“I've had offers to sign a record deal, but the people I've talked to have wanted to package me and have me meet with songwriters who've written stuff for Whitney Houston, that sort of thing.

“It's never the same relationship. I see my job as filling in the blanks. Whatever it is that the artist lacks in the process of making a record, I'm supposed to fill that in. And sometimes it's a lot of stuff and I have to hector them about working on the material and that sort of thing. Sometimes you have an artist that's really fairly self-sufficient; they just need another ear to offer some objective criticism, but otherwise pretty much know what they're doing. It varies a lot.” KnowsNeedsSelfSometimesJobsArtistStuffProcessRecordsMaterialsOffersCriticismEarsObjectivesSufficientFillingVarySelf SufficientHectorFilling In Author:Todd Rundgren
“Superficial to understand the journal as just a receptable for one's private, secret thoughts - like a confidante who is deaf, dumb, and illiterate. In the journal I do not just express myself more openly than I could to any person; I create myself. ... The journal is a vehicle for my sense of selfhood. It represents me as emotionally and spiritually independent. Therefore (alas) it does not simply record my actual, daily life but rather - in many cases - offers an alternative to it.” PersonsDoeSecretCasesRecordsOffersIndependentAlternativesDumbDaily LifeVehicleJournalSuperficialAlasDeafSense Of SelfIlliterateJournalingKeeping A JournalSecret Thoughts Author:Susan Sontag
“A lot of people hate my skepticism, and I think I understand why. The psychics offer wonders and endless possibilities in a world that often seems difficult and mundane. They promise health, wealth, wisdom, eternal life. But if you examine the record, it's not the psychics but the hard-nosed scientists who have actually delivered the things that improve human life. And, to me, science describes a world far more interesting than any psychic fantasy. It's a good world -- not perfect -- but it's ours. So we'd better learn to live with it, the way it is.” PeopleIfsThinkingWorldWayHumansHardSeemsHateDifficultWealthPerfectInterestingWonderFantasyRecordsPossibilityPromiseOffersEternalScientistEndlessHuman LifeSkepticismPsychicsEternal LifeMundaneNot PerfectEndless PossibilitiesHealth Wealth Author:James Randi
