The quality of due diligence prior to approval of certificates has fallen.
Politics goes in one ear and out the other. I don't even know the president's name for sure. That's how stupid I am.

The keyboard is my whole life. My life is centered around either sitting at my keyboard or driving my car. Those are the two most important things, more than anything else. Being at my keyboard, it's the happiest time for me.

I like the piano - I'm always about 15 feet away from a piano.
