I worked on scores. I went to the musical library in Berlin which is very famous. I discovered that we had scores of Beethoven printed scores of Beethoven that are full of mistakes. Not the wrong or false notes but the wrong dynamic understandable things.

Berry Gordy turned his house into a studio and discovered over 30 acts in the city. And we're famous all over the world.

It took me fifteen years to discover I had no talent for writing but I couldn't give it up because by that time I was too famous.

From very early on in my childhood - four five years old - I felt alien to the human race. I felt very comfortable with thinking I was from another planet because I felt disconnected - I was very tall and skinny and I didn't look like anybody else I didn't even look like any member of my family.

For more than 200 years materialists have promised that science will eventually explain everything in terms of physics and chemistry. Believers are sustained by the faith that scientific discoveries will justify their beliefs.

That bedrock faith that I could write was what blinded me to attempts to discourage me.

The belief that there are other life forms in the universe is a matter of faith. There is not a single shred of evidence for any other life forms and in forty years of searching none has been discovered. There is absolutely no evidentiary reason to maintain this belief.

Our country's political discourse and debate are enriched by discussions of the political implications of our faith traditions whether they are taking place in our communities at our dinner tables or in our places of worship.

I have this embedded faith in the process through which films of a certain type get discovered on longer timelines.

The measure of a man is not how great his faith is but how great his love is. We must not let government programs disconnect our souls from each other.
