mean simple talking
I mean, the way I'm talking, it sounds like I'm - you know, I'm about to go out and sign up for the nearest seminary, and you'll never see or hear from me again. But it's a hard thing to talk about really 'cause I'm not at all sure myself about it. But I've got a very, very simple sort of outlook to it. Yeah, that's all I can say, really.
talking organization interesting
And as Craig Brown - he's an English humorist, not a comedian but he's just a writer and humorist - I'm quite a fan of. I heard him talking in a rather similar way on the radio. He said I'm the sort of person - I can't remember exactly what he said, but it was rather interesting - he said I'm the sort of person that can be reduced to tears in an empty church and feel like I'm the CEO of the Devil's organization in a full one, and I tend to feel like that as well. I love empty churches and going into them looking around, but I'm not a churchgoer at all.
mean thinking talking
You try to make every word count, so there's no doubt what you're talking about. When you're young, you waffle away. Well, I'm done with that. I think it's much more interesting to say just what you mean.
taken talking interesting
The older I get, there doesn't seem to be anything remotely more interesting than talking about love and the lack of it and what happens when it's taken away from someone who's had it.
direct hard songs work
I work very hard on getting the songs ... direct and examined,
generating margin profit small sold store track
We do make a small margin on each track that's sold at the store. But because it's Coke, there isn't a requirement for the store to be generating a profit for the store to operate.
number offensive pressure
We know they'll put pressure on us and, number one, we have to be able to rebound. We especially have to keep them off the offensive boards.
basketball beat best central credit four good played prepared quarters tonight
I give Central all the credit in the world. They battled. They put four quarters together. We know we're always going to get Central's best effort. They were prepared tonight and played hard. We beat a good basketball team.
ball basketball foul free job line man nice pounding taylor trouble
They did a very nice job of pounding the ball inside. We were in foul trouble in there, and Taylor was a man tonight. He did a nice job of, even when he didn't score, going to the free-throw line and making his free throws.
along germany gigs learning people spent
All those years we'd spent learning these chops, and all those gigs in Germany where you'd play all night, and along comes punk. It has nothing to do with that. A lot of people went out of business.
good produced stood wore
They tell me I produced songs. I just stood in the back, wore a good suit and said, Yeah, that's happening.
anyone audiences brings fish happy huge interested small welcome
I like being a big fish in a small pond, ... I'm not interested in having a huge audience, because it brings its own headaches. If anyone comes along, I'm more than happy to welcome them, but I'm not interested in world domination.
song thinking listening
The older I get, the more I think it's this listening. You listen for it, and you have a bit of patience. And it'll come until it sounds - to me, the best songs I've written, I think, are ones that I can't hear anything - any of myself in it. It sounds like a cover song, like somebody else's song - really something you've stolen wholesale off a radio that you've listened to in someone else's flat.
names way comfort
I use the name and the thought very, very easily as a sort of comfort - as a kind of comfort, in some way. And in that way, it's just like having a friend, I suppose.
