I'm a working man in my prime cleaning windows.

Smell the sea and feel the sky.

The fog of illusion, the fog of confusion is hanging all over the world.

Have I told you lately that I love you, have I told you lately there's no one above you. Fill my heart with gladness, take away all my sadness, ease my troubles, that's what you do.

These are the days of the endless summer, these are the days, the time is now. There is no past, there's only future, there's only here, there's only now.

Hark, now hear the sailors cry, smell the sea, and feel the sky let your soul & spirit fly, into the mystic.

You gotta fight every day to keep mediocrity at bay.

Music is spiritual. The music business is not.

Let your soul and spirit fly.

Meet them halfway with love, peace, and persuasion, and expect them to rise for the occasion.

I think Paul McGuinness and U2 created the Irish music industry. It certainly wasn't there before that.

By becoming interested in the cause, we are less likely to dislike the effect.

I never felt like I was stealing anyone's fans as much as I was introducing some younger people to comedy who will eventually find tons of other comedians that they love.

I don't intentionally make my films with the express goal of surprising the viewer.

It takes a noble man to plant a seed for a tree that will someday give shade to people he may never meet.

The wider world is a click away, but whether we mean to or not, we're usually filtering it out.

Tardiness in literature can make me nervous.

A lot of solo directors have a really strong creative producer with them. Jay and I have less of a need for that because we have each other.

A commitment to love and justice demands the transformation of social structures as well as of hearts.

Not all novelists are power-hungry madman. Some are power-hungry madwomen.

When interviews are good, the conversation can be amazing. Sometimes I've had conversations with journalists that I've never had with anybody else.
