It's A Holy City For Music.

I Was Too Shy, I Think, To Sing Publicly. It Takes A Particular Kind Of Person. And When I Was Young, I Was Not That Person. In The First Instance, When A Record Company Said To Me, Do You Want To Try And Make Your Record, My First Reaction Was, No, I'm Not Worthy - I Couldn't Possibly, And So On And So Forth.

I Remember Watching Mel Gibson On Some Show Once, And He Was Being Asked About His Belief In The Afterlife. Gibson Said: 'well, I Can't Believe This Is All There Is'. And I Thought: 'wait A Minute. You're Mel Gibson. You Have Millions Of Dollars. You're A Great-looking Chap With Every Conceivable Blessing That Could Be Bestowed Upon A Man. And That's Not Good Enough ?'

I Just Read An 800-page History Of The Scottish Enlightenment And, Honestly, I May As Well Just Start It Again Now, Because I Cannot Remember A Single Thing. I Can Barely Remember Where Scotland Is.

You Hope That Your Teenage Self Would Like And Forgive Your 50-year-old Self.

Perseverance Does Not Equal Worthiness. Next Time You Want To Get My Attention, Wear Something Fun. Low-riding Jeans Are Hot.
