He who lies down with dogs shall rise with fleas

A princess always takes care that her words are honeyed, for she may have to eat them

Only those who row the boat make waves

Life is too short to dance with ugly men

Great minds think alike-especially when they are female.

If ye canna see the bright side o' life, polish the dull side

I've played American, Italian, Greek, French. I've been really lucky that way.

I'm so glad we had that storm last week.

I like going to see live bands. Live bands can be quite heavy, but I think it's very relaxing at the same time because you feel so happy and chilled-out.

Cocaine was different. It kept saying, "You haven't had enough." I became an abuser almost instantly.

I've always loved playing solo. I guess in a way I just feel blessed to be able to make music. My favorite thing is usually whatever I'm doing right there and then.

When you're not playing the hero of the story, then you have to know that you're always a foil for the good guy. I love playing that. I think that's always an interesting place to be.

Not to dismiss Gershwin, but Gershwin is the chip; Ellington was the block.

The urge for destruction is also a creative urge!

I'm ballsy. Well, sometimes I'm ballsy.

A man of peace does more good than a very learned man.
