More and more people seem to be separating from nature. I'm trying to go in a different direction. I'm getting closer and closer.

I don't want to die, but I'm ok putting it all out there for the most beautiful expression of my life.

We who walk the narrow line have stood for free thinking for thousands of years. Let us continue balancing within the world as we try to understand the space between.

I don't have a lot of pressure on myself to be successful. I'm more of an artist. I just try to make myself more a part of the most beautiful painting as possible. And enjoy it.

People are voting for Conservatives in greater numbers, but it's not translating into Conservative seats.

I would not have thought of eating a meal without drinking a beer.

Remember praise is more valuable than blame.

Mick Jagger and I just really liked each other a lot. We talked all night. We had the same views on nuclear disarmament.

I'll try if I know all the things I used to know. Let me see: four times five is twelve, and four times six is thirteen, and four times seven is - oh dear! I shall never get to twenty at that rate!

Man is endowed by nature with organic relations to his fellow men; and natural impulse prompts him to consider the needs of others even when they compete with his own.

I understand English; I read and write English perfectly, but the accent won't go away.
