I really started writing music to challenge myself, to see what I could write.

Life's short. Anything could happen, and it usually does, so there is no point in sitting around thinking about all the ifs, ands and buts.

I don't think your ability to fight has anything to do with how big you are. It's to do with how much anger is in you.

I'm romantic. I fall in love every day. Not with people but with situations. The other day, I saw a tramp polishing his shoes. That just gripped my heart.

I've always had my own style, I've always been different. I don't like to wear anything that anyone else is wearing because it's very important for me to make a statement.

Life is so much more rewarding if you strive for something, rather than take what's given to you on a plate.

Every bad situation is a blues song waiting to happen.

Life happens. There is no point in being upset or down about things we can't control or change.

I don’t need help because if I can’t help myself I can’t be helped.

Music is the only thing that will give and give and give and not take.

If you don't throw yourself into something, you'll never know what you could have had.

Dance with the waves of sea and sing with the sky, touch the sands with love and let your mind fly high.

Some stories end in despair, some begin there

If you have the opportunity to help, then you have the responsibility to do it, do what is right simply because it is the right thing to do

Candor is the brightest gem of criticism.

TV is all about hair. And then skin. And then clothing. And then it's about your voice. And finally the report, what you're actually saying. And 99 times out of 100, it never gets past the hair.

But I guess everything in life is a bit disappointing, isn't it?

Just because something 'is' doesn't mean that it should be.

Present unhappiness is selfish; past sorrow is compassionate.

Nothing crushes freedom as substantially as a tank.

There is no degree of human suffering which in and of itself is going to bring about change. Only organisation can change things.
