When people make my country look bad, I can't stand it.

There're some places that are more difficult or dangerous to navigate and I wouldn't look forward to going back.

Don't let despair mutate your flesh Look at my twisted stumps of thought See the fingers, listen to the voice I am slowly becoming the end of the line.

We Americans look funny when we're in France because we don't travel, we are fairly un-cultured whereas Europeans go to Africa all the time because it's right there.

Music to me is mankind's greatest possible achievement because look at all the good it does.
