The thing that I've always been slightly frustrated with, was that the idea of a CD is kind of confined to a material possession that you can put on a shelf. And the idea of music, for me, is always about both the communication and the sharing of content. And so the interactive part is missing.

Sir, I have no objection to a man's drinking wine, if he can do it in moderation.

This is the highest wisdom that I own; freedom and life are earned by those alone who conquer them each day anew.

Johann von Goethe

I wanted to be a lead singer in a band. I can't sing. I'm almost tone deaf. I still play. Next life, rock'n'roll for sure.

Jorja Fox

Education is what most receive, many pass on, and few possess.

Karl Kraus

In all planing you make a list and you set priorities.

Alan Lakein

It is always right that a man should be able to render a reason for the faith that is within him.

Sydney Smith

Neither wisdom nor good will is now dominant. Hope lies in dreams, in imagination and in the courage of those who dare to make dreams into reality.

Jonas Salk

My dad wanted me to play when I was a kid, so I learned to play the guitar. I pursued a career in music because I love it so much and I enjoy what it does to those who hear it.

Randy Travis
