Yesterday I was playing Beethovens fifth, because I love that.

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.

You're at your best, when you're focused and you're serious and passionate about what you do, but at the same time you can relax and have fun and be confident.

My teeth became sour as I listened to his story. It was then that I understood why he was quiet all the time.

There’s never a wrong idea. You just keep throwing stuff out and inevitably there are elements of different things that inspire a character or environment.

I don't care how much money you have, free stuff is always a good thing.

President Obama's fight for rural America is personal. He was raised by a single mom and grandparents from Kansas. He hails from a farming state, Illinois.
