“If you want what's in the package you should at least know how to get the string off, is what I say.”

“Sometimes to get what you want the most, you have to do what you want the least.”

“I don't know if it's what you want, but it's what you get.”

“First you find out what you have, Dad would say. Then you figure out how to make it work for what you need, 'cause you don't get what you want. You get just what you have and no more.”

“Knowing how things work is important, but I think that's an incomplete view of what science literacy is or, at least, should be. Science literacy is an outlook. It's more of a lens through which you observe what goes on around you.”

“I think that when you make a record, an album, it has to be a discovery for the person listening to it, so you don't want to pat everything out and say "this was that, this is definite, that's how it happened and that's what you should feel and that's what you should like or dislike."”

“Experience is what you get when you didn’t know what you wanted.”

“The end is what you want and the means is how you get it.”

“You have to know what you want to get it.”

“It is impossible to know who you are and what you like and what you believe and what you want unless you know how you feel.”
