The real people who hold our civilization together are the maintenance people. If it weren't for them - pumping water out of subways, painting bridges to keep from rusting, fixing a steam pipe that is 70 years old - we'd be sunk.

Without the fans, we are a band without a home. — David Ellefson

But the real question is, "How can I stay home - interiorly home - while I do these many things? — Henri Nouwen

I'm a big fan of rehearsal. I'm famous for pulling the cast together, not so much to formally rehearse, but just to run the lines.

D. Salinger

I travel up and down the country and I've been all around the middle of America for many years.

And we have a long tradition of coming together through music in our country. — Wynton Marsalis
