Apparently, there's this whole set of disgruntled people but obviously it's not my intention to offend anyone by changing the style of music that I've done.

When I began my career, I was constantly referred to as the kid who could play the blues.

Yeah, touring can get rough some times and draining, but I always have to pinch myself and realize that I'm doing what I love.

My dad was good friends with the Bad Medicine Blues Band - one of the only blues bands in Fargo, as you can imagine! He took me out to see them play when I was 12 years old and I was really inspired by their guitar player, Ted Larsen.

During a big rock show, you can flub a few things and nobody will hear it, because it gets buried under everything else.

I think the people at my record label know I'm a Christian and again, I've been really blessed that I've never had to get into a head-butt war over moral standards or anything like that.

I'm not a fast, stream-of-consciousness lyricist at all - I know some guys who are, and if there is one skill I wish I had, it's that.

Apparently, there's this whole set of disgruntled people but obviously it's not my intention to offend anyone by changing the style of music that I've done.

I have an awesome church home and an awesome Pastor down in L.A., and I couldn't be happier.

I hope that it can relate to and be a blessing to anybody, with the hope that someday they will find Jesus Christ to be the same God that I've found Him to be.

I think I'm more influenced, just in general, not by blues artists, but more by stuff from Curtis Mayfield, Stevie Wonder. Stevie Wonder is probably my biggest musical influence of all. And Donny Hathaway.

I've been getting into different gospel artists; Aretha Franklin is someone I've been listening to a lot of.

I've probably gone a month or two without playing guitar, just because I've gotten so burnt on it touring all year or whatever.

It's an honor to win a Grammy, of course.

Probably my favorite artists to listen to James Taylor, Stevie Wonder - I haven't gone back in a really long time and really listened to them - my first guitar influences. It's been awhile since I revisited that.

I truly loved you, but now I'm walking away.

Sometimes, his methods and his motives are questionable and even his morals are questionable in the way he does things. But I think his intention is always to protect his daughter.

And there's a lot of that stuff with people bringing their kids, kids bringing their parents, people bringing their grandparents - I mean, it's gotten to be really stretched out now. It was never my intention to say, this is the demographics of our audience.

It is my intention to present - through the medium of photography - intuitive observations of the natural world which may have meaning to the spectators.

A purpose, an intention, a design, strikes everywhere even the careless, the most stupid thinker.

So that is how I ended up with those two titles, I like Accidentally on Purpose better - it is how we work in our trade - is it really an accident, or is there a thread of destiny in there? That was the intention, I am not sure I found out.

The smallest deed is better than the grandest intention.

The rain began again. It fell heavily, easily, with no meaning or intention but the fulfilment of its own nature, which was to fall and fall.

I have no intention of discussing my private life with anyone.

I don't have any friends and don't have any intention of making any. People will stab you in the back, mistreat you, talk about me behind your back, steal from you. And they're not really your friends. They're only there because you're a celebrity or because they want to get something from you.

He wanted to be a lawyer, couldn't afford it, so he started dealing to go to college - good intention.

It was to do with information management. The intention was to dramatise it.

It's understanding the intention of a composer that allows a producer and an arranger to make those moments speak.

There was absolutely no intention of splitting up. We had so many great ideas to use on the new album. John Paul Jones was incredible, coming to the studio each day with new instruments to play.

With this new album, I prepared for it a long time, and I was happy with the songs and the production. I felt that I proved myself with the first album, and with this new album, I just want to share some of my music. And that was always my feeling and my intention.

Intelligent analysis of the composer's intention and strict adherence to it automatically ensures sincerity.

Close to the Edge, Red, One of a kind, Discipline, Earthworks, The Sound of Surprise, all seem to me to be albums that captured the essence of the intention.

In laughter we always find an unavowed intention to humiliate and consequently to correct our neighbour.

On the subject of emigration, it is not my intention to dwell at any length.

Our intention is to really explore this transition and, beyond that, explore the particular things that someone comes up against when they're gay or lesbian.

The intention was to shoot short films that can exist as shorts independently, but when I put them all together, there are things that echo through them like the dialogue repeats; the situation is always the same, the way they're shot is very simple and the same.

Sometimes his methods are questionable, and even his morals are questionable, but his intention is always to protect Sydney. So in that way I think he's a good parent.

If I commit an error I do it without bad intention.

It is my intention to proceed slowly with our trenches.

My intention to lecture is as vague as my intention is to go on the stage. I will never consider an offer to lecture, not because I despise the vocation, but because I have no desire to appear on the public rostrum.

When a man says he approves of something in principle, it means he hasn't the slightest intention of carrying it out in practice.

One of the most amazing things I got from the film, so much green screen, there are so many moments and it really taught me about how important it is to have an intention when flying, when going somewhere and having an intention.

The joke of our time is the suicide of intention.

I used some vivid language that, if I could take it back, I'd take it back. It's not my intention to be personally critical of the President or of anyone else.

I may err in judgment, but I hope not in intention.

I have absolutely no intention of marrying Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.

Well, many of us believe that excessive media concentration is a subject that ought to be addressed, and it is, of course, the intention of the majority party not to allow that to be discussed.

I love more than anything looking at a movie scene by scene and seeing the intention behind it.

It is not good enough for things to be planned - they still have to be done; for the intention to become a reality, energy has to be launched into operation.
