I'm so accustomed to being alone.

When I'm alone, I work sometimes with music, sometimes without and sometimes just listening to NPR.

What I'm trying to do is get this message out about self-empowerment, entrepreneurial spirit and true Americanism - the way we were when we changed the world, when Edison was alone, failing his 2,000th time on the lightbulb.

A country is made not by policy alone, but by its music, its entertainment shows, all of it.

I thought about how we need to make children feel that there are times in their lives when they need to be alone and quiet and to be able to accept their aloneness.
