Actually music gave me the support when I needed it. I would never have gone to college unless I'd gotten a piano scholarship. And now I'm so glad I got to learn to play the cello which is a different experience you're flexing a different muscle but it's beautiful because it is music.
I've learned through experience of playing different characters some of whom were jerks that when you play a character who is pretentious or obnoxious in any way it's important to knock them down a peg.

So I've seen life as one long learning process. And if I see - you know if I fly on somebody else's airline and find the experience is not a pleasant one which it wasn't in - 21 years ago then I'd think well you know maybe I can create the kind of airline that I'd like to fly on.

You may never learn the names of any of the people you talk to in a dog park even after many many hours spent there with them and many hours of conversation.

I've learned through experience that life is never that bad. The secret is just paying attention to how you feel and not letting anyone else dictate what in your heart you know is right.
To me what I love about the draft is first you see the young men who are realizing their dreams that they've worked so hard for. That's a pretty cool thing.
