Actually, my experience over the past couple of years hasn't necessarily been something that would be interesting, were it committed to record.

Festivals are a time to play the songs people know and are looking forward to hearing.

I like albums that knit together, where the songs relate to one another and intertwine.

I think people who traditionally ate haggis wouldn't eat the good cuts, 'cause they'd sell the good cuts to make their money, so they get left with all the crap.

Most traditional Scottish food is designed to use things that are just about to go...off.

In terms of covers, it's always nice to do ones that aren't actually getting played by the original artist anymore. I just love the song; I love that band, and it's nice to be able to play it.

Nothing can be compared to the new life that the discovery of another country provides for a thoughtful person. Although I am still the same I believe to have changed to the bones.

The best kind of praise is intelligent praise.

Nutty people are always writing me. I always think I must be on some nutty mailing list.

It was an effort to include intelligent design and treat it as science, disparaging evolution along the way. That will not stand.

Evolutionary learning calls upon our creative potentials as it empowers us to envision images of the future and bring those images to life by design.

As long as you can Houdini your way out of the Sisyphean constraints then originality happens.

The camera can represent flesh so superbly that, if I dared, I would never photograph a figure without asking that figure to take its clothes off.

Confronting an irresponsible person is not painful to him; only consequences are.

Adults ask questions as a child does. When you stop wondering, you might as well put your rocker on the front porch and call it a day.

A government that says what it means, and means what it says.
