Gradually it occurred to me that we spend a great deal of life asleep and that dreams are little narratives little stories. I thought 'Who's choreographing this stuff?'

In the year since we brought things into the open with a clean breath of fresh air at City Hall we have learned about corrupt spending practices and unethical conflicts of interest that waste your money... and keep Dallas from being the great city of our dreams.

I grew up with not a lot of money and I definitely shopped at Goodwill. But even in my most unfortunate state I was really blessed compared to a lot of the rest of the world. I had a really great chance to follow my dreams and have them actually come true.

Dreams can still come true you need a great deal of energy and determination and a little bit of luck.

Have you ever wondered why young people take to music like fish to water? Maybe it's because music is fun. Plan and simple. It opens up their minds to dream great dreams about where they can go and what they can do when they get older.

Here's what I see all across this great city - people working together to make Boston a better place to live and to raise children to grow and pursue dreams.

I am not ridiculing verbal mechanisms dreams or repressions as origins of poetry all three of them and more besides may have a great deal to do with it.

It is great good health to believe as the Hindus do that there are 33 million gods and goddesses in the world. It is great good health to want to understand one's dreams. It is great good health to desire the ambiguous and paradoxical.

You cannot live to please everyone else. You have to edify educate and fulfill your own dreams and destiny and hope that whatever your art is that you're putting out there if it's received great I respect you for receiving it. If it's not received great I respect you for not.

In my lifetime I've discovered a great many incredibly talented individuals. Some have achieved stardom. Simultaneously I've seen many dreams shattered egos destroyed and lives changed forever. The end destination may well be fame and fortune but the road to stardom is littered with broken hearts.
