I don't really know any other musicians like me. I grew up backstage with my dad who played in a post-war dance band, so I always feel at home at a venue.

I have always disliked being a man. The whole idea of manhood in America is pitiful, in my opinion. This version of masculinity is a little like having to wear an ill-fitting coat for one's entire life (by contrast, I imagine femininity to be an oppressive sense of nakedness).

Paul Theroux

I don't think I'd ever get thin, but I don't see why I should necessarily think that I couldn't... You can't live your life for your routines.

Alexei Sayle

You don't make peace with friends. You make it with very unsavory enemies.

Yitzhak Rabin

Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already tomorrow in Australia.

Charles Monroe Schulz

A pessimist is a man who thinks everybody is as nasty as himself, and hates them for it.

George Bernard Shaw

Olympism seeks to create a way of life based on the joy found in effort, the educational value of a good example and respect for universal fundamental ethical principles.

Pierre de Coubertin

Everybody now seems to be talking about democracy. I don't understand this. As I think of it, democracy isn't like a Sunday suit to be brought out and worn only for parades. It's the kind of a life a decent man leads, it's something to live for and to die for.

Dalton Trumbo

Beauty's of a fading nature Has a season and is gone!

Robert Burns

I have always lived my life exactly as I wanted. I've tried to please no one but myself...but I'm entirely content. I can sit back in my old age and not regret a single moment, not wish to change a single thing. It's what I wish for you...a life with no regrets.

Katharine Hepburn, As the charac

I do some of my best thinking while pulling weeds.

Martha Smith

All that existed was Jace; all she felt, hoped, breathed, wanted, and saw was Jace. Nothing else mattered.

Cassandra Clare

Fear is the dark room where the Devil develops his negatives.

Gary Busey
