I'm a huge historical fiction and non-fiction fan.

You don't want people to look at something and think that was a fantastic special effect.

I usually can be more honest writing songs than actually talking to people.

I think where you play is important.

A man's life is colored by the dye of his imagination.

I love how people walk around with crucifixes, skullcaps, pointy hats, funny beards and then say 'you should keep your atheism to yourself.'

Never praise a sister to a sister, in the hope of your compliments reaching the proper ears.
