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.
It's not just the 'Grammys' that I've pulled out of. I also pulled out of the English awards as well. The reason that I wanted to pull out was because I believe very much that the music industry as a whole is mainly concerned with material success.
I get mad. I get sad. I have all those emotions. But I just like to keep them to myself. I don't think my fans need to be bothered with if I'm mad or sad about something. I should just be concerned that they are keeping up with my music or I'm making them happy with my show.
As far as I'm concerned the entire reason for becoming a writer is not having to get up in the morning.
Where large sums of money are concerned it is advisable to trust nobody.
Some of the best times I've spent in Colorado have been in the backcountry with my mom and siblings and more recently with my own kids. That is why I'm concerned to see today's kids spending more time browsing the Internet than exploring nature.
As far as I'm concerned there's no job more important on the planet than being a mom.
As far as the men who are running for president are concerned they aren't even people I would date.
I will not be concerned at other men's not knowing meI will be concerned at my own want of ability.
Alfred Nobel was much concerned as are we all with the tangible benefits we hope for and expect from physiological and medical research and the Faculty of the Caroline Institute has ever been alert to recognize practical benefits.
As far as hypnosis is concerned I had a very serious problem when I was in my twenties. I encountered a man who later became the president of the American Society of Medical Hypnosis. He couldn't hypnotize me.
And in a marriage you can't TRY and be married. You're married or you're not married... as far as I'm concerned.
Of all actions of a man's life his marriage does least concern other people yet of all actions of our life tis most meddled with by other people.
I think there are a whole host of things that are civil rights and then there are other things - such as traditional marriage - that I think express a community's concern and regard for a particular institution.
Where love is concerned too much is not even enough.
It is a bit embarrassing to have been concerned with the human problem all one's life and find at the end that one has no more to offer by way of advice than 'try to be a little kinder.'
The first thing which I can record concerning myself is that I was born. These are wonderful words. This life to which neither time nor eternity can bring diminution - this everlasting living soul began. My mind loses itself in these depths.
