More From Mikhail Gorbachev

Words are humanity's greatest natural resource, but most of us have trouble figuring out how to put them together. words aren't cheap. they are very precious. they are like water, which gives life and growth and refreshment, but because it has always been abundant, we treat it cheaply. we waste it; we pollute it, and doctor it. later we blame the quality of the water because we have misused it.

I thought that if the right time gets missed, if one has refused or been refused something for too long, it's too late, even if it is finally tackled with energy and received with joy. or is there no such thing as "too late"? is there only "late," and is "late" always better than "never"? i don't know.

We proclaim human intelligence to be morally valuable per se because we are human. if we were birds, we would proclaim the ability to fly as morally valuable per se. if we were fish, we would proclaim the ability to live underwater as morally valuable per se. but apart from our obviously self-interested proclamations, there is nothing morally valuable per se about human intelligence.

But the most dangerous thing in the world in the world is to run the risk of waking up one morning and realizing suddenly that all this time you've been living without really and truly living and by then it's too late. when you wake up to that kind of realization, it's too late for wishes and regrets. it's even too late to dream.

I used to smoke marijuana. but i'll tell you something: i would only smoke it in the late evening. oh, occasionally the early evening, but usually the late evening - or the mid-evening. just the early evening, midevening and late evening. occasionally, early afternoon, early mid-afternoon, or perhaps the late-midafternoon. oh, sometimes the early-mid-late-early morning. . . but never at dusk!

I'm a better musician now, and i rarely practice because age has taught me the value of economy. and i think i'm a better writer now because i don't waste as much time, dilly-dallying and sassafrassin' and sloop and sloppin' and frying eggs. when you start writing, half the time you're just saying howdy to the page. my process now is a little more lean and muscular. i don't waste a lot of time. when i had kids, i learned how much time i had before, and how much time you actually need to do something. if you don't have time, you'll just do it and get it done.

It takes about a year to write an opera for me, but not a really a year of writing. i'm touring at the same time, and i'm playing, sometimes doing smaller projects.[the opera] akhnaten fits in with gandhi and einstein, so that forms a trilogy in a way.i picked people who were these kind of larger than life characters, who kind of changed the world they lived in by almost the force of their personality and their inventiveness. people that i think not only do i admire but i think they're admirable people.
