Maybe if my songs feel personal, that's very nice. I like that. I take that as a great compliment.

Come up and be a kite, On a diamond flight!

Everyone of us has a heaven inside.

I just know that something good is going to happen. I don't know when - but just saying it could even make it happen.

Its so fascinating to think about how each snowflake is completely individual - there are millions and millions of them, but each one is so unique.

I love the whirling of the dervishes. I love the beauty of rare innocence. You don't need no crystal ball, Don't fall for a magic wand. We humans got it all, we perform the miracles.

I had friends but I was spending a great deal of my time alone and for me that was vital because there's an awful lot you learn about yourself when you're alone.

What am I singing? A song of seeds The food of love. Eat the music.

I spend a lot of my time looking at blue, The colour of my room and my mood.

I don’t know you, And you don’t know me. It is this that brings us together.

Now I'm a glorified bureaucrat holding on by my fingernails as we all slide into super-powered chaos. A voice of reason in a world gone mad.

As a child, I was raised with my grandmother, alongside all my cousins, and the kitchen was always full.

All my life I have been taught to take the high road and never to dignify salacious or false accusations and I have been taught never, never to lie.

Do you want to tell the truth, or do you want to tell a story?

The people I want to hear about are the people who take risks.

I think the human race has no future if it doesn't go into space.

Fear and prejudice put up a terrible fight when they sense change coming.

Who then can calculate the path of the molecule? how do we know that the creations of worlds are not determined by the fall of grains of sand?
