There is an infinite difference between a little wrong and just right, between fairly good and the best, between mediocrity and superiority Picture Quote #1

If I'm not on tour or in the studio, I'm in nature somewhere, usually some kind of ocean. Playing music has afforded me that. It's not lost on me that it's a tremendous opportunity to be able to spend your life being surrounded by nature Picture Quote #1

Is lukewarm tea, the devil's own brew Picture Quote #1

In regard to the tune, we have a name in the studio, and we call it the 'MacGuffin.' It is the mechanical element that usually crops up in any story. In crook stories it is always the necklace and in spy stories it is always the papers. We just try to be a little more original Picture Quote #1

The idiot, the Indian, the child, and unschooled farmer's boy stand nearer to the light by which nature is to be read, than the dissector or the antiquary Picture Quote #1
