"It is clear that men accept an immediate pain rather than an immediate pleasure, but only because they expect a greater pleasure in the future. Often the pleasure is illusory, but their error in calculation is no refutation of the rule.

"There were always choices. I'd made a string of bad ones myself. At least I could admit that."
"I don't make people smoke pot or meth, snort coke, put pills or tabs in their mouths or shoot themselves up with heroin. I just transport the stuff."
"Life happens because of choices we make, if you want a better outcome; think before you create."

"I don't feel like I'm on a mission. I'm trying to play music that I like to play and like to listen to."
"Both my parents worked, so I was home alone a lot, and I would listen to their records. They belonged to the Columbia House record club, so they had records!"
"I enjoyed hearing people do their own songs. I became attracted to singer-songwriters. I became interested in them as people; was curious about what they wanted to say."
