Is anyone serious about the politics of happiness? David Cameron dipped a toe in the water using the word lightly but denying the hard policies it implies. Labour shies away from it but should take up the challenge.

Even if happiness forgets you a little bit never completely forget about it.

The mindset of chasing that next #1 record doesn't exist for me anymore. It's more about being a well-rounded entertainer than being a pop artist.

Unhappiness is something we are never taught about we are taught to expect happiness but never a Plan B to use to use when the happiness doesn't arrive.

Caring about others running the risk of feeling and leaving an impact on people brings happiness.

I have this really high priority on happiness and finding something to be happy about.

I am about to be married and am of course in all the misery of a man in pursuit of happiness.

The only happiness a brave person ever troubles themselves in asking about is happiness enough to get their work done.
