I write the way you might arrange flowers. Not every try works but each one launches another. Every constraint even dullness frees up a new design.

'American Horror' goes for a very specific kind of Seventies suburban downer ambience - 'Flowers in the Attic' paperbacks Black Sabbath album covers and late-night flicks like 'Let's Scare Jessica to Death.' It even has 'Go Ask Alice'-era urban legends.

I was taught to confront things you can't avoid. Death is one of those things. To live in a society where you're trying not to look at it is stupid because looking at death throws us back into life with more vigour and energy. The fact that flowers don't last for ever makes them beautiful.

So we mustn't lower our guard in any sense because of what has happened in terms of the death of Osama Bin Laden and we are certainly not doing that. The terror threat level here in the U.K. remains at severe and we're very conscious of the need to continue that.

When I listen to music I don't want to hear about flowers. I like death and destruction.

Where is the politician who has not promised to fight to the death for lower taxes- and who has not proceeded to vote for the very spending projects that make tax cuts impossible?

From my rotting body flowers shall grow and I am in them and that is eternity.

I've never been Romeo who meets a girl and falls for her immediately. It's been a much slower process for me each time I've gone into a relationship.

My dad taught me to be a leader or a follower and he said follower ain't fun. So I want to be the leader of Bubba Watson.

A member must say that he is a member of the Unification Church and that he is the follower of Sun Myung Moon. If he doesn't have the courage to say it he is not worthy of me.

We have newsreaders behaving like actors lowering their voices if it's a sad story as if we didn't know it's a sad story. There isn't a single cool newsreader.

The signs of outstanding leadership appear primarily among the followers. Are the followers reaching their potential? Are they learning? Serving? Do they achieve the required results? Do they change with grace? Manage conflict?

Some say that I should settle down go slower and not push so hard so quickly for such transformational change. To them I say that you misunderstand the size of the problems we face the strength of the status quo and the urgency of the people's desire for change.

Men do change and change comes like a little wind that ruffles the curtains at dawn and it comes like the stealthy perfume of wildflowers hidden in the grass.

I've always had an inquisitive mind about everything from flowers to television sets to motor cars. Always pulled them apart - couldn't put 'em back but always extremely interested in how things work.

Like any business the oil industry runs on the basic premise of supply and demand. The more supply - the lower the price. The higher the demand - the higher price. In other words the more people who can buy oil the higher the price of oil.

You know maybe I was just born in the wrong time but I love all things romantic. Puffy understands that. For my last birthday he covered my hotel room floor with rose petals and had flowers and candles all over the room.

Don't lower your expectations to meet your performance. Raise your level of performance to meet your expectations. Expect the best of yourself and then do what is necessary to make it a reality.

One way or another we all have to find what best fosters the flowering of our humanity in this contemporary life and dedicate ourselves to that.

I want it said of me by those who knew me best that I always plucked a thistle and planted a flower where I thought a flower would grow.

The flowers anew returning seasons bring but beauty faded has no second spring.

Beauty is but a flower which wrinkles will devour.

The U.S. states that allow for citizens' initiatives tend to have fewer laws and lower taxes than the ones that don't. But the beauty of the system is that it encourages the spread of best practice.

A beautiful bouquet or a long-lasting flowering plant is a traditional gift for women but I have recommended that both men and women keep fresh flowers in the home for their beauty fragrance and the lift they give our spirits.
