I can't really sit around and talk with people who believe that the Bible is the way it happened, because that's man-made. I'm a writer, too; that's how I look at the Bible.

John Prine

When my kids were growing up, I wanted their teachers to teach them science, reading, math and history. I also wanted them to care about my kids.
