Jazz was always cool. That was what I liked about jazz - it was always cool. Now I see the cats that were basically cool getting kind of uncool. So that ruins what I feel about jazz.

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.

We write from life and call it literature, and literature lives because we are in it.

Instead of this confusion, we need the unifying force of an official language, English, which is the language of success in America.

Fun, like champagne bubbles, can't completely fill you up.

My health is good and it's up to me to keep it that way.

More than anything, being an English major made me more appreciative of authors and what an incredible feat it is to just finish a novel, let alone a really brilliant one.

Tidied all my papers. Tore up and ruthlessly destroyed much. This is always a great satisfaction.

Technological advances could allow us to see more clearly into our own lives.

We must devastate the avenues where the wealthy live

Plunge into the deep without fear, with the gladness of April in your heart.
