Some people are good cooks and some people are good... I don't see why you have to do all of that.

I was kind of pathetic. That's what got me playing out in the street. I ran out of money and needed more gin for the night.

I don't care too much for thinking about the past. The truth is just another story. You can remember it any way you want; it's never gonna be the same twice.

I've been playing one way or another since I was about three years old. I don't remember not knowing how to play any instruments.

I don't think music is an art any more than cooking food is an art.

Some guy is good at putting these verses together, and some guy is good at singing them. That's just the way it is.

I'm just a guy that sings songs because that's what he likes to do, I guess.

I wouldn't consider myself a songwriter at all. Maybe I piece together a certain little thing here and there, but songwriters are people who do this with sheet music.

I don't associate much with anybody. I'm not big on all the teachings and groups and being a part of something, I guess.

I was born or raised in the church, so I guess the first songs I would have played would have been church songs.

I just started playing music on the street and walking around with a fiddle, and I think that's kind of when I started being serious - or as serious as it's going to get.

Someday, I hope that we will all be patriots of our planet and not just of our respective nations.

The bravest thing you can do when you are not brave is to profess courage and act accordingly.

In the beginning was the word, but it wasn't a fixed number of bits.

It's like an open mark [for the terrorists], do whatever you wanna do, nothing's gonna happen. Take our youth out of the country, infiltrate our country in so many different ways.

If I choose to devote myself to certain labors which yield more real profit, though but little money, they may be inclined to look on me as an idler.

I miss my friends in public school, but it's kind of a part of something that you have to give up. I'd rather perform than go to public school.

There's a Marvel superhero called Black Bolt & his real name is Blackagar Boltagon & that really tells you a lot about superhero comics.

Irish women are always carrying water on their heads, and always carrying their husbands home from pubs. Such things are the greatest posture-builders in the world.

England is strictly class-based. What's surprising is how many films are still made with a load of people in silly frocks running around gardens and talking in middle-class accents.

Time has changed and now is the age of spending.
