God tolerates even our stammering and pardons our ignorance whenever something inadvertently escapes us - as indeed without this mercy there would be no freedom to pray.

Look freedom is an overwhelming American notion. The idea that we want to see the world the peoples of the world free is something that all of us subscribe to.

Freedom is not something that one people can bestow on another as a gift. Thy claim it as their own and none can keep it from them.

What is ominous is the ease with which some people go from saying that they don't like something to saying that the government should forbid it. When you go down that road don't expect freedom to survive very long.

I learned a long time ago that some people would rather die than forgive. It's a strange truth but forgiveness is a painful and difficult process. It's not something that happens overnight. It's an evolution of the heart.

I think everything worked out the way it was supposed to. Mark's happier. I'm sober. There are still phone calls to be made people I need to say something to. But everyone from Creed who I've offended or hurt I ask for their forgiveness.

I would say that playing this character has caused me to think about a lot of things. He's always questioning himself and trying to get back to something he lost touch with and trying to find forgiveness. Everybody struggles with these things to some extent in their life.

One important theme is the extent to which one can ever correct an error especially outside any frame of religious forgiveness. All of us have done something we regret - how we manage to remove that from our conscience or whether that's even possible interested me.

If there is something to pardon in everything there is also something to condemn.

Maybe we've been brainwashed by 130 years of Yankee history but Southern identity now has more to do with food accents manners music than the Confederate past. It's something that's open to both races a variety of ethnic groups and people who move here.

The only break I ever took was to eat. That's all I did. Work and then quickly eat something. It became my main pleasure having access to my comfort food.

The Paris peace talks kept a roof over my head and food on the table and clothes on my back because if something was said going in or coming out I had the rent for the month.

Music can also be a sensual pleasure like eating food or sex. But its highest vibration for me is that point of taking us to a real understanding of something in our nature which we can very rarely get at. It is a spiritual state of oneness.

Once a food becomes off-limits then it takes on this whole other personality. 'Forbidden' is more tempting. And it becomes something evil but food is food. It's there to nourish your body.

Fashion for me is anything that's aesthetic and beautiful. Art food film. It's something that I appreciate and really like.

I wait for the next opportunity to have something to do with food. If I get rested my mind just starts creating new dishes - click click click.

We trust something in a grocery store and assume it's good. We don't learn about the most precious thing in life-the food we put in our body. Educate yourself!

You can give men food and leisure and amusements and good conditions of work and still they will remain unsatisfied. You can deny them all these things and they will not complain so long as they feel that they have something to die for.

Each of us needs something - food liquor pot whatever - to help us survive. Dracula needs blood.

I think the water dictates how food will taste in a country. In England the apples taste unlike apples grown in any other place. England is an island there's a lot of salt in the air and in the water. I think that has something to do with it.

Doing things like playing music something that's so natural and basic to human function running around in nature eating delicious food. These things are intrinsic in basic primordial to human beings so that's sort of a way to return to a blank canvas allowing my true personality to return.

Entrepreneurs always pitch their idea as 'the X of Y' so this is going to be 'the Microsoft of food.' And yet disruptive innovations usually don't have that character. Most of the time if something seems like a good idea it probably isn't.

Yet food is something that is taken for granted by most world leaders despite the fact that more than half of the population of the world is hungry.

Never eat while doing something else because you won't get the satisfaction from your food and you'll be more likely to overeat.
