You never undertake a project because you think other people will like it - because that way lies madness - but rather because you believe in it.

Life is easy greediness adds complexity

Twitter has restored my faith in humanity. I thought I'd hate it, but while there are lots of knobheads, there are even more lovely people. It delights me how witty and friendly most people are.

I'm not a people person. I'm not sociable. I have been and I can be, but not as a general rule.

I used to be mouthy. It was all to do with being a northerner and from Manchester, which was suddenly a big deal when I was in my 20s. When I read some of the interviews I did back then, I cringe.

Patience is the training in abiding with the restlessness of our energy and letting things evolve at their own speed.

If one person comes in and says, this is the way life should be, I think you're asking for chaos. I think you gotta let different people live different ways. It's a big world.

Most of my friends that I know now [were sexually assaulted] stayed silent. And I see that still happening today. A lot of women will stay silent and not share what happened to them.

He's a world-famous name to people who care about his music, but there are many people who have never heard of George Gershwin and those numbers increase.

General, you don't have a war plan! All you have is a kind of horrible spasm!

Worship strengthens you. It gives you a sense of God's presence and ultimately His protection and provision.
