I’m really quite simple. I don’t want to be in the business full time, because I’m a gardener. I plant flowers and watch them grow. I don’t go out to clubs. I don’t party. I stay at home and watch the river flow.

I fell in love, not with anything or anybody in particular but with everything.
It doesn't really matter what chords I play, what words I say or time of day it is, as it's only a Northern Song.
Some things take so long
But how do I explain
When not too many people
Can see we're all the same
And because of all their tears
Your eyes can't hope to see
The beauty that surrounds them
Now, isn't it a pity
If you don't know where you're going, any road'll take you there
Everyone’s Got To Be Somewhere.
Life goes on within you and without you
All I've got to be is be happy
My son looks more like George Harrison than I do.
Why are you still crying?
Your pain is now through
Please forget those teardrops
Let me take them for you
The love you are blessed with
This world's waiting for
So let out your heart please, please
From behind that locked door
We were talking about the space between us all
And the people who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion,
Never glimpse the truth, then it's far too late, when they pass away.
We were talking about the love we all could share.
When we find it, to try our best to hold it there.
With our love, with our love, we could save the world.
If they only knew.
Try to realise it's all within yourself — No one else can make you change — And to see you're really only very small
And life flows on within you and without you.
We were talking about the love that's gone so cold
And the people who gain the world and lose their soul.
They don't know, they can't see.
Are you one of them?
When you've seen beyond yourself then you may find
Peace of mind is waiting there,
And the time will come when you see we're all one
And life flows on within you and without you.
The speech of flowers excels the flowers of speech.
The saddest thing was actually getting fed up with one another. It's like growing up in a family. When you get to a certain age, you want to go off and get your own girl and your own car, split up a bit.
I always felt sorry for Elvis 'cause he was on his own. He had his guys with him, but there's only one Elvis. Nobody else knew what he felt like.
I was naive and thought we could express our feelings to each other- not suppress them and keep holding them back. Well, it was what I felt, and why should I be untrue to myself? I came to believe the importance that if you feel something strong enough then you should say it.
