I warn people, your 40s will require massive amounts of humor and humility.
Capitalism does what it does and money doesn’t belong to anybody. It just stays in someone’s wallet for a while, then it goes somewhere else. It always goes somewhere and it is always about to go somewhere.
Well, there’s Katrina, but you can go through lots of Kurdistan and it looks like Katrina was just there but there’s people living in it.
We occupy the planet with a vengeance. We seek to dominate it.
I think Americans suffer for their lack of travel, awareness of the world. It has horribly warped our sense of place in the scheme of things.
I think we are in fact, losing free speech. We don’t seem to care though. Many of us don’t seem to notice. We will have to do a lot of work to bring back the American way to America.
When you’re little and you don’t have much dough, you have to innovate. You have to be sharp.
I was never told to “Get up, get out there, get a job.” It was never a thing either parent ever said I had to do. It was what I wanted to do. I think I was very interested in being away from them as much as possible. Employment was great for that.
My acting range is incredibly limited and narrow, but I’m a good heavy. I’m a good authoritarian figure; I don’t know why. “Can you be a cop?” Sure. “Can you be a Marine?” Absolutely. Well, at least in a movie.
All I have is me. Over-worked, under-appreciated, middle-aged, and shriveled up.
I can say that American men and women in the Military are damn impressive.
To justify being listened to, I try to be as well informed as I can. Hence, the travel. Reading is good too. Reading gets you part way there, and I do read pretty voraciously for a guy who’s trying to write so much.
Bands have always written songs against what they see as wrong. Ronald Reagan really made for a lot of songs.
I will take the acting work when I can get it. I am not really an actor, that’s always apparent but it’s work and I’ll take it and am always glad for it.
I have no desire to write anything for screen. That’s a great talent.
You never have to listen to a famous person, it’s an elective.
I like the sound of my voice, doesn’t mean it’s any good but I like it. The joke is that “all good singers like the sound of their own voice” so we’ll go with that.
I think Americans really need to start thinking globally. As resources become more dear, we will be pulled closer to the rest of the world anyway.
I spend a lot of time alone so I get a lot done. I don’t do much else but work, check things out.
I think as resources become more dear, we really need to consider population.
I would never be innovative enough to “blaze my own trail,” I’m just trying to be interesting. So I don’t look to anyone else as far as inspiration.
