“I was blessed. I had a great childhood and great parents that loved music and family. I moved from England when I was almost 18 and been on my own ever since and have been trying to make a living in the music business for the past twelve years.”

I didn’t have a lot to do with the first record.

A lot of people say I’m an overnight success, but it’s an overnight success that’s been twelve years in the making.

I picked and co-wrote the songs that if I was a guy who would be spending my hard-earned money buying an album I would want to hear.

I was so happy and content with in life playing music. Music was always my first job and my day gig was my second job.

I think it has a lot to do with determination. I treat people the way I want to be treated and believe if you work hard you can have the things you want in life.

My lifes a wreck, and I love it.

Would the Holy One, Blessed is he, dispense judgment without justice? But we may say that he whom God loves will be chastised.

Our historical bequest is sublime. I have inherited a fragmented but highly creative exile and, since 1948, a home.

The person who can bring the spirit of laughter into a room is indeed blessed.

Blessed are those who give without remembering. And blessed are those who take without forgetting.

The Blessed Virgin used me like a broom, and then put me back in my place.

Ive been blessed to be in a position to share (my experiences).

In my life I have been blessed In my life I have been cursed I have lived the best of times I have suffered the worst Do you know which road you’re traveling? Do you know where you want to be? With so many roads to travel, There’s just one can set you free.

Blessed are the idiots, for they are happiest people on earth.
