The love of all-inclusiveness is as dangerous in philosophy as in art.

The philosophy of the common man is an old wife that gives him no pleasure, yet he cannot live without her, and resents any aspersions that strangers may cast on her character.

It is possible to be a master in false philosophy, easier, in fact, than to be a master in the truth, because a false philosophy can be made as simple and consistent as one pleases.

I remember how my mother would bring us to chapel on Sundays... and my father used to wait outside. One of the things that I picked up from my father and my mother was the sense that religion often gets in the way of God. For me, at least, it got in the way.

My best career decision was probably not giving up when I wanted to. God as well as my family and friends were there for me during my toughest times.

I'm about making music and spending time with my family. I've been in the spotlight so long that I'm looking for something different.

During my grief, I realised there was nothing I could do for my mother, but I did have a child.
