I like England more than I did when I left. Its become a bit of a better country in the last ten years, in the attitude of it. A bit more Americanized, which is both good and bad. At least when you order a cup of coffee they dont give you a hard time. – Teddy Thompson
I used to listen to my dad a lot as a way of trying to be close to him, as well, because my parents were divorced and I didnt spend that much time with him. And I used to put headphones on and listen to my dad talk and sing and I found that quite… bonding with him, in a weird way. – Teddy Thompson
I think Im too cynical for L.A. My sense of humor doesnt go down well here, which probably affects my love life. I need to have a laugh track following me around so people know Im trying to be funny. – Teddy Thompson
NASA has been one of the most successful public investments in motivating students to do well and achieve all they can achieve. Its sad that we are turning the programme in a direction where it will reduce the amount of motivation and stimulation it provides to young people. – Neil Armstrong
