To act is to be committed, and to be committed is to be in danger. The philosophy of one century is the common sense of the next. The ballot box is the surest arbiter of disputes among free men. I think that as is true in this industry, everything gets blown out of proportion because it's more fun for people to read about. It's even more fun to read about if the stories get wilder and wilder. I must not say what I truly think, or you will tell me I flatter you-but I can only speak what I feel-and very often I cannot even do that when the feeling is very deep. None of the great discoveries was made by a 'specialist' or a 'researcher'. I think we've got a lot players in the squad who are more suited to European football at the moment. Whereas there's a wealth of galleries in Australia, everyone's got a gallery in Australia or wants your work. Because the art scene is smaller in Indonesia, there's not so much competition. You will live your life secure in that you are no longer manipulated by what other people want you to do and be, but are directed by your own inner desires. You can't plan for the future, because some guy's going to land in a spaceship with three heads and a big beak and take over everything. The sun has not yet set for all time. It's a really unfair world because life is, where I am; all day long we listen to American music. So I don't see why the radios in the U.S. cannot even put aside one hour a day just to play music that is not American. The next evolutionary step is into the screen. Do everything yourself. When we go to war I will not ask the White Racist next to me what is he Christian or Atheist? I will only expect him or her to kill the enemy as I will.

If I didn't have a recruiting engagement, I was going to be here. I did everything possible to change the recruiting thing. I'm a very small part of this night, but I did want to be a part of it. The fans know that I have been giving it my all and that we had the good judgment to when to say when. So this anchoring in some way, in some important way in the past without repeating the past, but on the basis of the past building something new: that is what is important. They say any landing you can walk away from is a good one. To find in ourselves what makes life worth living is risky business, for it means that once we know we must seek it. It also means that without it life will be valueless. Most of the groups I worked with 30 years ago are either dead or dead broke. And it's a shame. At home I'm just a guy who has interests that extend far beyond music. The nations were awakened from the sleep of death, as the words of eternal life flowed from the Apostles' lips, - the temples of superstition were shut or destroyed, and churches were planted in every part of the civilized world. A Christianity that is in conflict with the Scriptures isn't Christianity at all. Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after. It's not the case of turning in a bunch of songs and recording the next month. I think you're looking for songs all year long and you're writing all year long. Women love us for our defects.
