Don't forget that Rupert Murdoch has always regarded the Op Ed pages of 'The Wall Street Journal' - as he's said to me - as a cup of strong caffeine that gets you going in the morning and tells you what to think.
I think a common misconception about a small town in rural America is that everyone believes the same way, and nothing could be further from the truth.
The Right likes to think that intellectuals and academics like Allan Bloom and Dinesh D'Souza spurred the explosive growth of movement conservatism in the 1980s and 1990s, when it was actually mostly Rush Limbaugh.
I think talk radio belongs to conservatives now after the last 20, 30 years of Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, my colleagues at Salem, Dennis Prager, Hugh Hewitt, Larry Elder.
I have to stop rushing things. I have to be composed in my mind and slow things down. I think that will make me a better finisher.
You might not think of 'conservation' immediately when you think of Russell Crowe, but he is a great conservationist in his own right.
I think Russell Crowe is a brilliant actor.
I think Russian people are learning that democracy is not an alien thing; it's not a western invention.
I don't think it's all that unusual for a new president to want to get along with the Russians. I remember George W. Bush having the same hope.
I've definitely been in ruts, and I think having some kind of perseverance is important.
I am on sabbatical as of right now, been too busy to think of about my OWN needs as of late.
My goal is to think of nothing when I'm writing a song because too many influences could sabotage a potentially amazing song.
I think that sometimes love gets in the way of itself - you know, love interrupts itself. We want things so much that we sabotage them.
I'm big on setting goals, but I also think that if you have too many lofty ambitions and set goals for everything, you can sabotage your efforts by overextending your brain.
Everybody has this sack they're carrying. Some are heavier. Some are lighter. But no one doesn't have it. And if you think someone doesn't have it, they have a bigger one than you imagine.
I think it's actually more difficult to come to a club where everything is going great and everyone is happy. When you take over from a guy who has been sacked because things weren't going well, it's more straightforward.
I want to be a manager, it wouldn't scare me, but I also think you could be sacked in six months and you'd have to take the kids back to school with your tail between your legs.
I think there's a time and place to watch an independent film, or catch up on a French action film on your laptop, or Netflix it, or download it, or watch it on-demand. But I think we also have to maintain the sacredness of the movie theatre as church - especially with event screenings.
I don't think of my songs as sad songs. I think of them as vulnerable and honest. I crack jokes in between songs, so people don't leave feeling too dark.
I think as an American society, when we're paying too many taxes or dealing with war, we don't want to see sad things at the movies.
