Whichever age you are, that's the best age. I'm a very "now" person.

All your travelling is together, you eat together, you're on stage as a band together, when you get to the sound-check the band and the crew are all together.

Classical, Romantic, and Baroque music, that's what I really like.

When you're on tour you definitely don't want lots of arguments. It's very important that everybody gets on because you're in close proximity a great deal of the time.

I am constantly being told that I have been a big influence for many people, including other musicians.

Right from day one, you know when you've written a good song.

Inspiration doesn't really work like that - you're not looking out for it. Inspiration is something that tends to capture you rather than you capture it.

It's a very organic process, and it has a specific order to it. I love to write, and once you've written, then you arrange. After the arrangement, you record it, and then you tour it.

This band - because this is myself on electric and acoustic guitars - we've done three tours together now and I really, really like it which is why I did the DVD as well.

To every bad there's a good and to every good there's a bad. And both are pertinent to the lessons of life, and the building of your character or individuality.

Unfortunately there is no vaccination to protect the soul from the menacing disease of social ignorance manifested by character-void homosapiens.

Managed funds are astonishingly tax-inefficient.

I am working never to be late again.

Like any other living, growing thing, love requires effort to keep it healthy.

A man can reach into anything and turn it to his cause. It's not want, or desire, just certainty. Only be assured that whatever you reach into will reach into you in turn.

A system, artificially stabilized, and of course you have hidden risks under the surface, and you don't know where the risks are.

But on a clear, sunny day? How would she know to flee when she couldn't see any place for danger to hide?

God is a businessman. He is not going to do business with someone who shows no sign of potential return. He invests in people who demonstrate an ability to handle what He has given them.
