Religion, in any form, is always interesting to me because of how powerful it is. Not even the religion itself, but to the people that follow it... The effect that it has had on people's minds.
Any system of religion that has anything in it that shocks the mind of a child, cannot be true.
Even when I'm in quite a happy state of mind, I like writing really sad songs. I think a lot of people do.
There is talk that badminton may not make it as a sport in the 2020 Olympics. We must bear in mind that other sports are strongly lobbying to be included.
When all is said and done, the real citadel of strength of any community is in the hearts and minds and desires of those who dwell there.
I think yoga builds strength, flexibility, and calming of the mind - which is never a bad thing.
Never mind what others do; do better than yourself, beat your own record from day to day, and you are a success.

Stone walls confine a tinker; cold iron binds a witch; but a musician's music can never be fettered, for it lives first in her heart and mind.
Music is unique because you can get behind enemy lines a little bit, get into people's houses and into their heads, on their stereos, and win hearts and minds.
You're just playing, playing, playing, and then an image or something will come into your mind, and basically you're just narrating it with music, letting it move along.
In chamber music, the audience can hear each instrument and understand (and feel) what the composer and the musicians have in mind as they play.
Music is really all about experimentation and lots of trial and error. It's just mind-numbingly boring until you hit on something that works well.
As you may know my use of Celtic music is extremely simple and short. However there is something about it that will remain in your mind for a long, long time.

That was probably the stamp that went into my mind, because I worked in television for many years, doing that kind of music, so that really was my strong forte.
When I got out of the Nazz, I had it in my mind that simply to be eclectic was an important aspect of making music. It was something that I derived from The Beatles.
