It's amazing to see places like Madison Square Garden on the schedule again.

It's a nonstop schedule, really. I had lost myself somewhere.

When you're in a band that's so big when you're young, you kind of lose your identity a little bit. You just become part of the band. I just needed to get away from it.

It was great fun. We had gone on tour in between the sessions and reconnected with the audience and got a lot of energy back from them, a lot of positive energy.

I was burned out. I think I was just exhausted. It was a very intense five years. We didn't stop. It was constant touring, constant writing, recording.

Some people even went off to form another band, Power Station.

We're very lucky to be able to go back and reclaim something that was a very special part of all our lives.

I guess when we were up against it, we knew this album was going to be compared to all the classic early material, because it was going back to the original five.

You never know how you're going to be received, after all this time. The initial response we had was just overwhelming, particularly that tour of the States.

Everybody was on the same page. Nobody has really gone out there on a different musical journey. When we got back together again, we all wanted to do the same kind of music.

I lived a normal life for a number of years. I had kids. I lived up on a farm in Gloucestershire in rural England, and just kind of got back to reality again.

It's amazing to see places like Madison Square Garden on the schedule again.

Nick and Simon had come to a natural end of their working relationship with Warren, which obviously opened the door for a reunion of the original five.

As Andy says, being in this band in the early 1980s made you feel like you were part of a pizza. We were always one of the band, one of Duran Duran, or one of the Taylors.

I like Target. I like the ones in the Midwest, personally. We don't really have those in England yet.

Sometimes the problem is not the people in the band, but the people around the band.

The bar was very high-we had to really make sure that we got what we really wanted, that it was a real finished album. We weren't going to give up until we got that.

Seven and the Ragged Tiger took six months to record and finish.

I slowly started to drift back into music again. I finally got the call from John... about getting the band back together again. It was so out of the blue. I almost thought that the moment had passed.

We still seem to trigger that intensity in people, which was quite incredible.

At some of the venues, the audience was so loud we could hardly hear what was happening on stage, which kind of threw us back to 1983, when we had very similar reactions on a much bigger scale.

I want to thank all the fans for their support over the years. Keep supporting the Knicks, we're moving in the right direction here and we will be exciting to watch and competing against the best in the NBA. Come back to the Garden for those exciting games.

Public opinion polls are rather like children in a garden, digging things up all the time to see how they're growing.

Americans admire a people who can scratch a desert and produce a garden. The Israelis have shown qualities that Americans identify with: guts, patriotism, idealism, a passion for freedom. I have seen it. I know. I believe that.

Do you know that charming part of our country which has been called the garden of France - that spot where, amid verdant plains watered by wide streams, one inhales the purest air of heaven?

So she went into the garden to cut a cabbage-leaf, to make an apple-pie; and at the same time a great she-bear, coming up the street, pops its head into the shop. 'What! no soap?' So he died, and she very imprudently married the barber.

If there is to be any hope of prosperity for this country it is by reversing that policy which made us simply the kitchen garden for supplying the British with cheap food.

There may be fairies at the bottom of the garden. There is no evidence for it, but you can't prove that there aren't any, so shouldn't we be agnostic with respect to fairies?

With a few flowers in my garden, half a dozen pictures and some books, I live without envy.

God the first garden made, and the first city Cain.

There's always the hyena of morality at the garden gate, and the real wolf at the end of the street.

The glory of gardening: hands in the dirt, head in the sun, heart with nature. To nurture a garden is to feed not just on the body, but the soul.

I wake up some mornings and sit and have my coffee and look out at my beautiful garden, and I go, 'Remember how good this is. Because you can lose it.'

A garden is to be a world unto itself, it had better make room for the darker shades of feeling as well as the sunny ones.

Show me your garden and I shall tell you what you are.

To dwell is to garden.

The best place to find God is in a garden. You can dig for him there.

Little Sparta is a garden in the traditional sense. It is perhaps not like other modern gardens, but I think that other times would have had no difficulty with it.

Mostly, I spend my time being a mother to my two children, working in my organic garden, raising masses of sweet peas, being passionately involved in conservation, recycling and solar energy.

We must cultivate our own garden. When man was put in the garden of Eden he was put there so that he should work, which proves that man was not born to rest.

Won't you come into the garden? I would like my roses to see you.

Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?

I think of marriage as a garden. You have to tend to it. Respect it, take care of it, feed it. Make sure everyone is getting the right amount of, um, sunlight.

There are fairies at the bottom of our garden.

A garden is a complex of aesthetic and plastic intentions; and the plant is, to a landscape artist, not only a plant - rare, unusual, ordinary or doomed to disappearance - but it is also a color, a shape, a volume or an arabesque in itself.

A garden must combine the poetic and he mysterious with a feeling of serenity and joy.

The weeds keep multiplying in our garden, which is our mind ruled by fear. Rip them out and call them by name.

Garden as though you will live forever.

Well tended garden is better than a neglected wood lot.
