Home life's great man. The kids are great happy and healthy. I've reached this sort of wonderful precipice.

I feel very blessed to have two wonderful healthy children who keep me completely grounded sane and throw up on my shoes just before I go to an awards show just so I know to keep it real.

I mean you always want everybody to pat you on the back and tell you you're wonderful every time you do something I think that's human nature.

Nothing is too wonderful to be true if it be consistent with the laws of nature.

There will be I think an attempt to grasp again the surprise and accidents of nature and a more intimate and sympathetic study of its moods together with a renewed wonder and humility on the part of such as are still capable of these basic reactions.

There is an electric fire in human nature tending to purify - so that among these human creatures there is continually some birth of new heroism. The pity is that we must wonder at it as we should at finding a pearl in rubbish.

Life has loveliness to sell all beautiful and splendid things blue waves whitened on a cliff soaring fire that sways and sings and children's faces looking up holding wonder like a cup.

Yosemite Valley to me is always a sunrise a glitter of green and golden wonder in a vast edifice of stone and space.

The world is mud-luscious and puddle-wonderful.

I'm just lucky because my kids are grown-up - I love them very proud of them and we are in close contact as big-time friends but they don't need me that much now and I can actually enjoy this wonderful world of music.
