I guess I should warn you, if I turn out to be particularly clear, you've probably misunderstood what I've said

You can live as a ghost, waiting for death to come, or you can dance.

The only thing that was economic, I might say, about my music career, aside from the fact that I did everybody's tax returns in the band, was the decision I made to leave the music business on economic grounds.

Increased jobs are the consequence of increased trade. Increasing jobs more than output implies a fall in productivity and standards of living. That surely cannot be our goal.

The only way you get economic progress, real standards of living moving higher, is to have the savings of the society continuously invested in the cutting-edge technologies. And those technologies which are obsolescent get dropped out.

But we need such skills in order to staff our productive economy, so that the standard of living for Americans as a whole can grow.
