I used to sing on the school bus everyday.
Deep down inside we're all the same. We all have the same emotions.
Never rush an emotion; everything in life has a rhythm, it is the pauses and silences that speak the truth.
Love. Children are loving, they dont gossip, they dont complain, theyre just open-hearted. Theyre ready for you. They dont judge. They dont see things by way of color. Theyre very child-like. Thats the problem with adults: they lose that child-like quality. And thats the level of inspiration thats so needed and is so important for creating and writing songs and for a sculptor, a poet or a novelist. Its that same kind of innocence, that same level of consciousness, that you create from. And kids have it. I feel it right away from animals and children and nature. Of course.
It's been my dream since I was a child to somehow unite people of the world through love and music.
Drinking really cold beer is like slapping yourself in the face with an ice pick.
In a world filled with hate, we must still dare to hope. In a world filled with anger, we must still dare to comfort. In a world filled with despair, we must still dare to dream. And in a world filled with distrust, we must still dare to believe.
Belief in the resurrection is not an appendage to the Christian faith. It is the Christian faith.
One of life's quiet excitements is to stand somewhat apart from yourself and watch yourself softly becoming the author of something beautiful even if it is only a floating ash.
Life sometimes gets in the way of writing.
I've said before that the Ryder Cup is not the European Tour versus the American Tour. It's Europe's best golfers against the US.
