The black person is the protagonist in most of my paintings. I realized that I didn't see many paintings with black people in them.
Not everybody trusts paintings but people believe photographs.
I believe that the whole idea of the consumer society is tottering. We've kept ourselves going by producing more and more goods, most of which people don't need. I'm anti-consumerism; I own four pairs of black Levis and that's it.
I think people see me as someone very much associated with political agreement and, probably more than anything else, being able to build a relationship with loyalist leaders Ian Paisley and Peter Robinson.
People were always asking me who I wanted to tour with, and I always said Jason Aldean or Brad Paisley.
I think it says wonders about people that can write an entire album, and put out an entire album of great songs. I mean, the Brad Paisley's, Alan Jackson especially, even Taylor Swift - those people can really pen great stuff.
I'm in this really cool place in my career, where the stage I'm on that night, whether it's the Paisley tour, the CMT tour, or a bar with 10 people in it, it is the most important show I've ever played in my life. I go to the ends of my imagination to do something that's unforgettable every night.
I'm always in my pajamas, unless I know for a fact that people are taking my picture.
You are the master of your own ship, pal. There are lots of people who fall into troubled waters and don't have the guts or the knowledge or the ability to make it to shore. They have nobody to blame but themselves.
We've never been very good at servicing fans. I'm here to concentrate on music, not to be a pen pal to people who write to me.
Everywhere we go, we make sure that PAL displays the warmth, hospitality, and everything that is good about the Philippines and its people.
I'm one of those people, in any country I'm in, if somebody could just put me in a car or a bus, I'll look out the window and say, 'OK, there's the Tower of London, there's Buckingham Palace, there's Big Ben,' and if it all takes about five minutes, perfect. I've seen all of it and I can go home.
I want people to know their palate is a snowflake. We all like different things. Why should we all have the same taste in wines?
I'm pale, and people need to accept that I'm almost see-through.
It goes without saying that the Jewish people can have no other goal than Palestine and that, whatever the fate of the proposition may be, our attitude toward the land of our fathers is and shall remain unchangeable.
Palestine is our unforgettable historic home. The very name would be a force of marvelous potency for summoning our people together.
Zionism demands a publicly recognized and legally secured homeland in Palestine for the Jewish people. This platform is unchangeable.
Palestinian people are in love with life.
The Palestinian people were governing themselves before the creation of the State of Israel.
BDS has been used as a tactic to raise awareness for Palestinian people, including women and their children.
