One of the strangest experiences one can have is to sleep on stage, as I once did in Sydney when I'd lost the key to my flat.

The senseless killing of 20 children and their teachers and principal at Sandy Hook Elementary School was not part of God's grand plan. It was a thwarting of God's plan. It was the misuse of human freedom.

Thats where I learned to sing.Well actually, I didnt learn how to sing in Church, I just sang in Church with my family. My family was quite musical.

Smith, you know all those people. Thats where I got my influence.

There is a red sandy beach in the Minas Basin in Nova Scotia that is unlike any other shore landscape I have ever seen.

I came here having played the game. I knew little about knowing what it takes to put a team together. I've learned from Sandy, through Billy and Paul.

We want to run this thing like a business and take care of the employees.

God himself culminates in the present moment and will never be more divine in the lapse of the ages. Time is but a stream I go a-fishing in. I drink at it, but when I drink I see the sandy bottom and detect how shallow it is. Its thin current slides away but eternity remains.
