I was pretty ambitious as a child to want to be a star with the talent I had, but I want to finish what I started and bring the fans along with me.

Enthusiasm and misplaced belief can take you a long way.

The fans have been great, they've stuck with me through a lot of hit-less years and I think they were as determined as I was that it was time to put an end to the lack of hits.

I went through a really low period about 13 years ago, when all aspects of my career and everything went completely wrong.

I wanted to be a huge star and I have failed.

There's no point in success if you don't let it go to your head. That's what it's for.

Every prosperous person who does not work has a creative scheme that does.

To draw something is to try to capture it FOREVER, if you really love something, you never try to keep it the way it is forever. You have to let it be free to change

Life hands us storms so we can paint rainbows.

Time is the father of truth, its mother is our mind.

I know it is easy to criticise and I accept it is a difficult job managing England but the man in charge must be passionate and realise he owes it to the nation to win the World Cup.

The problem is, there was plenty of trash talk during my presidency. A lot.

The queen was settling on the edge of the bed, ungainly with hesitation and at the same time exquisite in her grace, like a heron landing in a treetop.

The importance of a high moral code, which is at the foundation of the Scout movement, cannot be stressed too highly.

My kid is a year and a half old, and I just want to roll around on the floor with him for a little bit and have a normal relationship with my family.

Lives of great men all remind us greatness takes no easy way.
