It's hard to know exactly what it sounds like to me. I'm in the studio and I write it. and that's it.

I am affected by what is around. I don't think many people would admit that.

My current project is my band, Population 1. We are writing, rehearsing and playing in Los Angeles.

Who needs fan mail when you have the Internet?

Half the bands I guarantee wouldn't at this point want Nuno to open for them.

Having a baby is one of the most wonderful things in your life, as well as the hardest thing in your life.

Even with Extreme, I don't think you have a choice but to sort of have somewhat of an influence of the times.

The touring part is really mixed. You love to play and you can't wait to go, but you don't want to leave.

I always imagine later on these songs I could've played with a band, but it never worked out that way.

I definitely get affected by new stuff. There's a lot of older influences, but there's also newer stuff too.

As opposed to touring for three years and then going into the studio and writing an album, I think this record is representative of a lot of everyday people.

Obviously the biggest change is that it's me by myself. When you don't have another band interpreting your songs or playing them the way that they have, it's bound to sound different.

Live are a really good band. I like Stone Temple Pilots, Radiohead I love. Even Oasis.

I think I'm a music fan before anything else.

When you are in this business and this career, it's hard for any one thing to engulf you.

It's just a bunch of songs. I'm not trying to cure any major disease.

As much as you put into it is as much as you get out of it.

I never record anything like a demo, I just go for it.

There's two facets to writing a song. There's you sitting in your room writing the sentiments of the song; the lyrics, the melody and the changes, and then there's the part where you go into the studio and you put clothing on it.

It's hard to know exactly what it sounds like to me. I'm in the studio and I write it. and that's it.

I wanted to do the whole album in black and white, and it really killed me that when you see it in the light it's got green in it. I don't know what the hell that was about.

A band is like a marriage - you don't know why it works, but when it does, everything feels right.

Having a baby is one of the most wonderful things in your life as well as the hardest thing in your life.

The vote is a trust more delicate than any other, for it involves not just the interests of the voter, but his life, honor and future as well.

My mindset is of the person who is still unsure whether they have enough money in their ATM to go to another bar. I lived that way when I was unemployed, when I was a snowboard instructor, and when I was at NYU. A lot of my personality is stuck in those five years, and I don't know if that's ever gonna change.

I guess I'm reasonably confident in all honesty. But I definitely don't think I'm arrogant. I'm pretty down to earth, I mean I'm genuinely down to earth.

If we have the opportunity to be generous with our hearts we have no idea of the depth and breadth of loves reach.

Having my baby fall asleep in my arms takes away all of my worries and stresses. A sense of complete and total peace comes over me.

You will know your vocation by the joy that it brings you. You will know. You will know when it's right.

To disregard what the world thinks of us is not only arrogant but utterly shameless.

As far as performance, the roar of the crowd, the smell of the greasepaint no I don't feel that.

I do a film because I like the story and I want to give life to a character - I don't necessarily have to agree with the director.

Most people talk; we do things. They plan; we achieve. They hesitate; we move ahead. We are living proof that when human beings have the courage and commitment to transform a dream into reality, there is nothing that can stop them.

I can write music but I'm not much for words.

I think what we need is a more welcoming mode from the people who put on a hundred million country-western shows on television. How about a monthly jazz show?

A straw vote only shows which way the hot air blows.

It's hard to measure up to 'Battlestar' - it's hard not to measure things against it.

Man's greatness lies in his power of thought.

I actually like working with the other three actors on the show.

People always seem to assume that we have a full, back-up support team - make-up, costume and a driver - but usually, in a war zone, there's only me and the cameraman.

So many tangles in life are ultimately hopeless that we have no appropriate sword other than laughter.

I try to focus on what I'm supposed to do, and to do my job the best I can. I kind of let everything happen the way it's supposed to happen, let everything fall into place the way it should.

I learned the enormous power of writing for yourself, especially now that people seem to be receptive to the fact that women can write.

The 1970s crystallized the service mantra as we now know it.

For me, socialism has always been about liberty and solidarity, but also about responsibility.

The establishment, the newspapers, they try to create something called Scottish literature, but when people are actually going to write, they are not going to necessarily prescribe to that, they'll write what they feel.

I refrained from writing another one, thinking to myself: Never mind, I will prove that I am able to become a greater scientist than some of you, even without the title of doctor.
