“Today enormous effort goes into convincing the American public that we're just consumers of media manipulation and sound-bites and spin doctors. That we care only about ourselves, money, and stuff.

“I find that things don't bother me as much. If I had a bad day on set, it sort of just rolls of my back in a way that it didn't before.

“Of course, you don't have to have a degree to be rich. You just have to have ideas. Maybe having a degree sets you back, for it stuffs you into tick-tock [the daily grind of work], and perhaps that stifles your creative mind. But the fact is that many millionaires have few educational qualifications of any kind at all. However, they still have knowledge. The difference is, they have knowledge they can sell, and others have the "common knowledge" of tick-tock, which isn't worth as much, if anything at all.” IfsMindKindStillsIdeasFactsCoursesStuffDifferencesCommonKnowledgeCreativeRichDegreesSellsEducationalMillionaireGrindQualificationsTickCreative MindCommon KnowledgeDaily GrindTockTick Tock Author:Stuart Wilde
“What interested me about Chuck Berry was the way he could step out of the rhythm part with such ease, throwing in a nice, simple riff, and then drop straight into the feel of it again. We used to play a lot more rhythm stuff. We'd do away with the differences between lead and rhythm guitar. You can't go into a shop and ask for a "lead guitar".

“I get to focus on something I love to do 24-hours a day rather than trying to squeeze it in between midterms, or even during my normal workday.
