If there is to be any peace it will come through being not having.

True enough nature has endowed me with a fair measure of patience and composure yet I should be lying if I told you that having seen the reporter off on his way to make his deadline I fell peacefully asleep.

My biggest weakness is patience wanting to see things happen too quickly or get changes in place right away. Not having the patience to let things develop.

It is impossible to practice parliamentary politics without having patience decency politeness and courtesy.

I'm torn about late parenting. I believe people should spend their twenties living and having fun and not having any regrets later. I also think people in their thirties generally make better parents but so many of my friends are having trouble - myself included - as fathers get older.

I regret not having had more time with my kids when they were growing up.

Having a baby changes the way you view your in-laws. I love it when they come to visit now. They can hold the baby and I can go out.

Having children is like having a bowling alley installed in your brain.

Don't be afraid in nature: one must be bold at the risk of having been deceived and making mistakes.

I am following Nature without being able to grasp her I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers.

I'm concentrating on staying healthy having peace being happy remembering what is important taking in nature and animals spending time reading trying to understand the universe where science and the spiritual meet.

Having contemplated this admirable grove I proceeded towards the shrubberies on the banks of the river and though it was now late in December the aromatic groves appeared in full bloom.

I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers.

I want to promote poetry to the point where you got all the baldhead kids running around doing poetry getting the music out of the way and having only words the spoken word and then see what happens.

I have one piece of music since 1997 and I don't see it having lyrics. Where does it go in this world? So I haven't recorded it.

That's why this generation is the least racist generation ever. You see it all the time. Go to any club. People are intermingling hanging out having fun enjoying the same music. Hip-hop is not just in the Bronx anymore. It's worldwide. Everywhere you go people are listening to hip-hop and partying together. Hip-hop has done that.

Def Leppard is obviously a different band that we are but the music work well tighter. And the audiences seem work well together too. We are opening but we're having a good time.
