I used to play a lot of racket sports, tennis and squash.

I work on words quite separately to music. They're both ongoing, and I don't ever feel like I'm working in a cycle in that respect, because it's every day anyway, no matter what I'm doing. Then I get to a point when I've collected together enough words that seem like they want to be songs rather than poems, or sometimes not.

P. J. Harvey

Trying to describe something musical is like dancing to architecture, it's really difficult.

Robert Palmer

People today are still living off the table scraps of the sixties. They are still being passed around -- the music and the ideas.

Bob Dylan

And I think it's a prudent, responsible way, given the scale of the emergency, the scale of the damage still facing America, that we finance these additional support for the unemployed as well as the support for small business. We think there's a good case for doing it now. We want to do it in an overall fiscally responsible way.

Timothy Geithner

It is funny that men who are supposed to be scientific cannot get themselves to realise the basic principle of physics, that action and reaction are equal and opposite, that when you persecute people you always rouse them to be strong and stronger.

Gertrude Stein

If you believe in something because of miracles, then another kind of miracles can make you deny it.

Toba Beta

I'm actually tougher on myself as I get older. It's a vicious cycle. The things that are important in life are the things that you can't buy in life: love, health and happiness. I say that, and I believe that, and I try to live that.

Criss Angel

I'm obsessed with radio. It's a good start to Sunday morning.

R. L. Stine

A nation is formed by the willingness of each of us to share in the responsibility for upholding the common good.

Barbara Jordan

As an actor you have to have a strong vivid imagination as you're working and when the camera's rolling, but there's certainly a part of you that is aware of real life, that you're making a movie.

John Hawkes

We are weighed down, every moment, by the conception and the sensation of Time. And there are but two means of escaping and forgetting this nightmare: pleasure and work. Pleasure consumes us. Work strengthens us. Let us choose.

Charles Baudelaire

Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it's thinking of yourself less.

Rick Warren
