James Blunt Quotes

I think I was lucky to be a little older when I became famous. But still, the shock of the world starting to treat you in a weird way...

It occurred to me that memorials shouldn't be grand. If you really want to honor the memory of a tragedy, you shouldn't create areas of calm reflection. You should make people uncomfortable. Put them in the shoes of those who perpetrated and those who suffered. Then ask, would they be able to forgive in these situations?
