A lifetime of training for just ten seconds.

Most people never run far enough on their first wind to find out they've got a second.

I did not imagine that the second half of my life would be spent on efforts to avert a mortal danger to humanity created by science.

Many writers upon the science of political economy have declared that it is the duty of a nation first to encourage the creation of wealth and second to direct and control its distribution. All such theories are delusive.

A second reason why science cannot replace judgement is the behavior of financial markets.

'Eyes Wide Open' took shape from two real life events straight from my own past. One was the sad suicide of my young nephew a troubled kid who was found at the bottom of a landmark cliff in central California. The second was a chance encounter forty years ago with none other than ahem Charles Manson!

This was an important part of my life. But it was also sad that we didn't play there cause we had such alot of fans that were waiting for us and Brazilians are great people. It's now my second home.

'The Taxi Ride ' from my second album is one people want to hear a lot. I'm consciously trying to walk on the sunny side of the street to really lift myself into a place of greater positivity and that's a sad song.

In the movies Bette Davis lights two cigarettes and hands the second one to James Cagney. It was just so glamorous and romantic.

So many women today have become so focused on their children they've developed these romantic entanglements with their children's lives and the husbands are secondary. They're left out. And the romantic focus is on the children.
