• I had no aspirations to become a landscape photographer at all. In fact it was portraiture that was my beginning, I suppose. I have always been a very keen walker, though, and I often took a camera with me on my walks. But I was, and still am, an avid reader and so when I first started I chose to photograph many of the great writers in this country to try and earn a living.

• As time passed I became an avid reader of popular scientific books, wanting to know as much as I could about the world in which I lived.

• Just take me home where the mood is mellow
  And the roses are grown
  M&M's are yellow
  And the light bulbs around my mirror don't flicker
  Everybody gets a nice autograph picture
  One for you and one for your sister
  Who had to work tonight but is an avid listener
  Every song's a favorite song
  And mics don't feed back.

• Ah, then, upon my bedroom I do draw
  The blind to hide the garden, where the moon
  Enjoys the open blossoms as they straw
  Their beauty for his taking, boon for boon.
  
  And I do lift my aching arms to you,
  And I do lift my anguished, avid breast,
  And I do weep for very pain of you,
  And fling myself at the doors of sleep, for rest.

• The one constant in this ever changing music business is the heartfelt and “ear to the ground” Indie Record Stores that avid music fans and artists alike know they can count on to keep music thriving locally. I tour all over the world, and it's these Indie Record Stores that many times make or break a market. People will always want an “album” to hold, not just have downloaded, and Indies fill that need and then some.

• Could God exist if nobody else did? No. That’s why gods are very avid for worshipers. If there is nobody to worship them, there are no gods. There are as many gods as there are people thinking about God. In choosing your god, you choose your way of looking at the universe. There are plenty of Gods. Choose yours. The god you worship is the god you deserve.
