Politics are beautiful. They enable a community to live collectively with one another. It's not about stabbing each other in the back it's about enabling people to reach their dreams and pursue happiness.

Well my thoughts about California are kind of mythological. To me as well as being a real place it's a place where people go to find something - to find happiness or to realize their dreams. So it has that kind of quality of heroism and heartache and Australia has that as well.

Talking about food is like talking about your dreams. Everyone has something to say. We all have to eat it's just what we eat which differs. Some people eat for fuel and I feel bad for them.

If dreams are like movies then memories are films about ghosts.

As a child our dreams got scattered all about and all our future prospects got scattered to so many places and we spend our lives trying to find the little pieces that make up our lives and make up the dreams that we had as a child that got blown away in the windstorm.
