“You never really know what’s going to happen. You never know what the audience is going to be like or how they’re going to behave.”

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.

People have this obsession. They want you to be like you were in 1969. They want you to, because otherwise their youth goes with you. It’s very selfish, but it’s understandable.

Always falling but not for anything.

It’s the attitude about life, man. Looking at the light instead of the dark. Looking at love instead of fear.

Excellence is not an exception, it is a prevailing attitude.

God is always more interested in why we do something than in what we do. Attitudes count more than achievements.

You will find the whole world will change to you when you change your attitude toward it.

Many people excuse their own faults but judge other persons harshly. We should reverse this attitude by excusing others’ shortcomings and by harshly examining our own.

With attitude, you can determine your own performance.

There are some concrete ways to create a winning attitude. But nothing beats practicing it. When you prepare to win, belief comes easily.
