I feel like I have a skill set, but every experience is different and there's always room for improvement.

I met this homeless man who had never owned a shirt in his life. He had taken his pants and worn them as a shirt and I thought it was so creative. He was liberated from the conventions of fashion.

The human community is evolving... . We can survive anything you care to mention. We are supremely equipped to survive, to adapt and even in the long run to start thinking.

Unslumping yourself is not easily done.

I love my children unconditionally.

I love soul music, that's my real love in life and in whatever shape or form it is.

I think you can have 10,000 explanations for failure, but no good explanation for success.

Without one friend, above all foes, Britannia gives the world repose.
