destroy this knowledge it slays our need for it.

I have always been the kid who's asked 'Why?' In my faith you're just supposed to have faith. But I was always like 'why?'

At least the fundamentalists haven't tried to dilute their message. Their faith is exposed for what it is for all to see.

If children understand that beliefs should be substantiated with evidence as opposed to tradition authority revelation or faith they will automatically work out for themselves that they are atheists.

Mr. Gonzales' failure to respond to questions legitimately posed to him by the Senate raises grave doubts in my mind as to his fitness to serve the people of the United States as their Attorney General.

Is the proposed operation likely to succeed? What might the consequences of failure? Is it in the realm of practicability in terms of material and supplies?

Their lives have been largely defined by failure and you would think the prospect of marriage which is supposed to be bountiful and hopeful it's just really another kind of tangential thing in his life.

As might be supposed my parents were quite poor but we somehow never seemed to lack anything we needed and I never saw a trace of discontent or a failure in cheerfulness over their lot in life as indeed over anything.

I'm not scared of anything in particular but I am motivated by a fear of failure as opposed to a need to succeed.

The exposed nature of life in the public square affects leaders' attitudes toward risk - and failure.
