I needed to step away from music because the truth was I couldn't be the dad I wanted to be to my kids. My truth was that I could not reconcile the two worlds - the entertainment world and being the dad I wanted to be in the present. You can't substitute time you just can't.

Dad was just an emotional wreck. He was drinking a lot of the time he was smoking a lot of pot. And because he takes certain medications the drinking was making him... you know he wasn't even present really.

It is courage courage courage that raises the blood of life to crimson splendor. Live bravely and present a brave front to adversity.

There's a power in women being women. There's a role for men but we don't have to be men because we're women. I think that representing that on television is a cool thing.

I represent the kids who come from nothing but who understand it all and love it all. That's what I represent - those are the cool kids you know the kids of tomorrow because who would've known that I'd be who I am today? We are the kids of tomorrow.

All I know about thermal pollution is that if we continue our present rate of growth in electrical energy consumption it will simply take by the year 2000 all our freshwater streams to cool the generators and reactors.

An orange on the table your dress on the rug and you in my bed sweet present of the present cool of night warmth of my life.

Well the big products in electronics in the '50s were radio and television. The first big computers were just beginning to come in and represented the most logical market for us to work in.

As soon as you judge communication a little more rigorously there is a possibility that the message will not be democratized. I have to say what I believe to be right. I have to spread out the statement among all the means of expression available to us at present.

Without a possibility of change in meanings human communication could not perform its present functions.
