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.

We're very open and outspoken about our faith and our beliefs. We also talk about our doubts our moments of insecurities. We talk about it all day how we're inspired by God. We recognize little miracles every day and that's how we're raising our daughter.

Over the years my mother's steadfast faith in God has inspired me particularly when I had to perform extremely difficult surgical procedures or when I found myself faced with my own medical scare.

Red Letter Christians believe in the doctrines of the Apostle's Creed are convinced that the Scriptures have been inspired by the Holy Spirit and make having a personal transforming relationship with the resurrected Christ the touchtone of their faith.

Has Bill Clinton inspired idealism in the young as he himself was inspired by John F. Kennedy? Or has he actually reduced their idealism? Surely part of the answer lies in Clinton's personal moral lapse with Monica Lewinsky. But more important was his sin of omission - his failure to embrace a moral cause beyond popularity.

I'm always hoping for the nights that are inspired where you almost have an out of body experience.

Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened ambition inspired and success achieved.

Scotland is my country the nation that shaped me that taught me my values. A nation whose achievements inspired and inspire me a community whose failings drive me - drive my overwhelming desire to fight for social justice and equality.

A writer should get as much education as possible but just going to school is not enough if it were all owners of doctorates would be inspired writers.

I'm very jealous of my daughter's education. She's been inspired by her teachers and nobody inspired me as a teenager.

I was very inspired by Les Blank's film 'Burden of Dreams.' I think what's unique about his film and the two I've made is that they're close examinations of filmmakers and how their own emotional experiences reflect in the material they're rendering and vice versa - how that material sometimes colors their own lives.

The Columbia is lost but the dreams that inspired its crew remain with us.

Obviously one must hold oneself responsible for the evil impulses of one's dreams. In what other way can one deal with them? Unless the content of the dream rightly understood is inspired by alien spirits it is part of my own being.

While I was at college studying design I decided to paint. I was also greatly inspired by the colours that I had seen on my travels in the Brazilian Rain forest.

Design works if it's authentic inspired and has a clear point of view. It can't be a collection of input.

I've always been inspired by artists who have shown musical and intellectual curiosity and the courage to take risks.

The name Crow was inspired by a number of things. I thought it would be cool to have a robot with sort of a Native American feel to it.

I am thrilled to be able to bring my vision of beauty to others who may be inspired by it.

Only when inspired to go beyond consciousness by some extraordinary insight does beauty manifest unexpectedly.

I think everybody can agree that you can hear a certain song and it will put you in a certain mood and that's just the beauty of music and I am so inspired by that.

Love is the attempt to form a friendship inspired by beauty.

My sister she's amazing. She sort of inspired me to take this journey to Latin America.

Every now and then I have blissful moments of thanking God for all the amazing things that are happening. When I leave the White House after just meeting Obama or when I see my face on the cover of 'Rolling Stone' or when I meet someone who tells me that their daughter is inspired by me those are moments that are incredibly joyful.

On the stage you alone hold the key and on the night you have to trust that the director has inspired you enough to take the material and run with it.
