You can't be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline. It helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer.

Drugs will turn you into your parents.

Just because somebody hears something you say, or reads something that you write, doesn't mean you've reached them.

You don't think I work 14 hours a day right now?! I mean, I still put in the hours, I still do the work.

The creation and destruction of harmonic and 'statistical' tensions is essential to the maintenance of compositional drama. Any composition (or improvisation) which remains consonant and 'regular' throughout is, for me, equivalent to watching a movie with only 'good guys' in it, or eating cottage cheese.

Okay, it was the Tree of Knowledge. You eat this apple you're going to be as smart as God. We can't have that.
Frank Zappa

I believe that people have a right to decide their own destinies people own themselves. I also believe that, in a democracy, government exists because (and only so long as) individual citizens give it a temporary license to exist, in exchange for a promise that it will behave itself. In a democracy, you own the government. It doesn't own you.
