Remember, I'm not running against Rick Perry; I'm running against apathy.

But the most dangerous thing in the world in the world is to run the risk of waking up one morning and realizing suddenly that all this time you've been living without really and truly living and by then it's too late. When you wake up to that kind of realization, it's too late for wishes and regrets. It's even too late to dream.

Musicians can run this state better than politicians. We won't get a lot done in the mornings, but we'll work late and be honest.

And I think musicians can better run this state than politicians. And, hell, beauticians can better run the state than politicians.
