I'd rather wait until we're through working." ()
I've got incredible support from my wife and family and people around me. I've got great people around me who handle anything on the outside, business-wise, who help free me up to create in my job.
It was a big dance, working with him, ... It was a lot of new moves that I've never seen before, but always with the rhythm. It was a real vital experience. It's easy to go out there and tell the truth, because you're in a scene and you catch a wave, so to speak. You're not conscious of where you're going, but you're on a wave. And usually those turn out to be either the worst take or the best, but all you need is one that's the best, you know?" ()
I love having my hands in the dirt. It is never a science and always an art. There are no rules. And if it comes down to me versus that weed I'm trying to pull out of the ground that doesn't want to come out? I know I'll win.

The hardest thing was going through different stages of weight loss. At the beginning, it was easy to take off the weight with exercise and eating less but then you reach a point where 90% of the weight loss is achieved purely through reducing your calorie intake. My goal was to lose four lbs per week and that worked well for the first few months but then things got tricky.
My life is the road, man. I need to keep moving.
Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you get good at.
