"The more I live, the more I learn The more I learn, the more I realize, the less I know"

Like a circle in a spiral Like a wheel within a wheel Never ending or beginning On an ever-spinning reel As the images unwind Like the circles that you find In the windmills of your mind.

I insist on a Steinway for my recordings, my concerts and my home. It is the only piano I want to hear my music played on.

So I write melodies - thirty, forty, fifty - then I cast them off until I have just two or three. If only one is needed, I go see the director and ask him to decide.

Here is how I work: when I think that a film needs to have a principal theme, I search for a melody.

I would listen to something on the radio and try to tap out the melody, then the harmonies.

To play piano is a significant part of my life, my existence. It fulfills a very physical & spiritual need for me.

I have a very strange melodic gift: melodies come to me effortlessly.

The more I live, the more I learn. The more I learn, the more I realize, the less I know.

You like it in jail?It's not too bad. You don't meet the best people, but who the hell wants to?

Every player wants to be as complete as possible and goals for a central midfielder are very important.

Some people can do things and get away with it. Comics are famously like that. Why is it that some guys can say the most horrible things and it's not offensive, it's funny?

In politics, victory is never total.

That invisible hand of Adam Smith seems to offer an extended middle finger to an awful lot of people.

When I'm explaining something to you, if I'm being long-winded, and twisty in a non-productive way, I could make you feel vaguely insulted. And you'd have a right to be.

I'm training all the time. My goal is perfection. But I will never reach perfection.

It's a holy city for music.

I'm not homosexual, I'm not hetrosexual, I'm just sexual.

Lord I'm Doing All I Can To Be A Better Man.
