More From Jay Leno

Maybe the only thing that hints at a sense of time is rhythm; not the recurrent beats of the rhythm but the gap between two such beats, the gray gap between black beats: the tender interval.
Two Black Hints
Genius is its own reward; for the best that one is, one must necessarily be for oneself. . . . further, genius consists in the working of the free intellect., and as a consequence the productions of genius serve no useful purpose. the work of genius may be music, philosophy, painting, or poetry; it is nothing for use or profit. to be useless and unprofitable is one of the characteristics of genius; it is their patent of nobility.
Music Philosophy Useless
I have an ambition to live 300 years. i will not live 300 years. maybe i will live one year more. but i have the ambition. why you will not have ambition? why? have the greatest ambition possible. you want to be immortal? fight to be immortal. do it. you want to make the most fantastic art or movie? try. if you fail, is not important. we need to try.
Art Ambition Fighting
Animals are like autistic savants. in fact, i'd go so far as to say that animals might actually be autistic savants. animals have special talents normal people don't, the same way autistic people have special talents normal people don't; and at least some animals have special forms of genius normal people don't, the same way some autistic savants have special forms of genius. i think most of the time animal genius probably happens for the same reason autistic genius does: a difference in the brain autistic people share with animals.
Animal Thinking Differences
Talent warms-up the given (as they say in cookery) and makes it apparent; genius brings something new. but our time lets talent pass for genius. they want to abolish the genius, deify the genius, and let talent forge ahead.
Time Genius Want
Either i'm a genius or i'm mad, which is it? "no," i said, "i can't be mad because nobody's put me away; therefore i'm a genius." genius is a form of madness and we're all that way. but i used to be coy about it, like me guitar playing. but if there's such a thing as genius - i am one. and if there isn't, i don't care.
