“We are ultimately trying to accomplish the same thing, which is survival and the thriving of a better world.”

As a society, we are so wrapped up in our own artificial creations that we have become disconnected from one another and the wonder of our natural world.

I think it can be a lot more collaborative.

In the new music landscape, with is the democratization of the internet and music in general.

We’re all part of the story; we can all contribute and participate.

Everything I do, it’s all about making every moment a quality, meaningful moment.

I think in the old music, everything was so competitive.

I’m passionate about it because I think it’s the most direct way to connect to the things that are ineffable.

We have to act united as a people, and that means that every individual has to participate and do their part.

I see stuff sometimes and have a good laugh.

My Dad used to tell us: ‘En este pais, ustedes van a poder lograr todas las cosas que nosotros no pudimos’ ‘In this country, you will be able to accomplish all the things we never could.’

A winner is someone who recognizes his God-given talents, works his tail off to develop them into skills, and uses these skills to accomplish his goals.

Man has always to be busy with his thoughts if anything is to be accomplished.

Prayer is work. The experiences of many children of God demonstrate that it accomplishes far more than does any other form of work. It is also warfare, for it is one of the weapons in fighting the enemy. However, only prayer in the spirit is genuinely effectual.

Nowadays Christians appear to treat prayer as a means to accomplish their aims and ideas. If they possessed just a little deeper understanding, they would recognize that prayer is but man uttering to God what is God’s will.

I don’t want people to think I’m not happy when we win – I am. But there’s a difference between being happy for the feeling of accomplishing something and being overjoyed and feeling, ‘This is it – we conquered the world.’ We didn’t. We just won a game.
