A good review from the critics is just another stay of execution.

Early in my career, I struggled with consistency, but I couldnt get more consistent than this year.

If Thomas Jefferson had heard us, he probably would have said, 'We shouldn't have free speech.'

They don't mean anything to me. Until I win one.

I begged them to please make me something that wouldn't ride up my, well, you know. And they all told me that they used all the rubber for the tanks.

I believe that the people, instead of pretty lies, should be told the truth, no matter how ugly it may be. What can we do, destiny hasnt been kind to us, but, with the help of God, we will prevail.

Where did the world come from? The question has an answer, even though I cannot get to it. It is a good question. It is like a crime that has not been solved. There is an answer, even if police do not know it.
