I pull no punches!

In criticism I will be bold, and as sternly, absolutely just with friend and foe. From this purpose nothing shall turn me.

I’m very opinionated.

Cooking is about passion, so it may look slightly temperamental in a way that it’s too assertive to the naked eye.

The onus is on the managers to send out an attacking formation and to tell their players to be bold.

I never woke up and thought, ‚I really want to live a bold life.‘

I’m not confrontational, but if someone challenges, I’m not going to back down.

A sudden bold and unexpected question doth many times surprise a man and lay him open.

I don’t really have any gimmicks. I don’t actually do anything that’s strange. I don’t even wear weird things.

I think business has to be stupider. I want to do really straightforward, stupid business – just talk to me like a 4-year-old. And I refuse to negotiate. I do not negotiate. I can collaborate. But I’m an artist, so as soon as you negotiate, you’re being compromised.

One thing you gotta know about me is I have absolutely no filter. I have no problem saying what the hell I think of someone.

All of my music is honest.

The President is going to benefit from me reporting directly to him when I arrive.

I wanted to drop three albums in a year because no one had done it. It was bold, unheard of.

I love that I can talk to my fans through Twitter, to cut out the middle man. Because I’ve done interviews where my words have gotten twisted, so it’s nice to be able to have things coming straight from me.

I don’t need you to be funny. I don’t want to be entertained.

I think it’s an Irish thing. We don’t really care. We say it as we mean it, and you have to deal with it. The truth is the truth.

I had no portrait, now, but am small, like the wren; and my hair is bold, like the chestnut bur; and my eyes, like the sherry in the glass, that the guest leaves.
