It's hard to say what I want my legacy to be when I'm long gone. You've got to realize that any lady on a soap is devoting her life to it, 24/7. I'm going to insult a whole industry here, but it seems like TV is for people who can't do film. I'm not talking about actresses; I'm talking about lighting people. Lighting on TV is just so... it's sinful, it really is. When you talk about rap you have to understand that rap is part of the Hip-Hop culture. I believe in working in a bipartisan manner. This depravation of our nature is nothing else but the blotting out of God's image in us. Religion is organized to satisfy and guide the soul - politics does the same thing for the body. I have had success throughout the years. Some of the hard rock bands today don't have the history that I have. I have a picture of myself in my mind as I walk around every day, until I look in the mirror-and then I'm stunned. The desert has its holiness of silence, the crowd its holiness of conversation. He that displays too often his wife and his wallet is in danger of having both of them borrowed. I love to be in front of big galleries. The thing I hate most in acting is asking permission to do things. What you really want to do is say, 'This is my need; this is what's going to get me further; this is what's going to be alive. I don't ever say, 'Do you mind if...?' I just come in and do it. We can no more do without spirituality than we can do without food, shelter, or clothing. Bands today have to learn their craft by putting the hard work in that we did when we were young performers. On Career Day in high school, you don't walk around looking for the cartoon guy. When I see something I like, that's all that counts. What they use, how they get there, I never bother them. The opposition is indispensable. A good statesman, like any other sensible human being, always learns more from his opposition than from his fervent supporters. Unlike most other children, - especially unlike those of to-day - who are eager to become men and women as speedily as possible, I had a terror of growing up, which became more and more accentuated as I grew older. For imagination sets the goal picture which our automatic mechanism works on. We act, or fail to act, not because of will, as is so commonly believed, but because of imagination. Jim wanted to be known as a poet, first and foremost. Religion is no more possible without prayer than poetry without language, or music without atmosphere. Evolutionary cosmology formulates theories in which a universe is capable of giving rise to and generating future universes out of itself, within black holes or whatever. The good is the beautiful. Hope is like the sun, which, as we journey toward it, casts the shadow of our burden behind us. The people who were against the Vietnam War thought I was attacking the Army. The guys in the Army thought I was representing their experiences. I was on both sides, and I survived. If you seek Hamilton's monument, look around. You are living in it. We honor Jefferson, but live in Hamilton's country, a mighty industrial nation with a strong central government. I listen to Steely Dan. I really like Steely Dan.
