With my family, my sons both love music and play music, and they’re really good at it.

It’s not necessarily getting older or the change that comes with it, I think it’s more about the memories that you have. Where you can look at your life in these eras.

Never run in the rain with your socks on.

I started getting in the groove of it and it was really fun. I love being a rookie at stuff. It makes it feel vital. I love doing things I’ve never done before, and I love making stuff.

I think it’s your own choice if you turn from an angry young man to a bitter, old bastard.

It’s not only exciting to watch, but you can also speak a different language with each other. It’s a music language that’s unique, compared to what other parents do, especially in their professional lives. Not everybody can talk about being an accountant.

I like to keep my girlish figure

Just about 99% of the population masturbates while the other 1% lie about it.

There was a coming and going of Al Qaeda militants and leaders between Afghanistan and Pakistan for several years.

I think of art as coming from daily life, daily experience. I think it’s very important not to have it become work for some kind of elite circle.

The Taliban had become deeply unpopular and were actually discarded by the Pashtun population almost as quickly as they were in the north. I don’t see the Taliban coming back in any way.

If this be the Messiah, then I do not wish to see his coming

When people are coming to Krakow and we show them how and where we practice, they are like, ‘Seriously?

Even if I wear jeans, I still wear a blazer and jewelry. I think there is something nice about coming to work and dressing nicely.

I keep coming back to you in my head, but you couldn’t know that, and I have no carbons.

And when they don’t get what they want, say, “Okay, sweetheart, yours is coming. Let’s help you get it.” Be there 100% for them.
