Contradiction
(18)
The biggest criticism of my interviews is that I cut people off. I think my biggest asset is that I cut people off. It sounds like a contradiction, but the fact is you can’t allow people to drone on. You are the orchestra leader. You are the one who is saying, 'My audience wants something new. I gotta keep it fresh.' I don’t want my guests to bomb.

We did not ask for this room or this music. We were invited in. Therefore, because the dark surrounds us, let us turn our faces to the light. Let us endure hardship to be grateful for plenty. We have been given pain to be astounded by joy. We have been given life to deny death. We did not ask for this room or this music. But because we are here, let us dance.

: It said 'Dance like nobody is watching.' Which I do, constantly... in my living room, with the shades closed just in case somebody is watching. But it also said not to hide problems away.

Contradiction exists in everyone. There's really nothing wrong with the fact that the same people who sing ‘Whiskey River’ at the show tonight also sing ‘Amazing Grace.’ When I was back teaching Sunday school, I used to teach the same people on Sunday mornings that I sang to on Saturday nights. Nothing wrong with that, either.
