It was amazing to me that, all of a sudden, I was hearing my music on the radio and coming out of cars.

When the youth of America gets together, amazing things happen.

Nothing amazes me anymore.

Words to me were magic. You could say a word and it could conjure up all kinds of images or feelings or a chilly sensation or whatever. It was amazing to me that words had this power.

It's an amazing luxury to say I'm 31 years old and I'm gonna take a year off. That's pretty amazing.
