I spent five years of my youth in prison - some very bad prisons.

A lot of times, when I met somebody and took them out on a date, I obviously didn't tell them my background, because I didn't think I'd see them but once or twice.

If I check into a hotel, a lot of times, they know who I am.

I owe a debt to my country 800 times greater than I could ever repay.

I just spend my life studying the manufacture of sound and picture and my education, if you like, has come from what I've chosen to make sounds and pictures on.

Education makes children less dependent upon others and opens doors to better jobs and career possibilities.

You can take a school like the University of Colorado, with a selective admission standard. It has a better caliber student going in, so you ought to have a better caliber coming out.

My mom was a piano teacher. It turned into something of a competition between me and her students... I liked the idea that I needed to be better than everybody else.
