One of my pet peeves is that sometimes the talents of my band get overlooked because, and it was the same problem that Frank Zappa had, with a lot of groups that use humor, people don't realize there's a lot of craft behind the comedy.
I am a part of all that I have met.
If I had a flower for every time I thought of you... I could walk through my garden forever.

1Social justice cannot be attained by violence. Violence kills what it intends to create.
In youth, the days are short and the years are long. In old age, the years are short and days long.
Time travel is a fantasy we all have. The 'Back to the Future' series really exploits that wish.
The role of anxiety in the development of human personality is central, and it is intricate beyond our understanding.
My advice to people today is as follows: if you take the game of life seriously, if you take your nervous system seriously, if you take your sense organs seriously, if you take the energy process seriously, you must turn on, tune in, and drop out.
In the information age, you don't teach philosophy as they did after feudalism. You perform it. If Aristotle were alive today he'd have a talk show.
Turn on, Tune in, Drop out.
Everything else is irrelevant after the bliss of giving a perfect shot.
I like Dubai because of the sheer scale on which the city is built. It is completely futuristic but with a warm, old-world ethos.
It was 1976, and I was acting off-Broadway with a pair of Canadians: Victor Garber and Gale Garnett. The play was called 'Cracks,' and Martin Sherman, the man who wrote it, went on a few years later to have a giant hit with 'Bent.' But not this time around. Opening night was a disaster.
Every role I get is always a challenge. I can read a script and say, 'Oh, I can do that!' and then when I start working on it, I suddenly realize that I had no idea what I was getting into. Then I have to really work hard!
When our systematic knowledge of human expressive behavior is more advanced, it will be possible to study the literary and historical documents of the past and to determine the expressed and implied views of personality that determined the behavior of our ancestors.
A holiday is an opportunity to journey within. It is also a chance to chill, to relax. It is when I switch on my rest mode.
We were all such odd characters, even though we were a really functional family, in a way, as eccentric and crazy as we were. And it was such a wonderful feeling amongst us of being a family almost. We were "The Addams Family!"
Most of the times, I am on a strict diet for my characters, but once in a while, I love indulging in a bucket full of ice cream.
There's something overwhelming about being in raw nature. It's got an aura about it is that is really kind of majestic and spiritual.
I'm not upset that you lied to me, I'm upset that from now on I can't believe you.
Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.
Robert A. Heinlein - Stranger in a Strange Land
2I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living.
Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.
Jerusalem will never be divided, and will remain the capital of the State of Israel, the capital of the Jewish people, for ever and ever.
Benjamin Netanyahu - May 2015
Some will criticize me no matter what I do.
Curiosity about life in all of its aspects, I think, is still the secret of great creative people.
When you reach for the stars you may not quite get one, but you won't come up with a handful of mud either.
Peace is purchased from strength. It's not purchased from weakness or unilateral retreats.
Well, this is an unfortunate part of the UN institution. It's the - the theater of the absurd. It doesn't only cast Israel as the villain; it often casts real villains in leading roles: Gadhafi's Libya chaired the UN Commission on Human Rights; Saddam's Iraq headed the UN Committee on Disarmament.
In my office in Jerusalem, there's an ancient seal. It's a signet ring of a Jewish official from the time of the Bible. The seal was found right next to the Western Wall, and it dates back 2,700 years, to the time of King Hezekiah. Now, there's a name of the Jewish official inscribed on the ring in Hebrew. His name was Netanyahu.
The secret of all effective advertising is not the creation of new and tricky words and pictures, but one of putting familiar words and pictures into new relationships.
Good advertising does not just circulate information. It penetrates the public mind with desires and belief.
Like a plant that starts up in showers and sunshine and does not know which has best helped it to grow, it is difficult to say whether the hard things or the pleasant things did me the most good.
Make it simple. Make it memorable. Make it inviting to look at. Make it fun to read.
The purpose of the Jewish state is to secure the Jewish future. That is why Israel must always have the ability to defend itself, against any threat.
I remember how beautiful the Merrimac looked to me in childhood, the first true river I ever knew; it opened upon my sight and wound its way through my heart like a dream realized; its harebells, its rocks, and its rapids, are far more fixed in my memory than anything about the sea.
No one can feel more gratefully the charm of noble scenery, or the refreshment of escape into the unspoiled solitudes of nature, than the laborer at some close in-door employment.
