I would like a bit of me - that’s how I put my back out!

We're terrible at realising what goes on in other people's heads because we are trapped inside our own.

Have your cake and eat it... there's no other reason to have a cake

I control the conditions so my testers become my testees.

The single most valuable human trait, the one quality every schoolchild and adult should be taught to nurture, is, quite simply, kindness.

To impress people as much as we would wish, we would first need to successfully adopt each of their value systems

...there is a fine line between wishing to produce child-like astonishment and treating people like infants.

The desire to impress is an efficient means of bringing out one’s least impressive qualities.

We forget our health and comfort and notice a pinching shoe. Much of living well is detaching from our boring stories of pain and shifting focus

Magic is a performance, and a performance should have an honesty, a relevance and a resonance if it is to be offered to spectators without insulting them.

I am often dishonest in my techniques ... I happily admit to cheating, it's all part of the game. I hope some of the fun for the viewer comes from not knowing what's real and what isn't

I find it rather depressing that the people you love most in this world can also be the same exact people you hate with fervor. But it can happen, trust me.It was the f***ing story of my life.

In the river swam the gleaming fish, which were meant for water, just as humankind is meant for love.

I was the little guy who knew how to tie a necktie. It came from having absentee parents. They were tremendously loving and caring people who, by circumstance, had to go to work.

Saints and ordinary folks are the same from the start. Inquiring about a difference is like asking to borrow string when you've got a good strong rope. Every Dharma is known in the heart.

For me, I think the only danger is being too much in love with guitar playing. The MUSIC is the most important thing, and the guitar is only the instrument.

I strive to create drum samples that have a variety of engineering and capturing options in order to build a unique drum sound.

We don't want to be like the leader in the French Revolution who said There go my people, I must find out where they are going so I can lead them.

People who talk a lot about their victimization make me uncomfortable. It's as if they use their suffering as weapons or badges of some kind.

There are reasons, and then there are excuses.

I am a big fan of photography, more of being behind the camera - so when I get the opportunity to work with such great photographers, I always try and learn from their technique.
