Being British, I don't really have a way of expressing myself in conversation. Music transcends language.

Things take a long time, but when it's right things move fast.

Mothers always think their children are prettier than they really are, and mine has always told me I look like Tom Cruise.

I don't know how to write without thinking what people would want. You don't know whether they want you to be black or white, so you kind of get a gray, something in the middle.

Will you be my shoulder when I'm gray and older? Promise me tomorrow starts with you. Getting high, running wild among the stars above. Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me.

Honestly if men are given a choice, we'll choose everything.

My dad was in the Army. The Army's not great pay, but, you know, we moved from Army patch to Army patch wherever that was. The Army also contributed to sending me off to boarding school.
