When I use music on stage, the prime directive is to entertain the public, so it is different.

The more I read my Bible the more I veered away from the Jehovah's Witnesses.

I've got two places I like to be. Portugal is one.

What other people think of me is becoming less and less important; what they think of Jesus because of me is critical.

But Portugal has a peaceful feel about it. I sit on the terrace overlooking the vineyard there and I feel cut off from the world. You need that sort of thing.

I have a group of people, about 40, in a local church in Surrey in England, who pray for me regularly.

The more we depend on God the more dependable we find He is.

Someone recommended that I read the Bible, and it was then I discovered that I knew nothing about it.

When you use music to worship you are not attempting to entertain.

The nice thing about having relatives' kids around is that they go home.

I'm very grateful because my fans are very loyal.

There is no greater power than the one others do not believe you possess.

Call me crazy but I imagine a world where we smile when we have low batteries. Cuz that'll mean that we're one step closer to humanity.

In days of doubt, in days of dreary musings on my country's fate, you alone are my comfort and support, oh great, powerful, righteous, and free Russian language!

Beauty that shocks you, parts that none will trust, Wit that can creep, and pride that licks the dust.

In a gift economy, the more you give, the richer you are.

When I did the vocals, I always became so angry and pissed off.

Ideas have a short shelf life. You must act on them before the expiration date.

My parents are very quirky, eccentric. They have their own world.

Soho has got to be at its centre. It's got such a history for rock, pop, poetry, jazz, writers, all those things, and I think it should be valued as such, and protected as this centre for bohemia.

To know that you are a prisoner of your mind is the dawn of wisdom.
