I often find myself privately stewing about much British art thinking that except for their tremendous gardens that the English are not primarily visual artists and are in nearly unsurpassable ways literary.

I can't satisfy myself with just trying to tie all of my imagination into music especially when music is not appreciated as an art form as much as it used to be.

I am a soul. I know well that what I shall render up to the grave is not myself. That which is myself will go elsewhere. Earth thou art not my abyss!

I got into this little habit of architecture and building. I designed a house in Colorado and one in Hawaii. The idea is supposed to be build and sell - but then I can never bring myself to sell them.

I want to express myself to feel that what I feel is real. My joy my pain my anger.

After my second-to-last record 'The Greatest' I had gone on tour for a while and I didn't play an instrument for about five years. And I got kind of - it's not self-esteem or whatever or anger toward myself - but disappointed in myself that I hadn't been challenging myself to learn musically.

I've purged myself of bitterness and anger and remained open to love.

I did not want to put myself on the line as an Australian playing Britain's greatest comic actor. The fans of Sellers are obsessive possessive - and aggressive. I did not want to risk their anger - or my own reputation.

I drank for about 25 years getting over the loss of my father and I took the anger out on myself. I did a good job at beating myself up at sometimes. I don't drink anymore but my alcoholic head occasionally says different. 'Nil By Mouth' was a love letter to my father because I needed to resolve some issues in order to be able to forgive him.

I've been trying to learn how to not be so conflicted about things like my own anger. I've always had a place in my music for my anger as a way of compensating for not having a mechanism to express it in my everyday life. So I've been trying to be more true to myself and that helps me to chill out a little bit. But politically uh-uh. No.

As far as having peace within myself the one way I can do that is forgiving the people who have done wrong to me. It causes more stress to build up anger. Peace is more productive.

I realized that if my thoughts immediately affect my body I should be careful about what I think. Now if I get angry I ask myself why I feel that way. If I can find the source of my anger I can turn that negative energy into something positive.

It's great when people appreciate your work but I don't know how seriously to take it. The amazing thing is that I found something so early that I can support myself doing and that can even be extremely lucrative but I love it either way.

When I see myself in the videogame it's amazing how realistic I look. This is the most authentic and realistic soccer game I have ever seen. It is like I'm looking in a mirror. The attention to detail is incredible.

I'm not sure I make old bones in parliament. It's an amazing experience to have had but I can't see myself being Mother of the House.

But as far as for I think it will be amazing you know where I find myself years from now because of this film. It's just amazing I think everybody's going to kind of know this film and because of it me. So I you know it's crazy.

I've never stabbed hurt killed stolen anything but I went to jail for a year. What is that? My pastor said to me the fact that I'm not living under a bridge as a crazy woman talking to myself is amazing.

You know it's amazing. I don't even have a car would you believe it? I had a motorbike and it got stolen last year. So I've got to buy another one of those I suppose. I can treat myself to that.

I just believe that the feeling of wonder is amazing. I am pushing myself as far as I can humanly push myself... I can only hope for the best and expect the worse.

You can lose a game but I see guys every week including myself you lose a game it's a tough loss you're down two weeks later you forgot about it. You know it's amazing how down you were but all of the sudden you're like it never happened.

I'm not an Adonis that's for damn sure. I've never really thought of myself that way and it doesn't matter to me. My favorite actors aren't Adonises. Dustin Hoffman is a flawed-looking man he's amazing to me. Tom Hanks is flawed-looking people love him. Same with Gene Hackman.

Hiking is the best workout!... You can hike for three hours and not even realize you're working out. And hiking alone lets me have some time to myself.

For a while I couldn't leave the house by myself. Even if I was just grocery shopping alone I'd get self-conscious.

Most photographers work best alone myself included.
