Ever occur to you why some of us can be this much concerned with animals suffering? Because government is not. Why not? Animals don't vote.
I'm kind of concerned about 'Ego & Hubris' because I'm thinking that people will read it and maybe even be entertained by it, but at the end of it, you know, they'll wonder, 'Why did this guy write this? What was the point of it?'
One thing we are concerned about is what the audience of the future is going to look like. We've got to capture a new generation to support the S.C. Philharmonic.
I'm not a writer where I feel particularly blessed by great inspiration every day. I don't. I have to work really hard at it to try and say the things I'm concerned with.
I've never seen a monument erected to a pessimist.

I know people like myself where we've got resorts, or we're in the hospitality business, and we just can't make money because you're paying someone minimum $42 per hour or something on a Sunday.
I knew that the folks in D.C. were going to be surprised and some were going to be chagrined. But it's not all that uncommon here in Texas.
