I'm fortunate to have a hilarious, fun, brilliant family that I love spending time with that keeps me in a healthy head space.

Do you know that all of the money that we are spending, that the government is spending, must come from you? The government has no great pile of gold to which it can go to get what it gives you.

I look at anything in nature and how things work - the stars, the pyramids - and I can't imagine that there's not some kind of design to it all.

The devil's spirit's trapped inside me. My soul is possessed by this devil my new name is Rain Man. So I keep conjuring (demons), sometimes I wonder where these thoughts spawn (Satan) from.
