Mark Knopfler

The music just tends to be a vehicle for that poetry.

If you feel that you're not getting enough out of a song, change the instrument - go from an acoustic to an electric or vice versa, or try an open tuning. Do something to shake it up.

Instead of receding, the past actually becomes more important. That's what will happen to you. It sounds unlikely, but the past actually changes complexion as you get older.

I believe in the power of poetry, which gives me reasons to look ahead and identify a glint of light.

After my swims this weekend I think coach realized, you know what, you have to have a good one getting out of this meet. So I put the suit on and had a decent swim.

It is good to be in front of the lens to appreciate more being behind the lens.
