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

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

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.

Solitary walks are great for getting new ideas. It's like you're in a video game and you pick up idea coins on the way.

…you either do or do not have a comedy mind, whatever that is, maybe a heightened sense of the ridiculous and the absurdity of life…We are all crazy and crazed.

Impeccable manners and courteous behavior are the hallmarks for healthy relations and human interaction.

A little less complaint and whining, and a little more dogged work and manly striving, would do us more credit than a thousand civil rights bills.

I never thought I'd be a writer. I never thought I'd be able to read a book, let alone write one. So if books like this inspire kids to write, or even read a whole book, I think it's good.

Spring is the Period Express from God.

You hear people sing songs about when they really can't stand anyone anymore or you hear people sing songs about when they really love someone and they really love them.

Liberty and personal independence in America are still a concept some here have never known.

Once you become an actor, it's important to take care of yourself. I live in Santa Monica, where I can mountain bike, hike and go running on the beach. I like a nice sunset jog.

The one common experience of all humanity is the challenge of problems.
