The sea is everything. It covers seven tenths of the terrestrial globe. Its breath is pure and healthy. It is an immense desert where man is never lonely for he feels life stirring on all sides.

I've never intended to be controversial but it's very easy to be controversial in pop music because nobody ever is.

I genuinely don't feel that anything that's been written or said about me has overshadowed my music and that's the most important thing as far as I'm concerned.

I don't think I'd ever make an album of just covers because I love writing my own music.

I think I took my eye off the ball. From about 2005 2006 2007 I was out of it. I thought I could oversee movies and have it done for me so to speak.

Film lovers are sick people.

It really depends but generally speaking just because of the mechanics of it voice-over is easier because there is no hair no makeup no wardrobe no fittings no line memorizing. You don't have to me woken up in Russia at 6 in the morning and go film a scene. It's just easier on the body the family life to do voice-overs.

I'll get up in the morning while they've all got hangovers and run my 5 miles. But the women who do run are usually 10 years younger than me and they're really obsessed about running. That's all they do. They're really boring.

The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money.

In fact my mom always told me because I was the daughter of an Army officer born overseas in Paris France that under the Constitution she believed that I could never run for president.

I'm ridiculous in my oversharing my mom and sister are very open but a little more judicious than me... and my father is a decidedly private person.

Controversy equalizes fools and wise men - and the fools know it.

If it's true that men are such beasts this must account for the fact that most women are animal lovers.

There are three classes of men lovers of wisdom lovers of honor and lovers of gain.

Within the covers of the Bible are the answers for all the problems men face.

French novels generally treat of the relations of women to the world and to lovers after marriage consequently there is a great deal in French novels about adultery about improper relations between the sexes about many things which the English public would not allow.

I'm always told that what I say is controversial. Why is it controversial? Because I speak from a tradition that has now fallen out of favor with the dominant media in this country. And so when I say things like marriage should be between one man and one woman I'm called a bigot.
