We can’t live with it, and we can’t live without it.” ~ R. C. Sproul

I mean, I look at Rembrandt sometimes and I hear a voice in my head go, “It’s pretty brown.”” ~ Jerry Saltz

There’s a lot of women that know better, that are really beautiful and sexy, but it’s like: We know you can shake your ass in a G-string and wave it around, it’s not that risque. It’s not dangerous. It’s very obvious and boring.” ~ Neneh Cherry

What is the personality of this thing I’m hearing that I like so much?” And it’s nearly always a sort of mixed emotion, which is why I like it. It’s something that I have mixed feelings about in the sense that it’s both, say, placid and dangerous, or bitter and sweet, or dark and bright.” ~ Brian Eno

On one hand, I’m concerned that the rampant downloading of my copyright-protected material over the Internet is severely eating into my album sales and having a decidedly adverse effect on my career.
