“Can you lay your life down, so a stranger can live? Can you take what you need, but take less than you give? Could you close every day, without the glory and fame? Could you hold your head high, when no-one knows your name?”

We were just killing time, we were young and restless, and needed to unwind. There ain’t nothing that lasts forever, forever.

Caught in the crossfire of a silent scream, where one man’s nightmare is another man’s dream.

To be a celebrity, I couldn’t think of anything more cringe-worthy.

If you love animals, don’t eat them.

I pack every minute I can with something to do.

With few words, one can speak the truth.

I need to be able to rock out.

Out of the dragon’s claws and into the fire, there’s a moment in every man’s life when he must decide what is wrong and what is right.

Thoughts of doubt and fear are pathways to failure. When you conquer negative attitudes of doubt and fear you conquer failure.

Music became my focus. At 13, I was jamming with my mates. At 15, I was playing clubs.

I only write music for myself, I don’t try and appeal to anyone else.

I think I’m better behind the camera than I am in front.

I always just wanted to be the singer or the bass player in the band. I’d love to have a band, where I was obviously the singer, but where it wasn’t me, it wasn’t my name.

The general who advances without coveting fame and retreats without fearing disgrace, whose only thought is to protect his country and do good service for his sovereign, is the jewel of the kingdom.

You can’t reverse fame. You can lose all the money, but you’ll never lose people knowing you.

Insult me all you want. Judge me as much as you want. Say what you think, everything you want. But one thing. Dont touch my fans.

We do not have to become heroes overnight.

If I blow my nose, it gets written all over the world.

It’s better for the whole world to know you, even as a sex star, than never to be known at all.

I don’t want to write an autobiography because I would become public property with no privacy left.

What I’d have liked would have been the money and the hit records without the fame.
