Once again our cricketers have flattered to deceive in Australia.

The whole of our national sport is not doing very well.

Sympathetic cracks. A term frequently used by architects and surveyors in terms of ageing houses. I know what they mean.

I think we are all slightly down in the dumps after another loss. We may be in the wrong sign... Venus may be in the wrong juxtaposition with somewhere else.

Endless cricket, like endless anything else, simply grinds you down.

Once again our cricketers have flattered to deceive in Australia.

I was a kid with a lot of different, strange interests - kind of crazy.

Coach Wooden, when he speaks, you listen. I've taken a lot of things from him and his little blue book because to him, it's not just about basketball, it's about life as well.

Journalism is straying into entertainment. The lines between serious news segments, news entertainment, and news comedy are blurring.

I'm not a great flyer. It's ironic, since I'm in showbiz and have to fly at least twice a week. I try to sleep and blot it out.

My older son who is, I think, here tonight, is forty-one years old. Which is odd because so am I.

Art shows and the institutions end up being the couriers for culture for the next generation and are an important component as well. It may seem ironic from one perspective, but I think if you look at my overall strategy, it's actually not out of step.

Liberty University will not lend its name or financial support to undermine marriage or to promote abortion.

Playing the guitar, you kind of lock into a rhythm and a groove, and then it relaxes me to make up lyrics and sing.

In violent streets and broken homes, the cry of anguished souls is not for more laws but for more conscience and character.

I loved every second of Catholic church. I loved the sickly sweet rotting-pomegranate smells of the incense. I loved the overwrought altar, the birdbath of holy water, the votive candles; I loved that there was a poor box, the stations of the cross rendered in stained glass on the windows.

When I first got a guitar, it was a Spanish, classical thing.

I've always liked New York, as I like towns with an edge and New York has a European feel, so when I came to play music here in the '80s it was a surprise to me.
