“I believe we're at the verge of the greatest time to be alive in this world. But Washington is holding us back. How we tax, how we regulate.

We're not protecting and preserving our entitlement system or reforming for the next generation. All these things languish while we have politicians in Washington using these as wedge issues.”

I've had too many friends killed now, and I've seen too many people killed in my life when I drove across the country when I was 12. I'm sure that has a lot to do with it.

The room is the environment in which the mix performs to its potential, as the road is to the car. It's hugely important.”
