Harry Connick, Jr.

Work, Time, Movies

Politics, Live, Important

I've always been more interested in organisms that can move on their own than in stationary plants. But when I canoe or hike along the edge of lakes or oceans and see trees that seem to be growing out of rock faces, I am blown away. How do they do it?
David Suzuki

Rock, Away, Growing

These seem to me so ambiguous, so vague, so easily misunderstood in comparison to genuine music, which fills the soul with a thousand things better than words.

Rashida Jones

Great, Beautiful, Special
