Don't let your dreams escape / The future's ours to shape

Real talent will get through whatever the obstacles.

My life is so full of surprises, nothing surprises me any more.

When I was 15, I was naive, looked like a grey mouse and felt second choice.

I don't take myself seriously any more. Sometimes I just garden in my knickers and platform shoes.

My parents have a wonderful marriage, for many years. But I can't commit myself for such a long time.

Performing, I can take it or leave it. Horticulture is far more challenging. I'm absolutely fascinated by it.

My father has taught me all the tricks of the boys at an early age, which has made me very careful.

Dad is my best mate and I can tell Mum absolutely anything. I really appreciate Mum and Dad. Why are we so close? Young parents, I think. The rock business keeps their minds young.

When you're together with someone for some time, you will automatically depend on them as if they were a crutch. And then it ends.

Most of your unhappiness in life comes from the fact that you are listening to yourself instead of talking to yourself.

The cleverly expressed opposite of any generally accepted idea is worth a fortune to somebody.

I don't want to just go to the playoffs, I don't want to go to the playoffs and win the first round, second round, and not win the whole thing because it's bittersweet.

You look boldly ahead; isn't it only that you don't see or divine anything terrible in the future; because life is still hidden from your young eyes.

Anything where we're the butt of the joke, no one tells us about it.

Stop sketching and start building.

I am hoping that the scientists and politicians who have been blindly demonizing carbon dioxide for 37 years will one day open their eyes and look at the evidence.

Selenite occurs in abundance in well formed clear crystals of several inches in length.

My heart is the throne of the Beloved, the Beloved the heart's destiny: Whoever breaks another's heart will find no homecoming in this world or any other.
