Do me a favor... Stand up, walk to wherever the nearest window is, and just look outside.

Your life is as amazing as you want it to be, but first, you have to let it be that way.

His songs, ranging from the little plastic parts that hold the world together, to what enlightenment comes from Buddha and Betty Boop falling in love, are whimsically and wisely original and enduring.
