I love empty churches and going into them looking around, but I'm not a churchgoer at all.

No one should be telling you who you should love, no one should be telling you who you should be spending the rest of your life with. When we start talking about equality, and everybody being treated equally, I don't want to know an African-American who will say everybody doesn't deserve equality.

When the costs of production are so much more than they can end up getting for the oil, they just stop producing and stop paying their loans.
