It all starts from the lyric with me. If I work really hard on the lyric and get it right, then it will tell me whatever else to do, where to go.
Scott Walker
You hear some people talk about border security and a wall and all that. To me, I don't know that you need any of that if you had a better, saner way to let people into the country in the first place.
Scott Walker
My kids were targeted on Facebook by protesters.
Scott Walker
The harder part of doing a real story is that there are real people and you have a responsibility to not just go crazy with their lives and have them do things which are not their character, that they then have to live with.
Scott Walker

Scott Walker
Governors should be defined not just by what they do and say, but who they surround themselves with.
