So I got into growing grapes, not realizing that there was a heck of a lot more to it than meets the eye.

I admit I do have some drawbacks and limitations as a candidate. Although I am a professional comedian, some of my critics maintain that this is not enough. I cannot deny that I stand before you untested and inexperienced - I only spent two years in television, never as a romantic lead or a song and dance man.

I think we should just tip the government if it does a good job. Fifteen percent is the standard tip, isn't it?

The federal government spends millions to run the Postal Service. I could lose your mail for half of that.

I was working like a dog as a housekeeper, barista, nanny, cook, so I could save enough money to really sit with my instruments. Whenever I had 20 minutes, I would practice a new chord or write a new verse.

The freedom enjoyed in Western society under the rule of law and constitutional government explains both the quality of its civilization and its wealth.

I want to stop making decisions based on money, start saying no to stuff I don't have fun with anymore.

If I make a good product and deliver value to users and to the world, the financial gains will come.
