I'm not singing for the future I'm not dreaming of the past I'm not talking of the fist time I never think about the last

Cram as much pleasure as you can into life, and rail against the pain that you have to suffer as a result.

I drink because I'm thirsty.

I've been a babe magnet for quite a while now.

You can’t hate people unless you love them.

Everyone drinks..........Well, unless they don't.

There is drinking in lots of the songs because there is drinking in life. Drinking stimulates the imagination.

When I'm writing a song, it gives me more actual pleasure to hear someone else sing it than do it meself.

I'm not so much a rock star, d'ya know what I mean? I play Irish music. There's really no age when you stop playing Irish music. Even if I retired from playing onstage, I'd still be singing in pubs.

There's an art to playing live. It's a great feeling. It's indescribable. It's what I love. I wouldn't do it if I didn't enjoy it.

The science of psychology lies within your own head making complex decisions and showing different attitudes

Hipness is not a state of mind, It's a fact of life!

Experience nature. Then you know why it's worth protecting.

Always walk towards open doors. And if they slam shut in your face, kick that sucker in and keep going.

Acting is such a bizarre way of life. Unless you're really passionate about it, you should give it up. Don't beat yourself up.

I use the film industry as a pleasure for work and that kind of thing and it's not a pursuit to make me feel happy in my life.

Hunting is now to most of us a game, whose relish seems based upon some mystic remembrance, in the blood, of ancient days when to hunter as well as hunted it was a matter of life and death.
