I'm not one of those freaks who can't see anything past 1977.

If you judge people by what they've done in the past, you're wrong.

When I read about Gram Parsons' dream of this Cosmic American Music when I was in my late teens, that stuck with me: that idea, that ambition, to draw off the roots of music but take it somewhere fresh.

The greatest footballers take the sport into the world of art, of performance.

I come from hardworking, determined people on both sides of my family... the kind who live with a hard reality from which much strength comes.

I always assumed that like my mother before me, one day I would have children.

It sounds cliche, but success is your friends, your family, what you do, and if you're happy when you wake up.

Pride in boasting of family antiquity, makes duration stand for merit.
