Every now and then I read a poem that does touch something in me but I never turn to poetry for solace or pleasure in the way that I throw myself into prose.

I have this pet thing about how global communications are moving so fast now throwing information at you making everything available to you and yet I feel it's leaving us more and more isolated.

The lessons from the peace process are clear whatever life throws at us our individual responses will be all the stronger for working together and sharing the load.

To keep it simple you run your gym like you run your house. Keep it clean and in good running order. No jerks allowed members pay on time and if they give you any crap throw them out. There's peace where there's order.

How many a man has thrown up his hands at a time when a little more effort a little more patience would have achieved success.

I feel very blessed to have two wonderful healthy children who keep me completely grounded sane and throw up on my shoes just before I go to an awards show just so I know to keep it real.

I sit astride life like a bad rider on a horse. I only owe it to the horse's good nature that I am not thrown off at this very moment.

I think maybe because of the kind of music I sing people want to believe you're a diva. They can't believe after eight years and eight albums you're still relatively sane. I feel like they almost want me to throw something at somebody.

I've always believed that if you don't stay moving they will throw dirt on you.

By forgetting the past and by throwing myself into other interests I forget to worry.
