In five years' time I'd like to be a mum. I want to settle down and have a family definitely sooner rather than later. I'd like to have finished my second album too maybe even my third. I'd like a sound that sticks around that other people are inspired by and that people know is me.

I say If everybody in this house lives where it's God first friends and family second and you third we won't ever have an argument.

In the third century after Christ the faith continued to spread.

He that rebels against reason is a real rebel but he that in defence of reason rebels against tyranny has a better title to Defender of the Faith than George the Third.

Of course Third World leaders love you. By ascribing third world ills to First World sins you absolve them of blame for their countries' failure to advance.

You can use your means in a good and bad way. In German-speaking art we had such a bad experience with the Third Reich when stories and images were used to tell lies. After the war literature was careful not to do the same which is why writers began to reflect on the stories they told and to make readers part of their texts. I do the same.

To pursue a so-called Third Way is foolish. We had our experience with this in the 1960s when we looked for a socialism with a human face. It did not work and we must be explicit that we are not aiming for a more efficient version of a system that has failed.

There are three methods to gaining wisdom. The first is reflection which is the highest. The second is limitation which is the easiest. The third is experience which is the bitterest.

By three methods we may learn wisdom: First by reflection which is noblest Second by imitation which is easiest and third by experience which is the bitterest.

If we were to select the most intelligent imaginative energetic and emotionally stable third of mankind all races would be present.
