My mother is probably the wisest person I've ever known. She's not schooled, she's not well read. But she has a philosophy of life that makes well-read people seem like morons.

People who are the salt of the earth get up and go to a job that they hate.

England is a profoundly bizarre place that has produced thousands of bands the world has worshipped.

I voted for President Bush, I voted for President Clinton, and, although I do want my vote back, I voted for President Obama.

I told myself that I wanted to be a motivational speaker, I wanted to write a book, graduate college, have my own family, and have my own career.

I wanted to have a go at a pop career. My first single, 'Baby I Don't Care', was a hit, and the second, 'Bye Bye Boy', reached the Top 20.

You know, I like playing music and playing guitar, and I like to draw, so I thought I would end up just probably barely making a living, or probably having to have some other job, but being involved in one of those things that I really like to do. But that didn't work out like that.

We've been very blessed in our career.
