“The elusive nature of love it can be such a fleeting thing. You see it there and it’s just fluttering and it’s gone.”

People think they know you. They know the things about you that you have forgotten.

In England they always try out new mobile phones in Isle of Man. They’ve got a captive society. So I said, you should try the legalization of all drugs on the Isle of Man and see what happens.

Only a madman or an actor would want to be President of the United States.

You have to sing every day so you can build up to being, you know, Amazingly Brilliant.

I don’t think enjoying life is an exclusive prerogative of young people.

I’m not the businessman. I don’t deal with the business at all. Not anymore. Occasionally, every four years or five years, they tell me I’ve run out of money, I have to go and make some more.

The only performance that makes it, that really makes it, that makes it all the way, is the one that achieves madness.

A good thing never ends.

I always think it’s better to be not taking drugs or drinking or anything. That’s not saying I’ve never done it because I have. But I sort of learned I think after a while there has been – it didn’t take me that long to realize that it wasn’t a good thing.

I don’t only like rock music. There are other forms of music that I find interesting. I would want to do everything, every kind of music. I wouldn’t want to be limited to like playing heavy metal or whatever.

I don’t really mind criticism in music or in shows and stuff like that at all. I mean, it doesn’t really worry me even if it’s like out of place. At least it’s relevant.

I don’t want to be a rock star all my life. I couldn’t bear to end up like Elvis Presley in Las Vegas with all those housewives and old ladies coming in with their handbags.

I think it’s very important that you have at least some sort of inner thing you don’t talk about. That’s why I find it distasteful when all these pop stars talk about their habits.

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 like being completely isolated. I need the energy from other people.

In England you’re skewered on the altar of pop culture if you become pretentious.

I feel sure that no girl would go to the altar if she knew all.

I feel very comfortable with the U.K. tone and humour and laid-back attitude.

He best can paint them who shall feel them most.

I swear my bones can feel it whenever you speak my name.

But, at the moment, when I step on the pitch, when I have the ball I know it’s mine. It’s just a feeling.

It was always you who felt like water when my whole body was a flame.

I definitely feel there’s room for improvement.

You can’t get bored of winning. You can win 10 games in a row but you keep the same will to snatch the 11th. You always need more.
