My daughter is my greatest gift and, not to be corny, but my greatest teacher.

If you're doing something new there is always a sense of fear or foreboding, but you're in new ground and you have to get out your machete and cut a new path.

I feel like music is oceanic - there's no end to what you can discover.

The people who are going into music who hunger, they're going into pop music. There are some badass women who are ambitious and hungry and brave, and they're in pop.

I write to find out about how the world sings.

I'd been trained as a classical musician, but also as a pop musician. My teacher made sure that everything was available.

I have never relied on anyone else for money since I graduated, and that made me feel grown up.

My early life was full of music because my sisters played the piano and I started playing at three.

I think there are some things in music that work and don't work. That's learned from counterpoint and rhythm and theory, and they don't work if you don't want them to work.

When it was all overthe centuries startedto roll by and history was writtenby thosewith no storiesmisery turned into myth and figures of speech played catalyst to happiness

The beauty of women was the first expression of my photography.

Early happiness handicaps people. I do not regret having been profoundly unhappy.

It's not the destination, It's the glory of the ride.

True fans stick behind bands through thick and thin and we've been lucky enough to have some amazing fans.

We must create our own world.

It is easier to say new things than to reconcile those which have already been said.

The days have taught you not to trust happiness because it hurts when it deceives.

Today my winged horse is coming and I am carrying you off to the moon and on the moon we will eat rose petals.

I was always Luke because I had blond hair, and my mate Stu was Han. Han was the cool one. The Jedi were never the cool ones.
