My one aim was to do a thing well and to excel if possible.

My heart is torn in tiny pieces scattered throughout the years. I exist in several places because you carry those pieces with you, wherever you go, whoever you choose to be, I’ll be beside you in one form or another.

Music is another language, one so close to actual thought, strung together, sometimes staccato, flowing, and sometimes even nonsensical or harsh to the ears. It’s truth in an otherwise dishonest world.

It's a hidden jewel. Nobody fishes it.

The last fish I caught was a 61/2-pounder that I caught 15 minutes before I had to weigh in.

It's something that I've worked for for 10 years. Every time you go out you want to win and you try to win. But it doesn't always work out. When it happens, it really is a special deal.
