I'm disappearing, avoiding most things.

I wasn't always this introverted.

I'd like to be rich. I'd like a lot of money to put into my physicals and to buy food for all my friends.

Have you seen the roses? There's a whole lot of colours.

The only work I've done the last two years is interviews. I'm very good at it.

Living in Cambridge, with nature and everything, it's so clean.

I'm disappearing, avoiding most things.

I don't really read a lot. Maybe I should.

I've just had an operation, but nothing too serious.

I'm treading the backward path. Mostly, I just waste my time.

If I'd stayed at college I would have become a teacher.

It's always been too slow for me. Playing. The pace of things. I'm a fast sprinter. The trouble was, after playing in the group for a few months, I couldn't reach that point.

Getting used to the studio and everything was fun, we freaked about alot. I was working very hard then.

I like songs that are simple.

When we parted I had written everything for the group. My leaving sort of evened things out within the group.

I do tend to take lines from other lines I like, and then write around them.

I don't think I'm easy to talk about. I've got a very irregular head. And I'm not anything that you think I am anyway.

I never felt so close to a guitar as that silver one with mirrors that I used on stage all the time.

I think young people should have a lot of fun. But I never seem to have any.

Fairy-tales are nice.

A lot of people want to make films and do photography and things, but I'm quite happy doing what I'm doing.

I think it's good if a song has more than one meaning. Maybe that kind of song can reach far more people.

I'm full of dust and guitars.

I'm sorry I can't speak very coherently.

And I think for me there's a lot of neurosis involved with where you should be or thinking about where you are all the time instead of being where you are.

The Chinese government is quickly losing its ideological legitimacy, maintain its rule with force, but cannot draw strength from the ideology of Marx and Mao.

I don't desire happiness. I think it's a myth, and I don't think it's... and it makes you complacent. I feel very satisfyingly uncomfortable. I have the freedom to feel uncomfortable in the way I want to, is maybe a way to put it.

The kind of funny irony is that a lot of people talk about ethical meat eating as if it's a way to care about things, but also not to alienate yourself from the rest of the world. But it's so much more alienating than vegetarianism.

I would really love to work with Clint Eastwood.

You might not be able to control your circumstances, but you can control your response to your circumstances.

The father of a daughter is nothing but a high-class hostage. A father turns a stony face to his sons, berates them, shakes his antlers, paws the ground, snorts, runs them off into the underbrush, but when his daughter puts her arm over his shoulder and says, 'Daddy, I need to ask you something,' he is a pat of butter in a hot frying pan.

The real Antichrist is he who turns the wine of an original idea into the water of mediocrity.

I like to walk around my apartment naked. I like sitting around in the nude watching sports, actually.

Well, I affirm orthodox Christian faith. I affirm the Nicene Creed. I don't think I'm doing anything terribly new.

Im just the smallest dot in a big map of human history.

Obviously I'm very disappointed. I trained very hard this summer and felt in a good shape to play the U.S. Open.

We like no noise unless we make it ourselves.

Accordingly, one race is neither superior nor inferior to another.

I was 36 when I played Nicholas Nickleby.

The sting of losing is bad.

You ought to try surviving one of my family reunions. Its like having a bowling alley in your brain.

Physical strength is measured by what we carry. Inner strength is measured by what we can bear

My cat Isabella, she doesn't get along with anyone else. She's kind of like me: like, very anti-social and fierce. So we speak to each other on a spiritual level, and we cuddle every night. So it's pretty serious.

I have been in Congress for more than a half century. I have lived through times of fear and times of hope. Of despair and of achievement. I have seen our government at its best, but today I fear that we see our government at its worst.

Three Royal Air Force aeroplanes have come over to us so far with their arms and equipment.

North Carolina needs to revamp the tax code completely. We have some of the highest tax rates, like the corporate tax rate, in the country.

Never laugh at live dragons.

Not houses finely roofed or the stones of walls well builded, nay nor canals and dockyards make the city, but men able to use their opportunity.
