Music and songs are written at different periods of time, at different times in your life. They reflect the feelings you have and to be honest, I quite like having positive emotions.
Football management is such a pressurised thing - horseracing is a release. I'm also learning to play the piano - I'm quite determined - it's another release from the pressure of my job.
I just loved to play. I liked to study the other ballplayers. I could talk about it for ages, because I played professional ball for 20 years, and I was still learning when I quit.
I love Spain. It's my favorite country that I've been to and I've traveled quite a bit. I've been really fortunate as an adult to have been to a lot of interesting places like Egypt and China.
I love writing books - I really do. If I could just quit everything and work on a book every day, I would love that most.
My love songs are very personal and quite weird. They don't really have the big radio hit choruses because basically they're my therapy, stuff I have to get off my chest.
I think a lot of the time having someone who you, not base yourself on, but can see yourself being after a few years, you can get quite blinded by that, in the same way love can be.
The fact is that love is of two kinds, one which commands, and one which obeys. The two are quite distinct, and the passion to which the one gives rise is not the passion of the other.
A woman's flattery may inflate a man's head a little; but her criticism goes straight to his heart, and contracts it so that it can never again hold quite as much love for her.
There exists, between people in love, a kind of capital held by each. This is not just a stock of affects or pleasure, but also the possibility of playing double or quits with the share you hold in the other's heart.
Then I left school at 16 and worked in Perth Repertory Theatre, which was quite nearby where I lived. And I worked there for about six or seven months, as part of the stage crew.
They say that 'life is too short,' but I must say that if you live each day happily and productively, it is quite long enough.
It is quite awful how some people are constantly saying that they are superior to others, but deep down they know that they are suffering from a lot of insecurities.
Pain is meant to be temporary as long as you are not willing to give up on yourself. However, quitting never fails to make it last forever.
He`s quite extraordinary with his moves and spins. I think he was a baton girl in a past life [on his co-star Hayden Christensen].
I'm a big fan of British cinema; I think we make some unbelievably brilliant films, but they can quite often have a dark feel.
It was kind of ridiculous to carry it up to a certain point and then drop the ball or the bomb, like quitting the band right after we had signed to Virgin.
A number of images put together a certain way become something quite above and beyond what any of them are individually.
I became quite successful very young, and it was mainly because I was so enthusiastic and I just worked so hard at it.
I am a student of forgiveness and so far I am failing miserably the saving grace is that I will not quit.
I quit drinking, so I can think clear. When you have chop trouble, drinking doesn't help the healing process.
