No wonder the film industry started in the desert in California where like all desert dwellers they dream their buildings rather than design them.

I always consider the settlement of America with reverence and wonder as the opening of a grand scene and design in providence for the illumination of the ignorant and the emancipation of the slavish part of mankind all over the earth.

You can design and create and build the most wonderful place in the world. But it takes people to make the dream a reality.

But then I'm one of those guys that is still a bit afraid of the telephone its implications for conversation. I still wonder if the jukebox might be the death of live music.

I get scared to death when I see people who say they've found Jesus Christ and they're out there and I wonder who's teaching them? Who's mentoring them?

Coming through the fire and through the storm of life with a strong man my fiance Ashanti whom I've been dating for eight months and two wonderful children beside me I'm just so happy that I have been able to maintain my integrity and get to where I am today with the right energy around me.

I look at my little girl and I wonder what she's going to be and what she's going to do and what is it that leads girls certain directions in life. I think a lot of that goes back to what kind of father they had and so it makes me want to be the best dad I can possibly be.

I went and took golf lessons so Dad would let me play with him. I was just terrible... but I was able to have a wonderful time just walking around with Dad. I can see the real pleasure of that game.

I can't remember a major league game where I could make eye contact with my dad. I kept wondering if he was going to yell at me for hanging a pitch or something.

When it came to the stylish and graceful art of ballroom dancing my dad was a king of the clubs a prowling tiger and a wonderfully natural mover.
