“I have a lot of money stashed away, but I do live my life from day to day.”

The whole point of being in this business and being blessed and being successful is that you’re able to do things for your friends or your family, which means that they can have something special in their lives, too.

It’s the circle of life, and it moves us all, through despair and hope, through faith and love, ’till we find our place, on the path unwinding.

Love’s like a junkie, addiction’s a fact. Passion’s a monkey, you can’t keep off your back.

I was more ashamed that I couldn’t work the washing machine than the fact that I was taking drugs.

I was just genuinely shy. I’d always been a shy kid.

I was sitting in the classroom trying to look intelligent in case the teacher looked at me.

As a child, as a teenager, I was kind of not allowed to wear fashionable clothes.

Bands today have to learn their craft by putting the hard work in that we did when we were young performers.

That’s just a part of being an artist: you can’t write great stuff all the time, because if you did, then you’d be inhuman. The human side of people is that sometimes they fail.

I really appreciate my performing so much better, as I get older. I don’t take it for granted anymore. I really relish it and love it.

My mantra is if you raise money, don’t waste it.

What a scandal, if I die. Yeah, I’m gonna kill myself, get a little headline news.

It seems to me, sorry seems to be the hardest word.

If you write great songs with meaning and emotion, they will last for ever because songs are the key to everything.

Unless you show off you’re not going to get noticed.

Talk to each other. Never go to bed when you’re angry with each other. Lady Antonia Frasier who was married to Harold Pinter said they never went to bed on an argument.

We should do three things every day of our life. Number one is laugh. You should laugh every day. Number two is to think, we should spend some time in thought. And, number three is you should have your emotions moved to tears.

I don’t like being stuck in one situation, day to day.

There are 86,400 seconds in a day. It’s up to you to decide what to do with them.

I think of music as a menu. I can’t eat the same thing every day.

I wake up in the morning and I say ‘Ahh! Today’s the day for a song! I’m going to write a song today!’ And I do. I write a song.

I’m doing a two-hour show every day, so you can eat what you want.

I saw you walking with your other man today. If I catch you one more time, I’m gonna blow you both away.

There are people these days who can do things on the guitar which are beyond my reach. There’s one guy who plays with Queen who can do things I would dream of doing. I sincerely mean that.
