“I like to make things. Its been part of my identity since I was a kid.”

There are no failures, only quitters.

A lot of it is “how do you work with people”. How do you get people to work with you and do wonderful things.

We already live in the futureit’s not like we’re waiting for something to happenit’s just a matter of doing it.

It makes me sad when I see things that are just the same technology; you aren’t passing the technology forward.

I was very healthy from a young age. I was always known as the healthy kid in my group of friends. My mom had us drink barley-grass powder, and I’ve taken vitamins and fish oil and multivitamins since I was a kid.

There’s only a couple times when fame is ever helpful. Sometimes you can get into a restaurant where the kitchen is just closing.

I never fully committed to the child actor thing. I also liked being a regular kid and being a student.

I grew up in a tough neighborhood where a lot of kids were older than me.

No, I don’t do drugs anymore, either. But I’ll tell you something about drugs. I used to do drugs, but I’ll tell you something honestly about drugs, honestly, and I know it’s not a very popular idea, you don’t hear it very often anymore, but it is the truth,

My kids hear me behind my door, giggling like an idiot, and they roll their eyes at the blatant indignity of it all.

I love my kids so much. They teach me something every day. It always brings richness to my work, and even more in life. I feel lucky to be able to do both.

The thing is, acoustic could be like a four-letter word to a lot of kids.
