I am a self-taught guitarist. I just try to piece together passages that have some melodic value!

... Nashville is such a fantastic city, with this great creative music energy. Then there's that Southern hospitality, you can't beat that.

My family runs a little art gallery back in Cornwall, so flashy cars and things like that have never really been particularly interesting to me.

Cornwall has lots of folk and Celtic music and has that kind of surfer vibe as well. That was my kind of upbringing.

As a musician myself, it annoys the hell out of me to watch an actor trying to play a guitar out of time with the music.

My cousin gave me a twin-neck electric guitar for one of my birthdays. It was amazing. Even though it was mine, I was never allowed to pick it up.

It's a really fulfilling life if you can make your job what you love doing.

I try to stay clear of karaoke because it normally involves an excess amount of drinking.

I hate those people that get up and they're amazing. I think you just have to be kind of wasted to go and do it.

I was fortunate to become the woman I always wanted to be.

That's what life is - you follow where your heart leads you - at least I do.

An economist is a surgeon with an excellent scalpel and a rough-edged lancet, who operates beautifully on the dead and tortures the living.

An Olympic medal won't define my whole life, although it might look like it to onlookers. When I look back, I should have been able to get an Olympic medal.

I can sympathize with everything, except suffering.

If you want to be called a dwarf you must be in immediate possession of a battle axe cause otherwise your just a midget with an attitude.

As a cartoonist I do what I find funny. As an editor I have a broader approach realizing that humor is inherently subjective and I don't want my preferences to rule out what others might like.
