Outside of being home with my family I prefer a crowd.

Failure to properly control our borders costs citizens in many ways: schools become overcrowded medical resources are stretched too thin other government services are overtaxed and taxes increase further.

In a crowded marketplace fitting in is a failure. In a busy marketplace not standing out is the same as being invisible.

And I thought that was the best way for me to participate because standing in the crowd and listening is a fantastic education but it's not my nature. I need to be involved. So I did that instead.

I think what every skater dreams of is not only skating the best program they can possibly skate but y'know having the crowd roar at the end and it was just so loud I couldn't even hear my music.

When nearly a third of our high school students do not graduate on time with their peers we have work to do. We must design our middle and high schools so that no student gets lost in the crowd and disconnected from his or her own potential.

The wisdom of crowds works when the crowd is choosing the price of an ox when there's a single numeric average. But if it's a design or something that matters the decision is made by committee and that's crap. You want people and groups who are able to think thoughts before they share.

I think I'm much too earnest to be as cool as 'Boyd Crowder'.

For a long time the people at my shows were sort of the Pantera-tattoo trucker guys really cool dudes but I don't know what happened to them. That's the crowd that I like the ones that don't get so offended just to be offended.

There's a lot of gimmick infringement out there but that's cool. It's a compliment. But it all started right when I first came into the Garden. I came down to 'Eye of the Tiger' and when I hit the ring with the Sheik I just put my hand up to my ear by accident and the crowd got louder. I was like 'Oh that works.'
