“I don’t like being completely isolated. I need the energy from other people.”

I enjoy doing different kinds of things. I just enjoy being not tied too much. I feel that I’m tied to myself as a kind of traditional musician and a singer, and the history that I have ties me down.

You can’t be jealous and be a leader.

I don’t think that being in a full-time relationship is necessarily for everybody all of the time. It’s not necessarily some state of grace.

You don’t always do the same things you’ve done the night before. That’s what makes playing live so interesting as opposed to being in the studio.

Time is on my side, yes it is.

I don’t want to be singing Satisfaction when I’m 40.

I, personally, have a lot of energy, so I don’t see it as an immediate problem.

Any performer is one person privately and then he’s another person when he steps on the stage.

I came into music just because I wanted the bread. It’s true. I looked around and this seemed like the only way I was going to get the kind of bread I wanted.

It’s all right letting yourself go, as long as you can get yourself back.

There’s no absolutes in life – only vodka.

You can’t always get what you want.

I should think that being my old lady would be all the satisfaction or career any woman needs.

I got nasty habits; I take tea at three.

As long as my face is on page one, I don’t care what they say about me on page seventeen.

You don’t have to bathe every day to look clean. It’s just an illusion.

Love isn’t material. It’s energy. We experience it as kindness, giving, mercy, compassion, peace, joy, acceptance, non-judgment, joining and intimacy.

Not everything needs a reaction. Save you energy and care for things that genuinely matter.

Out of need springs desire, and out of desire springs the energy and the will to win.

I love New York. It’s hard to explain, but it’s the energy of the city. It’s not like L.A. where everything is spread out.

A joyous person abounds with energy and feels buoyant, because he or she is running a higher frequency current of energy through his or her system.

When a woman rises up in glory, her energy is magnetic and her sense of possibility contagious.

Stop giving your precious energy to things that make you feel bad.

When you are in the valley, keep your goal firmly in view and you will get the renewed energy to continue the climb.
