I don't understand why people make me want to make music that's a join-the-dots thing by numbers.

What led me to be an actor is that I have a strange something in me that can drastically change the way I appear to the world.

And then I learned to make a career of it.

There's this terrific kid in Maine who saw all the waste generated by straws handed out in restaurants.

Someone once asked me why people sing. I answered that they sing for many of the same reasons the birds sing. They sing for a mate, to claim their territory, or simply to give voice to the delight of being alive in the midst of a beautiful day. Perhaps more than the birds do, humans hold a grudge. They sing to complain of how grievously they have been wronged, and how to avoid it in the future. They sing to help themselves execute a job of work. They sing so the subsequent generations won’t forget what the current generation endured, or dreamed, or delighted in.
