Cricket makes no sense to me. I find it beautiful to watch and I like that they break for tea. That is very cool but I don't understand. My friends from The Clash tried to explain it years and years ago but I didn't understand what they were talking about.

Over the eons I've been a fan of and sucker for each latest automated system to 'simplify' and 'bring order to' my life. Very early on this led me to the beautiful-and-doomed Lotus Agenda for my DOS computers and Actioneer for the early Palm.

You know Quincy Jones was a great mentor but he was a man in a man's world. Fortunately he's a very sensitive man and a beautiful human being and even though he was 14 or 15 years older than me he's a capable human being and has great communication skills.

Truthful words are not beautiful beautiful words are not truthful. Good words are not persuasive persuasive words are not good.

When he was born I looked at my little boy and felt an unconditional love I never knew was inside me. As he grew and I watched him stagger about squeak his first words and turn into a beautiful little boy that feeling did not change.

I am not trying to change the world. I am just offering my gift that God gave me and if somebody is moved by it that's beautiful.

In times of change learners inherit the earth while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists.

My health is wonderful. I work out. I'm working. Playing music. I have a beautiful wife a nice home a nice car I got money in the bank. I got three beautiful dogs that love me. Like I said I'm blessed. I survived.

I used to have this Mercedes a dark blue 450SLC which was the most beautiful car. I'd like to have another unusual beautiful car.

I'm addicted to laughing. I go to see a lot of comedy shows. I'm addicted to playing really loud and obnoxious rock music in my car. I'm addicted to beautiful clothes and shoes. I just love gorgeous stuff and work hard to acquire pretty things shiny things. I'm addicted to shiny things!

But I also like to shower my parents with presents. I bought them a beautiful car and a house.

A lot of the songs start with an image. I was sitting there playing the guitar and I pictured this old dirty green car with the window rolled down in the hot hot hot Texas heat and this beautiful woman I knew when I was a kid sitting behind the wheel looking out at me.

I like structure - like driving: go past the school on the street stay on the right side no hitting the car go in right you'll see a big church stop and take a left and you'll have it. By doing this I'm giving a structure of life a path of light and showing what happens between me and me which is something very beautiful.

People who have car collections - I never understood that. I always thought that was unnecessary. It's not beautiful it's not creative. It's just showing how much money you've got.

There was a time in my life when I thought I had everything - millions of dollars mansions cars nice clothes beautiful women and every other materialistic thing you can imagine. Now I struggle for peace.

I'm not a driven businessman but a driven artist. I never think about money. Beautiful things make money.

Mattresses! Beautiful! Let's go buy a couple of mattresses. Give 'em to people for their birthday.
