This country is going - be living better ten years from now than it is now. It will be living better in 20 years from now than ten years from now.

Everybody expects the fairy tale - you're going to be together forever with somebody. I don't really subscribe to that. I'd love that to happen if that happened, but ten years is enough.

Mary Mapes Dodge

Joshua Ferris

I see myself as most people see themselves, you have good days and bad days. I don't think I'm better looking now than I did three years ago.

I'm not trying to clock scores in this lifetime, it's just that things are better now than they were like five, ten years ago. Music has gotten a lot better. There's a lot of people who are committed to - soulfully.
