Reality TV finds talented people. There are no scripts. The editing is what it's all about. Great editing makes those shows.

Everybody likes a roller coaster ride.

I thought if Oasis could get away with sounding like The Beatles, I could get away with sounding like Abba.

There's a certain edge about cruelty. If you're honest about it, most people wince, but say it had to be said.

It is dishonest the way that people suddenly think they've found guitars, and wear their guitar as a badge.

Reality TV is here, it's been here really since the Carol Levis Discovery Show in 1957. It's never changed. It just looks a bit different.

Certainly in the modern age where everything is glossed over, when somebody speaks their mind, the majority of the public go, I'd love to have said that.

I'm not going to say that every record I've put out was the greatest record in history, but I'd stand by even the bad ones. Don't make excuses, make hits.

I think that's where reality TV works - you don't know where it's going.

I don't mind losing, but I don't like losing to cheats.

The public are not stupid.

Mindfulness allows us to shift the angle on our story and to remember that we have the capacity to learn and change in ways that are productive, not self-defeating.

Sometimes opportunities float right past your nose. Work hard, apply yourself, and be ready. When an opportunity comes you can grab it.

When you see beauty all around you, beauty will seek and find you, even in the most unexpected places.

Flowers are a proud assertion that a ray of beauty out values all the utilities of the world. If dandelions were hard to grow, they would be most welcome on any lawn.

This social-networking thing takes you to crazy places.

St. Peter, on my judgment day, will not ask me about the B-2 or my defense votes. He will ask me about my vote to protect innocent human life.

Life is simple. Everything happens for you, not to you. Everything happens at exactly the right moment, neither too soon nor too late. You don't have to like it... it's just easier if you do.

If you are made for flight, intended for it, you had better find a pursuer, fast. Otherwise, all that fleeing is going nowhere.

I'm not so interested in how they move as in what moves them.

Most people know what to do, but they don't do what they know - because they haven't found their inner drive. Their passion.
