Cruel to be kind means that I love you.

If anyone comes along, I'm more than happy to welcome them, but I'm not interested in world domination.

The world is full of musicians who can play great, and you wouldn't cross the road to see them. It's people who have this indefinable attitude that are the good ones.

Going to Nashville to meet the in-laws was the first time when I'd been in America and not been seen as some sort of eccentric character with a cute accent.

I like being a big fish in a small pond. I'm not interested in a huge audience because it brings headaches.

For me, coming to work and laughing is so much more preferable than coming to work and having to cry over a corpse or something. That's a drag.

WikiLeaks is a important focus of our attention.

Elusive dreams and vague desires fanned to fiery needs by deadly deeds of falling empires.

Anyone that dares begrudge what I have today, just better get off their duff and do something about it.

Struggling is mandatory. Suffering is optional.
