I have spent more than a decade trying to improve the lives of some of the most vulnerable people on earth, and they’ve taught me countless lessons. – Howard Graham Buffett

You can do any number of things in the music business aside from trying to look like you’re 25. To me it’s embarrassing. – Grace Slick
I think about everything first. I think about the scenario: the story and the characters, what I’m trying to say and I’ll think about that for a couple of days until it’s all locked in and then when I get to an instrument it’ll just fall out. But the song’s kind of all ready there in my head. – Graham Russell
