Let's give some substance to patriotism. It may take a generation.

That's why this generation is the least racist generation ever. You see it all the time. Go to any club. People are intermingling hanging out having fun enjoying the same music. Hip-hop is not just in the Bronx anymore. It's worldwide. Everywhere you go people are listening to hip-hop and partying together. Hip-hop has done that.

The '60s was one of the first times the power of music was used by a generation to bind them together.

Music Rock and Roll music especially is such a generational thing. Each generation must have their own music I had my own in my generation you have yours everyone I know has their own generation.

Nothing separates the generations more than music. By the time a child is eight or nine he has developed a passion for his own music that is even stronger than his passions for procrastination and weird clothes.

Times were changing. Clothes were changing. Morals were changing. We went from romantic loves songs like I used to do to rock 'n roll. Now that has changed to rap. So there's always a new generation with new music.

In the Rodgers and Hammerstein generation popular hits came out of shows and movies.

We have a new generation of very rich people who want to do more with their money than buy a lot of expensive toys. They want to live meaningful lives.

My generation will actually be the first generation that is tamer than the one that came before it and it will probably be poorer less fun and less money.

I always wanted to be a young mom but generations of women have worked so hard so we can have a career and wait to have children. So I say carpe diem - take advantage of that.
