Alas! how little does the memory of these human inhabitants enhance the beauty of the landscape!

Real beauty knocks you a little bit off kilter.

Every year of my life I grow more convinced that it is wisest and best to fix our attention on the beautiful and the good and dwell as little as possible on the evil and the false.

I just think that people take me a little more seriously as a brunette. I don't know if that's just because of a societal preconceived notion that all blondes are stupid but it's a different kind of attitude.

What I wish I had is that I wish I was a little more Greek in that I wish I could lose my North American driven attitude and that I could be a little bit more poetic and laissez faire.

It really was hand-to-mouth and you can say 'Poor little me how dreadful what a deprived childhood' but I didn't feel that way at all. It's all about the attitude at home.

Even as a little child I've always had that comedian kind of attitude.

My attitude to writing is like when you do wallpapering you remember where all the little bits are that don't meet. And then your friends say: It's terrific!

Yes we're still five little people with a noisy attitude.

I keep guitars that are you know the neck's a little bit bent and it's a little bit out of tune. I want to work and battle it and conquer it and make it express whatever attitude I have at that moment. I want it to be a struggle.
