I think if there's something one needs to change with oneself it doesn't have to happen in the New Year. You can do that any time you please - not that it's not a good inspirational tactic for the people that it works for.

The earth was made so various that the mind Of desultory man studious of change And pleased with novelty might be indulged.

It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting for in movement there is life and in change there is power.

You always hear the phrase money doesn't buy you happiness. But I always in the back of my mind figured a lot of money will buy you a little bit of happiness. But it's not really true. I got a new car because the old one's lease expired.

I remember my wife and I used to get on plane and see everybody else with their babies. They'd be putting strollers and car seats up above and we'd think: Oh please Lord don't make us go through that.

Now having said that I realize that releasing a film in the real world is like trying to get General Motors to release a handmade car.

I think we've been dulled by capitalism. We're just blobs now - we're so worried about how we can keep paying the lease on the car the mortgage the lease on the toaster and all that. You can't really think about much else. If you lose that you lose the whole lot.

Teach your children how to behave with animals. Adopt a pet. Don't go buy one. Please. That's a sin. Let's get these puppy mills out of business.

As far as those kinds of things I also played at the concert to call for the release of Nelson Mandela when he was a political prisoner in South Africa. We were celebrating his 70th birthday and calling for his release.

Culture is the habit of being pleased with the best and knowing why.

I have made the choices that work best for me. I know I cannot please everyone and that's fine.

Instead it appears to be a particular mark of beauty that it is considered with tranquil satisfaction that it pleases if we also do not possess it and we are still far removed from demanding to possess it.

Beauty like ice our footing does betray Who can tread sure on the smooth slippery way: Pleased with the surface we glide swiftly on And see the dangers that we cannot shun.

I'm just part of a tradition of people who aren't pleased. I would never think anyone else who has the same attitude was getting it from me. I'd just think they're... sensible.

When you retire it's a place in life a part of the journey. You just don't quit work you develop an attitude where you can do what you please.

You call to a dog and a dog will break its neck to get to you. Dogs just want to please. Call to a cat and its attitude is 'What's in it for me?'

Flirting is the gentle art of making a man feel pleased with himself.

The art of pleasing consists in being pleased.

It is a mistake for a sculptor or a painter to speak or write very often about his job. It releases tension needed for his work.

This year as we celebrate the 230th anniversary of America's independence please remember the symbols that are sacred to this country. Fly Old Glory high and show your respect and admiration for this great nation and the values we hold dear.

I didn't make my first solo record until 1981 so I don't have any 60's or 70's recordings but I am working on a large boxed set called DUST to be released next year the 20th anniversary of my first solo record.

I've learned that football sometimes was an outlet. It was a way for me to release anger release frustration.

I turned to music originally because of my past and needing a release or an outlet to get out anger or frustration or hurt.

The average session takes about one to two hours. It's totally amazing because when a person breathes they go through one stage of relaxation after another and every stage releases tension.
