It's really kind of hard to be a suburb of nothing. If you don't have a downtown, you really don't have anything. It's hard to build a community around parking lots and subdivisions.

In the arithmetic of love, one plus one equals everything, and two minus one equals nothing.

I think a lot of contemplation happens in bathtubs. It does for me. Nothing like a hot bath to ease the tension and think about what's going to happen next.

Nothing fails like success; nothing is so defeated as yesterday's triumphant Cause.

A mistake made by many people with great convictions is that they will let nothing stand in the way of their views, not even kindness.

Sometimes power is all a person has, so they will protect it even unto their own destruction, for without power they have nothing.

Something is better than nothing. Doin' anything for a man, there's investments involved, there's time and production. It's better to give him ten bucks and get a record out than to never record the cat.

Commit yourself to quality from day one... it's better to do nothing at all than to do something badly.
