Light creates ambience and feel of a place, as well as the expression of a structure.

Mike and Harvey finally consummate things, a great cliffhanger

I'd really rather put songs on people's lips than in their ears.

I will be gutted if Roy does go because I would far rather he stayed at Old Trafford. (on Roy Keane leaving Manchester United)

I'm making music for the people. If y'all love the music, y'all gonna buy the music.

My dear old dog, most constant of all friends.
