“I’m tired of screwing up. I’m tired of being down. I’m tired of myself. I’m tired of bein’ down.”

I think it’s important to always offer something new.

You get in there, you get the job done and you get the hell out.

Gonna wind it up on my guitar. Gonna make that silver sing.

Oh yeah, alright, take it easy baby, make it last all night. She was an American Girl.

Lord, please watch over all these lost children born to chase the hurricane.

I think for it to be hip to be idealistic is weird, you know? I mean, even all the best rebels to me, had some sense of hope in them.

I’ve never had any idea that what I like would resonate with the audience, and I’m pleasantly surprised when it does.

That’s stupid. You couldn’t pay me to go. I’m not oversimplifying it. That’s what’s going on. I don’t think it would be any fun without the drugs. It’s a drug party.

If you stretch your imagination, I’ll tell you all a tale, about a time when everything wasn’t up for sale.

Go after what you really love and find a way to make that work for you, and then you’ll be a happy person.

I remember things being more clearer, at one time things were more real.

And now, here it is, set down by someone else, a person you have never met, someone even who is long dead. And it is as if a hand has come out, and taken yours

If all currencies are moving up or down together, the question is: relative to what? Gold is the canary in the coal mine.

I have long argued that paying down the national debt is beneficial for the economy.

Reading is untidy, discursive and perpetually inviting. Briefing closes down a subject, reading opens it up.

Even though some down payments are borrowed, it would take a large, and historically most unusual, fall in home prices to wipe out a significant part of home equity.

I think the writer’s quite low down in the hierarchy really. But the fact that they took the piss out of Nicholas [Hynter] who, besides being the director, is also director of the National Theatre is, I’d have thought, slightly more risky.

You want to set this one down so you can take a breath, and keep reading–all at the same time.

The role of humour is to make people fall down and writhe on the Axminster, and that is the top and bottom of it.
