I was fine with everything except Maths. I was terrible at Maths.

There were a few 6th form girls that I got with when I was I the 6th form, they were really nice, so that was cool.

The Busted thing happened when I was 16. I saw an opportunity, took it and it was better than being at school. It was a fun job but I'd never claim Busted was anything other than a pop band.

Busted is not the ideal band I'd like to be in by any stretch of the imagination.

I love my girlfriend to bits. I'd never do anything to hurt her.

I started to hate fame, I didn't want to go out, because I didn't want to be recognised for what I was being recognised for.

I understand how hard rock fans feel inside out, because I was one of those people.

I wanted to play music. I didn't think about where it would go or what it would do.

I wouldn't go back and change anything.

I'm incredibly proud of everything that we've achieved in Busted. We've enjoyed some of the best times in our lives together.

I'm living my dream.

I'm spreading my wings at last.

I've got so many musical personalities, I could probably get treatment for it.

I've lived my career backwards - I started off huge and I've got smaller and more personal, and I'm much more comfortable now.

I've taken my destiny into my own hands and I'm in a happy place.

It was a fun job but I'd never claim Busted was anything other than a pop band.

Lots of people say to me, 'I completely hate Busted'. That's completely cool with me. I understand why.

My life now could not be better.

Pop is in a shocking state at the moment.

Really young kids are into guitars.

Experience shows that success is due less to ability than to zeal.

Ambitious failure, magnificent failure, is a very good thing.

I was born in New York City on a cold January night when the water pipes in our apartment froze and burst. Fortunately, my mother was in the hospital rather than at home at the time.

I was a big Michael Jordan fan growing up. I don't feel my game resembles his though.

Readers are made by readers - it is so obvious it is almost banal to say it.

I don't want to suggest that controlling pharmaceutical costs is the answer to what ails the U.S. health care system. It isn't.

I rarely return to characters. My characters, at least most of them, are much more a part of that superorganism that is the story than separate and independent creatures.

I wasn't one to go out and buy a new car and stereo system and expensive clothes. My mom helped keep me grounded.

Genius is only a great aptitude for patience.

It wasn't conscious, but I guess that one book is the reaction to the other. The first is so imprisoned in a male point-of-view, and the second is a point-of-view that can go anywhere it wants.

Ask me about the challenge of becoming as good at music as I am at motorsport, and I have to say: my career has been racing, and I don't plan on music becoming my next career.

Some believe all that parents, tutors, and kindred believe. They take their principles by inheritance, and defend them as they would their estates, because they are born heirs to them.

Everything vanishes around me, and works are born as if out of the void. Ripe, graphic fruits fall off. My hand has become the obedient instrument of a remote will.

Let your mind be quiet, realizing the beauty of the world, and the immense boundless treasures that it holds.

Our enemy of international terrorism respects no laws of warfare or morality, and its individual members take innocent lives, just to create chaos for news cameras.

We sleep safely at night because rough men stand ready to visit violence on those who would harm us.

Some of these guys wear beards to make them look intimidating but they dont look so tough when they have to deliver the ball. Their abilities and their attitudes dont back up their beards.

It's easy to make fun of AOL's pending purchase of HuffPo. Just like AOL's purchase of TimeWarner, here we have a new media company - Huffington Post - fooling an old media company, AOL, into overpaying for something that has already peaked.

When you suddenly become successful, the change is enormous, both financially and in terms of recognition and the way people treat you. I found that hard to deal with. I got very guilty about it, and I think I put up obstacles to prevent myself enjoying it.

I'm not a great science fiction fan myself. I probably feel that way about Westerns. Like I used to play Cowboys and Indians, they can act out Will and the Robot.

Fantasy is my favorite genre for reading and writing. We have more options than anyone else, and the best props and special effects. That means if you want to write a fantasy story with Norse gods, sentient robots, and telepathic dinosaurs, you can do just that. Want to throw in a vampire and a lesbian unicorn while you're at it? Go ahead.

With a play, there's more of a definable arc because of the nature of theater: You know, there's no editing, so there's something more natural about the arc a character follows in a play. I think theater is more an actor's medium, whereas film is more a director's medium, because that's who controls the final feel of the film.

A lot of readers want characters to behave in a responsible way, or they want to understand the characters' dilemma and act, in a way, on their behalf.

Sugar is responsible for a lot of deaths. Arguably more than crack cocaine.
