There are no musically untalented people.

The most unique thing about music making is sharing.

If an artist tells you "this is an oak tree," then it better be an oak tree. It's how you proclaim things; if you say "the silence is the music," then it's the music.

Musical talent is maybe something, but there are no unmusical people. You're moved by music. It's total rubbish to say, "Oh, I'm unmusical." It doesn't exist; it's ridiculous.

You never know what you're going to share. I can play, I know what is written - the marks, the things the composer tells me to do - and I do it, but it will still sound different each day.

I'm not good at texting because I'm an older generation, old school. And nobody ever listens to the answering machine anymore. It's terrible.

People can text with two hands and are so fast and I am not... I just have that one person I want to talk to.

I'm much better at saying something on the answering machine than texting.

I have one guy that I really have to talk to once a day, and if I don't talk to him once a day, I really feel like something is not completed. This is, like, an attraction story.

I think after music is performance because it is also an immaterial form of art, and then there's everything else.

I always talk about the hierarchy of art, and I always put music on the top of everything, because it's so immaterial.

Son, don't mind what's missing. Count allthat's free: friendship, laughter, all thelove your heart can carry, and time -- count time.

Country must confront what he called institutional racism. [We should] create a country which provides economic, social and environmental justice for all.

Jimmy Snuka stood up, 25 feet in the air, drove his knee through my ribs, but did I allow them to carry me out on a strecher? NO! I got right up and walked out!

Charlize Theron and Cate Blanchett are very good actresses.

If there was one thing I refused to be, it was an insignificant footnote in some boy's history.

My respect for the inconsiderable is assuming gigantic dimensions.

The best of us would rather be popular than right.

What makes me feel old is having no hair on the top of my head.

Please remember that how you say something is often more important than what you say.

Advent is patience it's how God has made us a people of promise, in a world of impatience.
