Don't listen to what anybody says except the people who encourage you. If it's what you want to do and it's within yourself, then keep going and try to do it for the rest of your life.

It was amazing to me that, all of a sudden, I was hearing my music on the radio and coming out of cars.

Lenny Kravitz

Not what I have, but what I do is my kingdom.

Thomas Carlyle

Heaven offers nothing that the mercenary soul can desire. It is safe to tell the pure in heart that they shall see God, for only the pure in heart want to. There are rewards that do not sully motives. A man's love for a woman is not mercenary because he wants to marry her, nor his love for poetry mercenary because he wants to read it, nor his love of exercise less disinterested because he wants to run and leap and walk. Love, by definition, seeks to enjoy its object.

C.S. Lewis

I think our leadership team is a highly accountable leadership team.

Steve Ballmer

We've got a first class leader at the moment. David Cameron is dealing with the issues that he was left by the last government very well indeed.

Theresa May

Spiritual energy flows in and produces effects in the phenomenal world.

William James

I have no right, by anything I do or say, to demean a human being in his own eyes. What matters is not what I think of him it is what he thinks of himself. To undermine a man's self-respect is a sin.

Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Punk was defined by an attitude rather than a musical style.

David Byrne

I like American history.

Kevin Costner

I don't really plan to be a pop star I just want to be able to make music without the whole My Dad thing hanging over me, which everyone in my position goes through.

Dhani Harrison

It's big production. It's huge. It's using studio technology to your benefit. You don't go in and play live and then just take the tapes and get them mastered. You have to create.

Joe Elliott

Now, there remain faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

Paul of Tarsus
