From birth to death, anyone can fish. I just think it's fantastic to see old people going fishing with young people and teaching them things. I'm very, very critical.

So, when I say 'match the hatch', if the fish are taking the nymph, and you're actually producing a replica of a flying insect, you'll catch fresh air.

My wife says I'm making a noise like a stranded whale. I think I have a major snoring problem.

All I can say to the kids is if you've a problem in fishing or life, if you talk to an older person, you're gonna end up alright, because nine times out of 10, they've been through the same thing.

And one thing I can be proud of is we have a 'Come and Try Fishing' day every year. And there's 20 venues throughout the state, and see, these thousands of kids who've never been fishing come along.

I think it's time for me to get out, because at the moment I'm only thinking about fishing 21 hours a day, and they're the waking moments. And even when I close my eyes I'm thinking about it.

I think it's wrong that so many people pass on from this existence, and take all their knowledge with them.

And that does concern me, because we're not getting enough back for our taxes that we're paying. I think we really have to look at the whole sort of area.

If you encase yourself in stone like a fossil, you’ll have an existence, but not a life.

Indie world won't have me, and mainstream world treats me like an alien, but here I am still floating between these two worlds.

Do you mind not being so kind and obedient? It makes me nervous.

I believe that when you have fans, they invest in you not just as a singer but as a person as well. It's not enough to just have good songs and a good voice.

During periods of relaxation after concentrated intellectual activity, the intuitive mind seems to take over and can produce the sudden clarifying insights which give so much joy and delight.

Freedom which has genuine meaning is more than a timeless abstraction, more than an absence of restraints.

I guarantee you it will not be anyone from the outside.

Family connexions were always worth preserving, good company always worth seeking.

I live and breathe every element in life.

We should have a strong president. Strong enough to resist the temptation of taking power that a president shouldn't have.
