• Years later, I found myself running
  a network television division and then a
  movie studio and now an entire entertainment
  company. But, much of the success I've achieved

  lessons I learned in building those campfires.
  I can hardly think of an aspect of my life
  that wasn't positively affected by my camping
  experience.

• I find that in California I can't find guys that have enough energy. They play a little bit and that's about it. They play less.

• At first I didn't understand what [Thelonious Monk] was doing, but I went back again, and what I can say about Monk is that I heard ancient Africa in his music. When he played, it was like a ballet. He captured the sound of the universe. Monk could take a triad, a simple chord, and make it sound dissonant. I'm sure that element he had in his piano was part of the two years he spent traveling with his mother in gospel music in the tent shows.
