All lies and jests, still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest. The Boxer

The thought that life could be better is woven indelibly into our hearts and our brains.

People talking without speaking, People listening without hearing, People writing songs that voices never shared. Sounds of Silence

My whole artistic life has always been about change, change, change, move on, move on. It ' s the only thing I find interesting.

To make your living from something you love is really an unusual piece of good fortune.
