Getting out of bed in the morning is an act of false confidence.

You get up about 2-3 o'clock in the morning and get through about 7 or 8 and 12 hours later you start all over. That's the worst kind of work a person can do. You have to do these two shifts to get one day.

One morning I woke up and was plunged into psychological shock. I had forgotten I was free.

I love Adele, I want her to be my best friend. She could come to the U.S., live with me and sing to me every morning.

I get up at sunrise. I'm a Buddhist, so I chant in the morning. My wife and I sit and have coffee together, but then it's list-making time. I have carpentry projects. We have roads we keep in repair. It's not back-breaking, but it's certainly aerobic and mildly strenuous.
