artist input way
I am the type of artist where you can't tell me anything. I have always been that way. I am right. I don't need any input.
thinking water fans
I grew up being a huge fan of Bruce Lee, and this quote always stuck out to me. He said, "Water can flow, or it can crash. If you put it into a teapot, it becomes the teapot." It always made sense to me to adapt the flow and roll with whatever the situation is and to not think about it too much and get caught up in it. It works easier for me that way.
song guitar driven
Most of my songs start out as being very aggressive and guitar-driven.
foundation relevant grows
The blues is the foundation for a lot of things. Things have branched off. Its cool how music grows, but the foundation is always there. Its not going anywhere. The blues is always going to be relevant.
guitar hip-hop sublime
When I got my first guitar, I played along with everything I heard that had guitar in it, like the Ramones, Nirvana and Sublime, as well as whatever hip-hop and R&B stuff was on the radio.
country impact debt
And the trajectory that our debt is taking now beyond $14 trillion is going to have an impact on our currency. It goes south, and our currency's going to have an impact on our standard of living and affect every family in this country, and over time, our international competitiveness.
running thinking order
I don't think you need to run down someone's reputation in order to run for the office of president.
couple thinking years
The rest of the world cares about how we conduct our affairs because they then take that lead. Were the only leader in the world today. Some are wishing us well, others think that were down and are not going to get back up again, but they are all watching with great interest to see how we conduct our business over the next couple of years.
believe kids america
Today, I'm a candidate for the office of president of the United States of America. My kids can't believe I just said that.
years joy conservative
I’ve been married for 29 years. My marriage has been the greatest joy of my life. There is nothing conservative about denying other Americans the ability to forge that same relationship with the person they love.
cutting defense enough
If we can't find cuts in the defense budget, we're not looking carefully enough.
war taken deployment
It's taken a lot of presidents to get us where we are today, a lot of deployments, a lot of wars, a lot engagements. You add them all up.
real secret diplomats
The real secret about diplomats is that we're trained to say something, when there is nothing to say, and to say nothing when there is something to say.
reality people giving
With a weak and rotting core, you don't have much of a foreign policy. You're discounted at the negotiating table, economically and militarily. So when people ask what's the best course of action for the U.S.-China relationship, I can give you ten academic responses. But the reality is we need to rebuild our core.
